On Friday, September 7, Larry surprised me with a birthday dinner near BWI with Kristy, Kathy and Chad at the G and W Restaurant ! We spent the night in Baltimore and caught the Amtrak into New York City to board the Norwegian Gem the next day! What a spectacular birthday surprise!
The lights of Time Square for the second time in a month! WOW!

Passing Lady Liberty is always a thrill!

Garden view through the gorgeous gates!
What a spread!
