Jacob got home on Wednesday from a 3 week visit to New York with Dave’s parents. \u00a0He had a very nice — and busy — visit. \u00a0He had the chance to go with his Grampy to a classic car show in Stony Brook<\/a>, he visited the Statue of Liberty<\/a> in New York City, went to a Long Island Ducks minor-league baseball game<\/a>, visited the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad<\/a> in Pennsylvania, and he ate filet mignon at a restaurant not once, but twice!<\/p>\n

The filet mignon<\/a> particularly tickled me because he’s alway so picky about the fat on steak. \u00a0Wouldn’t you know, filet is now his favorite cut of steak.<\/p>\n

That’s my high-stakes boy!<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of pictures from his trip that Dave’s Mom took. \u00a0He had a wonderful time!<\/p>\n
