Quotes from Rachel in New York

Some of the things Rachel said during our New York trip:

--The morning we woke up in Grandma and Grandpa's guest bedroom, she turned to me (after she climbed into the bed and snuggles with us): "I love going to Hebrew school because I get to be around people who understand me." I was astonished at that and tried to ask her for more details, but she clammed up.

--"When I grow up, I want to live in San Francisco, New York, or Washington, D.C.," Rachel announced while we were driving into the city to see "Wicked." "Why?" I asked her. "I like the busy-ness, she explained."

--We got to Broadway a little early, so we were able to get Rachel a pretzel and walk to Times Square, which Drew really wanted to show her. "I'm holding a pretzel and I'm walking in Times Square!" Rachel gushed. "I feel like a real New Yorker!"
