I’m digging these Women Cryptologists of World War II Stamps.

During World War II, some 11,000 women labored day and night, helping to process and decipher an endless stream of enemy military messages. Their work was by turns frustrating and exhilarating—and one of the conflict’s best-kept secrets. With this stamp, the U.S. Postal Service honors all of the women cryptologists of World War II, whose service played an inestimable role in the Allied victory.

Our 2022 Family Yearbook has arrived! This is the fifteenth book that Tammy has created. Everyone treasures them. 💗

Tyler and I successfully solved the Sugar Rush room at Exit Escape Room NYC! We had 3m 3s time remaining on the clock. Doing puzzle rooms with just two people isn’t easy but we got it! Room 48!

Nintendo NY

One of our must stop places for Tyler and I in New York was Nintendo New York! We got here on Sunday right at 11a when they opened. The store is filled with cool Nintendo history, characters, games, and of course plenty of gear to buy. We shopped and roamed around for 90 minutes taking it all in, including selfies with Link and Bowser.

Tyler and I visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. It is strange to experience things that are so vivid in my mind but are things that happened before Tyler was born. This is all history to him. Everything is so well done here. I strongly recommend experiencing it.

I would not do well on this elevator. 💀

You must have a New York bagel! So much cream cheese. Cinnamon & Raising with plain for me. Liberty bagel with Oreo cream cheese for Tyler from Liberty Bagel in Midtown.
