NYC, Hock-style

Two years ago, the Conlys and we Benefields had the opportunity to visit our dear friends, Joel and Stacy Hock, who had recently moved to New York City. It was a wonderful trip--so wonderful in fact that we've been chompin' at the bit to go again ever since! When the Hocks graciously invited us to come a couple of weeks ago, we jumped at the opportunity for a "baby-free" vacation and left Kate and Adelaide to be looked after (and spoiled no doubt) by their respective grandparents.

We had a blast! Joel and Stacy are phenomenal hosts and really know how to show their guests a great time. Delicious food, great conversations, cool sightseeing and entertainment... the list goes on.

The girls in Times Square:



The fellas.

Josh and I at the United Nations. (By the way, the tour is kinda a rip off...not completely unlike the organization itself.)

The whole gang eating at a tiny little no-name burger joint hidden away inside a really fancy hotel. Never know what you'll find in this city.

Autumn in Central Park. It was a perfect time of year to visit.

We miss the Hocks and really appreciate that we can have such a great time hanging out with them despite the fact that we don't get to see them very often. We look forward to their return to Austin some day!
