The Big Apple part I

A week or so before we went back to Jakarta... Bella and Mark took a trip out to New York City to visit "Auntie Ria." This was the longest time Bella had ever been away from her mom... but she was super excited to go to New York and did a fantastic job the whole trip.

Bella smiles as she settles in for the cross country flight... nothing compared to flying back home!


Bella gives Maria a huge hug when we first arrive.


Bella and Maria say hello.


One block from Maria's apartment in Brooklyn Heights is a great view of Manahattan.


We finished off a sensational first day with a huge find: a Dora ice cream bar!
