Trip to the Gran Manzana

In December, we traveled to NYC with Jaran's company to ring the closing bell at Nasdaq!

After a night of hanging out at the Shake Shack with the Morrises, we woke up at 5am (that's 3am MST) to see the Today Show.  Deborah got to shake Al Roker's hand.

We also took a carriage ride through Central Park.  It was minus 100 degrees outside so we had to wear every article of clothing that we brought.

And how could we not visit the Apple store in the Big Apple?!

Wild Animal Sanctuary

So there's a Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado, which is pretty cool.  They rescue mainly large cats (tigers, cougars, lions), but also have bears and wolves.  We spent two hours on the ~1/2 mile walkway that goes over the habitat.  We were lucky to go on a feeding day, which consisted of employees throwing frozen meat to the animals.
