A country boy can survive!

I know what you are thinking......Davone....a country boy?

I have come to the conclusion that yes he is country! He loves shooting BB guns, says words like " Dag Nabbit " , and he loves to go camping ( and hoping to soon ). So I would have to say that he is officially Country!!!

So Davone went around New York City to go shopping and sight seeing. Lamar and Jalessa went with him to act as his body guards...Not really but it is always a good idea to travel with "the locals". Davone is no longer considered a local of New York City!!!!

Wanda also decided to join them and go out on the town!
They went to go and see Times Square and Davone felt right at home there amongst all the weird New Yorkers!

At one point in the night he thought he was Bruce Lee! I will remind him of this when he thinks the kids do something weird!

Davone enjoyed trying to barter with the shopkeepers and looking for good deals. Times Square was a lot of fun for everyone!

The group also headed to Grand Central Station!

The next day Davone met up with Gloria his friend since Jr. High...I think. They went to The Top of the Rock....Or Rockefeller Center observation deck! They got to see a lot from their Vantage point!

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Central Park....Especially at Christmas! It is so pretty!

Here is the United Nations Flags....How pretty!

Davone survived walking down the street in NYC and crossing the cross walks! Davone also survived all the rides on the buses and on the subways, He managed to survive the neighborhood and most of all he managed to survive being away from his wife and kids for so long! So I guess a Country Boy can survive in the big city!!!

Our part to stimulate the Economy!

Davone hasn't been "home" ( back in New York ) since 2003, So when the government sent us our economic stimulus check we figured what better way to stimulate the economy then for Davone to go to New York!!!!

No you aren't seeing things! Yes Davone is wearing a sweatshirt in the middle of August ( with the airlines charging for all the extra baggage now we had to be a little creative in the packing and in case he got cold on the plane ) and Yes he did carry his basketball with him on the plane ( so that he can try to squeeze a game in with Lamar )!

The kids and the wife stayed in Arkansas while Davone went to New York. The government only sent enough for him to go :) and the kids had school!

So.... this is just the beginning of Davone's vacation story. It all started with a horrible economy, a mother's day present, and XNA! The rest of the story will follow shortly!
