Happy 16th birthday, Maile!  After listening to (and singing along with) the Hamilton soundtrack for years, we decided it was time for her to see the play live on Broadway.  This was the impetus for a birthday trip to New York.  With Maile in charge, we saw things we wouldn’t have ever seen on our own. like The Color Factory.

Skeptical at first, turns out it was actually a lot of fun.

Of course, we had to go to the Statue of Liberty.  The last time we brought our kids to New York I had Maile on my shoulders for most of our time at the Statue.
