AMERICAN GIRL TRADITION: OUR ANNUAL NYC VISIT
AMERICAN GIRL TRADITION: OUR ANNUAL NYC VISIT
Some traditions aren’t negotiable. Every year, when we’re in New York City, there’s one stop that’s mandatory — the American Girl store. It’s not just about dolls. It’s about memories.
🗽 A FAMILY TRADITION IN THE HEART OF NYC
New York moves fast. Meetings, projects, job sites, travel. But this annual visit slows everything down. For my daughters, this store is magic. For me, it’s perspective.
Watching their excitement — pointing up at the lights, picking out accessories, planning which doll gets what — reminds me why balance matters. Business can scale globally. Projects can grow internationally. But these moments? They’re personal. And they’re priceless.
💡 LIGHTS, LAUGHTER, AND LEGACY
Standing under those signature ceiling installations, taking our yearly photo, I’m reminded that traditions anchor families. They create continuity in a life that often moves at 300,000 miles a year.
This stop in NYC has become part of our rhythm:
Work hard
Travel together
Create memories
Repeat
Simple. Powerful.
👨👧👧 WHY IT MATTERS
As entrepreneurs, we talk about legacy constantly — building companies, expanding globally, scaling infrastructure. But real legacy lives in moments like this. Annual traditions. Shared laughter. A simple photo that becomes a timestamp in your family’s story. New York gives us energy. But these visits give us grounding. And that’s the balance I’m always chasing.
“In a life that moves fast, traditions slow us down in the best way.”
