The photos on his phone and the GoPro videos turned out great, though.   <\/p>\n<p>Back in New York we went to Joe&#8217;s Pizza (of Spiderman fame) for a pizza and enjoyed it in our hotel room, exhausted from the day&#8217;s excitement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0fb9f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0fb9f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dear Lo, I hope you had a wonderful 24th birthday.
