The MR and I just recently took a trip to NYC to visit friends and see the city...and we couldn't have picked a more beautiful time of year.
We hit the ground running the moment our plane landed at 5:30am. We went straight from the airport to breakfast with our NYC friends and my brother and his wife who got there around the same time from AZ. We were all so excited to be there that we couldn't wait to go explore. After breakfast we visited the 9/11 memorial. Although i didn't lose anyone on that tragic day, the memorial left me speechless, teary-eyed and completely heart- broken. It was a beautiful way to pay tribute everyone affected by that day.
As the day progressed we saw more and more; the Statue of Liberty, rode Staten Island Ferry, saw Times Square, and rode the Subway all over! Until 4pm...zZZZzzzZzZZZZzz.
We slept for an hour or two then were back at it again. No more time to sleep!
Our friends took us all over the city and were amazing hosts!
Here is a list of everything we did / saw:
Statue of Liberty, 9/11 memorial, Staten Island Ferry, Top of the Rock (amazing!), Serendipity (Can't say no sundae, to die for!), Battery Park, Ate water dogs, Times Square, Ice Skating in Central Park (so fun!), Grand Central Station, Brooklyn pizza, Shopping (a little), ate super delicious food, and randomly connected with an old Navy buddy of the MR's (love when that happens!) I'm sure there's more but I can always make changes later on.
We had an amazing time and are so grateful that our friends opened their door for us.

| 9/11 Memorial - In case you haven't been, this waterfall is a huge square with a square hole in the center that you can't see down. My interpretation was that it represents infinity. Really neat. A bitter sweet moment. |
