We went to NYC with one of our best couple friends the weekend in between Christmas and New Years. It was an incredible time and best of all remarkably inexpensive considering it was New York at Christmastime. We took one car (about 7 hours because of HORRIBLE traffic), brought breakfast/ snack items, and even split a hotel room in New Jersey! That is how serious we are about saving money! It was totally the way to go!
It was CJ's first time to the Big Apple, and I realized NYC is actually the city I have traveled to the most...This was my 5th trip, which really surprised me since I don't at all consider myself to be big city enthusiast. But it was nice being able to remember where all the big landmarks were in relationship to each other.
I will now take my dad's advice for this blog: more pictures, less words :)
Ellis Island
central park, notice ice skaters in bottom left :)
maybe CJ's next career...
Tiffany's windows
love our friends, the Naves
we met up with our other great friends, the Santos (how do I make that plural?), for dinner one night
HELLO!
Notice I was wearing the same clothes in all of those pictures! Those were just from ONE day of our trip! Other highlights include frolicking through all the vendors and shops in Bryant Park, Ground Zero Memorial, M&M store, lots of Subway and train rides, and delicious NY pizza and cheesecake!
We are so glad we were able to take advantage of our geographical location and make a trip to NYC. CJ will have one or two 3 day weekends this semester, but I don't think we'll be making another trip of this magnitude. There are a lot of places in Virginia I am wanting to see, and I am getting nervous we are running out of time! CJ graduates The Basic School 4 months from yesterday, so I know I'm getting ahead of myself.
