New York trip

I have been wanting to do a trip to New York City for a long time now, and for whatever reason we just never got around to it. I think we always found other vacations to go on like Thailand and Egypt... and thought NY would always be an easy place to go later and so we put it off. Well now that there is a baby on the way, I really wanted to do NY now with just Matt and I and see the sights before we have a little one. So this summer I finally planned it and the first week of October we headed off for 4 days in the big apple.

We crammed in a lot during our mainly 3 days there (we got in pretty late the first day and just walked around a bit by our hotel in Midtown) including...

Day 1: Times Square, Rockefellar Center, Central Park, the MOMA museum, the broadway show Chicago.

Day 2: The lower east side for brunch, The New Art Museum in Soho, walked around in Soho for some shopping and cupcakes at the cutest little bakery we found, then we ended up in the Chelsea area and walked along Highline Park which was super cool! (this park is raised up and was built over old train tracks and goes through the city), and finally the Chelsea Market and dinner.

Day 3: Ground Zero, The Financial district, hung out at the park where people get on the ferry for the Statue of Liberty and Staten island (we didn't actually take the ferry over though)... and then back home!

Here are just a few pictures:
