10 year anniversary in NYC


I was lucky enough to spend a week in New York City with Jason for our Anniversary.  We had a fantastic time! We packed so much into a week.  NYC is such an awesome place. We had good weather...ate good food...and saw amazing things.  Here are a few pictures from the trip.

 

Central Park

 

Saw a Letterman Show taping
(Dr. Phil was one of the guests)

 

Top of the Empire State Building
(slightly overrated in my opinion)

 

City Bus Tour (one of the best things we did)  We were able to see Uptown, Downtown, Harlem, and Brooklyn.

 


9/11 Memorial
(so sad, but breathtaking & beautiful)

 










Yankee Stadium

 



Love you Derek Jeter.




Statue of Liberty, view from Staten Island Ferry




Views from The High Line (public park built on historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's West Side)....the only place that was quiet and peaceful in the city.







One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower)

 

We also saw Rock of Ages on Broadway,  rode the Subway A LOT, tried to avoid the chaos that is Times Square, people watched (hours and hours of cheap entertainment),  and ate LOTS of desserts (Magnolia Bakery YUM!)
We were happy to get home to be with the kids, but glad we had that time away.  Many thanks to our families for watching the kids while we were gone!
