Last weekend I went to the Big Apple! First time ever. It was a blast! Jake travels all over for work and is gone pretty much every weekend, and this time I tagged along and was able to get a last minute flight to the city. It was fun to see all the sights. I got in and it was gorgeous! I sometimes forget how green the east coast is (although it comes at a price...humidity...ugh) It was the perfect time to go because the leaves were changing and it was so pretty, and it wasn't too hot or cold. It was perfect :-)
I got in Saturday evening and spent the time at Jake's trade show with him volunteering my services (kind of) as a promo girl. But mostly I just wondered around. It was actually a lot of fun! We were staying in Long Island, and by the time the show was over we were exhausted and it was pouring down rain so we just went to dinner and back to the boatel. (It was a hotel on water...cute huh) Then Sunday we did the show again. It was a good thing I did because I would have gotten lost in the city by myself.
Afterwards we went into the city at night, which was amazing! We had pizza on the Brooklyn Bridge, then went and saw Times Square and some of the other sights, like Central Park. I'm so glad we went at night, because it looks so different.
Monday morning we went back. We went to Central Park again and Times Square, and saw WAll Street and the financial district and the site for Ground Zero. We also went to where the Statue of Liberty was. We rode the subway all around and ran into some interesting characters! I love New Yorkers; they are hilarious. It was a GREAT time and I'm so glad I went! We had a blast!! I need to make a slideshow of all the pictures i took but I'll do that later. I'm tired :-)
