Big Lights, Big City

New York City is AWESOME! What an amazing trip I had with my sister!  We left on Sunday evening to go visit my friend, Erin, in New York City.  We stayed with her in Brooklyn, NY and to say the least--we had a BLAST!  A lot of the pictures that I took do not even do the city justice! It's a place that everyone should go visit at least once in their life. I could probably write a whole book about the whole trip but I'll summarize each day.

Sunday:  We flew out of Norfolk and arrived to NY late Sunday night. The plane rides were great and we had a lay over in Hotlanta! 

Essential items on a flightttt.

Monday:  We started off by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge! Yes, we walked across the whole thing.  It ended up being very neat because of the view of the skyline! It was such a nice walk.  We walked all around Lower Manhattan visiting South Seaport, Battery Park, Ground Zero, Little Italy, Chinatown, and Timesquare!  That evening we met up with Erin (she had to work during the days--booo!) and went to get drinks followed by an amazing dinner at one of the restaurants for NYC Restaurant week!  It was delicious!

Tuesday: We got up early to head to the Today show--but not early enough. Haha! They already had went inside when we got there so we stopped for an iced coffee instead!  We started off in Rockefeller Plaza and then began to go through the shops on 5th Ave!  After that, we ended up at the central park followed by another trip down 5th Ave!  We then continued to complain about the pain our bodies were in but continued to the central library, Macy's, Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, and back to TimeSquare to meet up with Erin for Mama Mia the broadway show and dinner!

We had an absolute blast and the trip went way to fast! It was so nice to catch up with Erin since it's been toooo long since I've seen her--a whopping month I think!  Guess we'll have to soon start planning our next trip to Chicagooo!! (We're going to just following Erin around from town to town as her and Adam move around!)  

Craig and I are off today to head to Florida for his cousin, Logan's wedding!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll blog about our get away to Florida when we return!!!
