Home from New York City!!! Current mood: excited Category: Travel and Places
I just have to say that four days in the Big Apple was not long enough!! We did all the tours and sightseeing our bodies could handle- pretty sure we walked about 20 miles!! Tanya and I both decided that we belong in Manhattan and someday we are going to move there!! We almost did want to come home- believe me we tried to think of ways to get our kids up there and just stay forever!!! There was not one thing about that city that I did not absolutely love- even with people having no personal space! By the end of our trip we were taking there subway here and there.....crossing the street when the sign said not to cross and being the New Yorkers we were meant to be!!! We got to see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, The BIG TREE at Rockefeller Center, Harlem, The East and West Village, The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Macy's, The Plaza, Central Park, Times Sqaure (everyday when we walked out of our hotel), the 3 story Toys R Us in Times Square, the biggest book store in NEw York City- 18 miles of books- I was in heaven!!! AND all the homeless people, people on the streets dressed up as Spiderman, Spongebob, King Kong, etc- and yes we took pics with them all- even the homeless- and we paid for them!! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST- the ENTIRE REASON FOR MY TRIP-THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART- CEZANNE TO PICASSO EXHIBITION!!! We spent 4 hours in the museum and it was not near enough time to see it all- but we did cover my favorites- Greek, French and Roman Renaissance Sculpture and Painting, Egyptian art- and MODERN ART----I got to goo and gah over Picasso, Kandisky, Jasper Johns, Max Ernst, Cezanne and that is just to name a few!!
We had a blast! I could not have went with a better friend than Tanya- she loved the city as much as me! We enjoyed every part of the trip and we just could not quit smiling!!
