New York City Day 3

First of all, sorry for all the NYC photos, but I just couldn't pick a handful to share. We went to so many cool places and NYC is incredibly photogenic. And second, this is my last post for NYC photos. I'll be back to my regularly scheduled program next week. You can see my photos from day one here and photos from day two here.

Our last full day in the city was a little wet. There were torrential downpours ALL day. It just didn't stop raining. Thankfully we saved The American Museum of Natural History for this day. So we spent the majority of the day inside. We showed up at the museum an hour after it opened and stayed until it closed and we still didn't get through the entire museum.


 

New York City Day 2

This time last week we were finishing up our third day in New York City. I'm happy to be home in my own bed and with my kitties but I definitely wish I was back there exploring more. You can see my photos from day one of our trip here.  On the second day we decided to take the subway down to Battery Park and just make our way back to our hotel from there. We weaved through a lot of neighbourhoods in lower Manhattan.

I loved all the old buildings mixed with the newer, tall buildings down in the financial district. 


A pistachio French Macaron! It was so incredibly good. I'm happy I finally got to try a real one!


The small cemetery beside Trinity Church was absolutely beautiful and peaceful.



New York City Day 1

Like I said in my previous post, me and Adam went to New York City last week from Monday through Thursday. We decided to go a couple of months ago and booked our flight through Porter Airlines and decided on a boutique hotel near the Empire State Building. We didn't have many flight options but Porter is a great airline to fly with. They have Porter lounges at most airports and offer free wifi, coffee, tea, juice, water, and snacks. And free is always good! And I highly recommend the hotel we stayed at - Herald Square Hotel! It was clean, quaint, and you get a private bathroom. And we never once didn't feel safe in that area and the staff was super helpful. Plus it was so close to Penn Station for the subway.

We saw the sunrise on our 6:25 a.m. flight.

There were cherry blossoms EVERYWHERE!

Big City Dreaming

Ever since me and Adam decided on NYC being our trip this year, I can't stop thinking about it, planning it, looking things up online... I lose track of time thinking about and planning our trip constantly. It's fun though and I'm beyond excited!

Of course I've thought about what I'll wear and pack. I want to look cute but I also need to pack sensible clothes... lots of layers and shoes I can walk around in all day comfortably. But I'm definitely dreaming of adorable ModCloth dresses, trench coats, and Spring shoes. All things that I won't be packing, well maybe there will be dresses, but that's about it. Either way, I can dream about the perfect Big City wardrobe...

I'm just in love with all the cat prints at ModCloth right now. And the vintage popsicle dress needs to be mine!
