New York City

Last Tuesday and Wednesday Jeremy and I made our way to NYC for a quick overnight trip. It was our first time in the big apple and let me tell you it was pretty dang exciting! We ending up getting an explorer pass that allowed us to pick several different attractions that we wanted to see at a lower overall cost. Some of our adventures included Ripley's Believe it or Not (wasn't great--don't waste your money), Madame Tussauds wax museum (loved it), Top of the Rock (a view from the top of Rockefeller plaza), a cruise to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (loved it), and we also went to the American Museum of Natural History (more for kids really), central park, and ground zero. We were able to eat some great food during our trip, including our first New York slice, delicious hamburgers and shakes from the Shake Shack, a ginormous pastrami sandwich from Carnegie Deli, and of course Pinkberry.

Here are some picture of our trip.

Times Square at night. Jeremy was a little claustrophobic with all the action but I was soaking it all in.

Other then being completely exhausted by the end we had a great time! Can't wait to see what the city looks like in the fall.
