The Big Apple

Blair was going to New York for work a couple weeks ago, so I decided to tag along. And of course that means Weston got to tag along as well. I hadn't been to NYC since I was in junior high, so it pretty much felt like going for the first time. I loved it! There is so much to see and do. Nate and Dani came up from DC for a few days. It was awesome to hang out with them.

A few random thoughts and observations:
1. There are a lot of people in Manhattan.
2. There are a lot of buildings in Manhattan. Seriously, it blows me away how much is packed on to that island.
3. New York has very good pizza and very good cheesecake.
4. Visiting Ground Zero was very sobering. The memorial museum moved me to tears. It was interesting to go there with Nate and hear about his experiences in NYC on 9/11.
5. A lot of movies have been filmed in NYC. Now I want to go watch all of them.
6. I ate way too much (see #3 above).
7. Central Park is huge. I mean, I knew it was big, but being there was different. It is amazing how you can be on the noisy, busy, crowded streets of New York and then you walk into the park and you are in this beautiful, green, peaceful place. Awesome.
8. We walked a lot, which is a good thing considering how much we ate.
