Taylor had a conference out in NY during November and since he had trips every other week all semester he asked me to come out and meet him at the end of his last trip. It was a really quick visit to NY, I arrived Tuesday afternoon and we left Thursday night but we managed to do a lot and have a ton of fun. And it was cold of course, but we totally survived and wore a ton of layers.
We stayed in a itty bitty room in a hotel right off Times Square so we wandered around there...visiting the Hersey store for James and somehow going to the giant ToysRUs all three of the days we were in NY. We took the ferry past the Statue of Liberty, wandered around NY and stopped at cemetery because of course I always have to visit the cemeteries. We found some good food and some okay food.
Went to Little Italy, the Empire State Building, the Manhattan Temple, Grand Central Station, the MET, the 9-11 memorial, Central Park. We also found the most amazing pizza place ever crammed in a hole in the wall just down the street from the MET. Eating there at 4 pm on Thursday with a whole bunch of random locals was one of the highlights of the trip for me. And Central Park was our favorite spot to visit...the one bit of NY city that isn't city. Go figure. And we found an awesome castle in the middle of the park.
Taylor got a stiff neck starting on Wednesday so he had a hard time looking around. At one point he couldn't turn his head at all so he would have to turn his whole body to look at me. And at Grand Central Station he couldn't even look up to see the cool constellations on the ceiling so I took and picture and showed him. While we were standing under them. Poor guy.
Super fun. Such wonderful friends to take our kids for 3 days! And then we got home 1 am Friday morning and moved out on Saturday. Because we're crazy like that.
