new york wrapped up.

Every time I think about New York, see pictures of New York, or hear that people are visiting New York I give a wistful sigh. Although it was a jam-packed few days, I loved every second of it! I am making it a point to go back to New York again before I'm 30. I think I'll have enough money to make another trip by then. (Ha, right?)


 9/11 Memorial.

Statue of Liberty. {We only were near the Statue for less than 5 minutes...heh}

parks + museums.

One thing I wish we did more of is spend more times in the parks. I absolutely adored the parks there! A few weeks ago, I had jury duty in L.A. and was assigned to the courthouse right next to Grand Park. I thought, "Oh, surely it'll be as great as the parks in New York!" It was nice, but not the same. :(

 
Washington Square Park!






MOMA



I don't have as many pictures from our second day because we went to SoHo and shopped for quite a bit. Heh. :) At night we ate in St. Mark's and had some pretty tasty Japanese food.

welcome to new york!

Hello Friends!

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late; with transitioning into a different schedule and trying to get in the swing of things, I haven't had any time to really edit any photos. Trust me, I have photos to share with y'all. :)

Around this time last month, my good friend and I flew to the East Coast to visit our other dear friend in...


New York Cityyyyy!!

This trip had me fallin' head over heels for this city. I am an introvert (hollah at me, my peeps!) and I thought I'd be scared out of my wits being in such a large city with so many people. The biggest surprise was that I absolutely loved it! I love how there are so many people and the stories that they have, people watching, the history that is seeping from the buildings, and the parks!

We had such a blast getting to explore the city and being such tourists, but the next time we go...we're definitely just sticking to eating and chillin' at the parks. ;)
