Well, that was a fabulous staycation! I enjoyed a four-day weekend with my cousin prowling around NYC, giggling at her awe of all of the things I now completely take for granted. It's such a joy to see a city I've been living in through new eyes and was an aptly timed trip as I had the opportunity to do some final touristing and appreciating of the city before I depart for good in...less than two weeks, today!
Brace yourself, because there are about to be more photos in this one post than in the entirety of my blog....
 |
| at The Plaza! |
Yes, I made her pose for this. She'll appreciate me later.
 |
| in Central Park! |
 |
| crossing the Brooklyn Bridge! |
 |
| free doggy bags in Brooklyn! |
I felt compelled to take this iconic photograph as a mental note that they do not have such things in Manhattan...welcome to DUMBO! (By the way, if you are not a New Yorker and come into town, Dumbo is a
must visit! you heard it here, folks.)
 |
| Anne and the Empire State Building! |
 |
| slightly sweaty after a long day.... |
It's very apt that we're posing beneath the "Vegetarian Burger" posting as that is what we
all got. I actually despise ordering the same thing as other people so I was none too pleased. We also ordered the same thing at lunch the next day...seriously peeved.

| girls at Lucky Strike! |
No, I didn't wear the same outfit four days running - these are all taken on the same day. And yes, we did go to The Plaza, Central Park, Brooklyn, Ground Zero, City Hall, West Village and SoHo...all on day one. I told you I get aggressive.
Luckily for Anne, day two consisted of a whole lot of this out at Long Beach:

| a lil greasy post-beach time |
And the rest of the weekend was filled with rain, providing ample time for much-needed napping and a viewing of "Crazy, Stupid Love" (so cute!)
Now it's Wednesday already and I need to get a' packin' for the big move!!!
I hate ordering the same thing as other people too! NYC looks great I really want to take a day trip in the fall :)
