Looking Back at the Big Apple

So I am finally getting around to going through our photos of my trip to New York. So much to choose from. I will start of with two photos of T and I where we try to take the picture ourselves at arms length. I know this is just what you want to see when it comes to our trip... Well maybe not but I find them kinda funny/interesting. The first one is while we are seated in the theatre at Wicked. I think I am giving the camera my wicked look. Nice shot of the nose that a clumsy plastic surgeon (or was he an ENT?) told me he could fix for cheap if I was interested. Before that point I had no idea it needed fixing. It's followed me through life anyways. At least T looks pleasant enough.

Next you see us in the bright sunlight of central Park on our last day. I am looking pretty refreshed and T looks, well, concerned about something. Really he is much more handsome than this photo depicts. I may be in trouble for posting this, so don't be surprised if it's down later...

So enough of us, let's take a look at some shots of the city. There were sky scrapers....

There were constructions workers who called out "Welcome to New York!"

There were school children on field trips...

There was architecture and artwork.... (not sure what my mouth is doing).

There was a ferry ride...

And a beautiful lady of liberty....

A tired statue of Cleopatra and a tired Kelly at the museum...

As tiring as it was to be on the go for 4 days sight seeing, it was such a thrill to take it all in. I hope we get to do it again some time. We didn't even scratch the surface. The last time we got away just the two of us was when we went to Monticello about 7 years ago. Over brunch in NYC on the last day there, we discussed a future trip to Europe one day. We were eating at a place called Eruopa which seemed to start us on the topic of travel. T scrolled ahead on his iphone calendar to the year when Baby Girl will be 15 (I say we could go when she's 12 but whatever), and he put it down for springtime 2022. Trip to Europe... I hope it won't be that long before we escape as a couple again.
