NYC

Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

A few weeks ago my mom, youngest daughter and I took a trip to New York City.  We first stopped in Washington, DC for the night and took in a walking tour of some famous sites.  But then it was on to NYC at day light.

Statute of Liberty

Chinatown

We saw the sights.  And ate the food.  Our trip included the Statute of Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Memorial, Chinatown, Little Italy, American Museum of Natural History, several beautiful cathedrals includes the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Times Square, Grand Central Station, the Empire State Building and the broadway musical Pippen.

Blinding white and neon for days

Pizza bigger than her head

Me and my girl in the city that never sleeps

New York City bustles. Shakes.  Hums.  Flashes.  Dashes.  And spins you around.  There is something new to do, see or learn at every turn.  But the time spent with my two travel companions was my most favorite part of the trip.

What fun! I think it would be fun to take my kids, or at least my daughter, on a trip to NY to see the sights and see a show, when they get bigger.

What fun and super memories for you all! You are three beauties out enjoying the cities. Did you do the memorials at night tour in DC? Fun right?

Thanks for sharing, it is a nice place to visit but I am glad for my quiet place by the sea whenever I come home from traveling and I bet you were happy to get home to the country too.

Happy Sewing

What an amazing trip. You saw so much and did so much. Did you need to decompress from all the lights and noise?
