New York City

Shane and I were able to get away on a little trip to NYC at the beginning of December. Neither of us had ever been, so we were really excited when he had to go for work. We extended a few extras days and made it into a mini vacation. New York is so much fun! Luckily my mom was willing to watch Sawyer for us, so we could enjoy our time. Thanks Grammie! We bought the City Passes, which get you into all of the main attractions. We hit Top of the Rock, Empire State, the MET, the MOMA (another art museum), and the Natural History Museum. We also went out to Liberty and Ellis Islands. Our brother-in-law, Jeff, knew someone who was able to get us onto the Stock Exchange floor as well. We wandered Wall Street, 5th Avenue, Greenwich Village, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square. So much to see! We also gained valuable knowledge of traveling by subway! Overall, we had great times, good food, and a nice little break from real life.
