What We've Been Up To.

I've done so much in the last week it is hard to sum it all up so I will use my pictures to help explain.  Adam has a really busy work schedule so I spend a lot my time exploring and walking around by myself.  But on the weekends, together -  we are unstoppable. On Saturday we were on our feet for 10 hours just walking around.  It is so much fun and made for some seriously sore calf muscles!!

Anyways...

Here is Central Park: These pictures are from last Monday.  As you can see the leaves are not quite turning yet, but hopefully soon. 

This is the famous skating rink inside the park.  Serendipity, anyone?  Those Zambonis look mighty bored.  They just look like they can't wait for the rink to open up :)  

Picture Perfect.  I wish you could hear this, but while I was taking this picture there was a musician playing jazz music on his saxophone.  I could have sat there for hours just listening to that! 

A Delighful Display at Mackenzie Child's flagship store on 5th Ave.  

  

Who else but Adam would catch a bird in mid air on camera?

Love these buildings...Love these trees

These next two pictures are from our favorite spot: The Highline.  It is an old above ground railroad that has been redesigned as an above ground walking path. 

Its. Just. Lovely.

Rainy nights make for awesome pictures.  This is a view from outside of our apartment:  The building with the green mast is the Empire State Building.    

  

We went to Brooklyn on Friday night and Saturday morning and just toured the city.  Brooklyn is so different than Manhattan. There are so many abondoned buildings on the water front.  It is crazy to think that that prime property is just sitting there...hmmm...makes me want to buy it all up.  Does anyone have a couple hundred mil laying around they wanna give me?  Yes...No...??  

The picture below is just one of the many historic buildings marked with graffiti.  As cool as graffiti is, it is sad to see these original brick walls all marked up. 

The J Train. I goes OVER the East River and makes for a cool view...if you aren't worried about knocking someone over because the train is super packed and there is barely any room to stand...

We are having a great time. I have to admit, last week was a little rough. Both Adam and I got a little homesick and "citysick" at the same time.  I think the crowds, noise, and hustle and bustle got to us both.  But all is better now.  :)  We just needed to regroup and get our heads back on straight.  After all, we are in NYC...

Walking around after a rainy day.  The steam from the subways makes everything seem like we are walking around on a movie set.
