Travel week!

Mike and I are a few days into our travel week, so it may be a while before posting again...

This past weekend we figured out how to take the train to New York and met my parents for a weekend. We had such a great time! I can't believe it's been 13 years since I was there last, and I loved this time in the city even more. We stayed near Chinatown, and walked everywhere! We saw some amazing sights...here's the highlights:

• Walking the Brooklyn Bridge
• Wall Street
• Battery Park (still under major construction from Sandy damage)
• Taking the subway to Queens to see a Mets game
• Grand Central Station
• NY Library
• Rockefeller Plaza
• Taking a carousel ride in Bryant Park
• Walking through Times Square at night - I couldn't believe how much it'd changed in 13 years - it's cleaned up well!
• Eating dinner at the first pizzeria in the US - Lombardi's
• Touring the 9/11 Memorial - wow, a really emotional sight
• Getting asked about buying knockoffs on Canal Street - sketch, but I was really tempted!

 I really can't believe how much we were able to pack into 2 days! Here are a couple pics we were able to take. Note in the first that Freedom Tower (being built on the WTC site) is nearly complete in the background.

Next up: New Orleans tomorrow!
