I Love NY

We’re back!! We had the most amazing time in New York; I could probably gush about it for days! The shopping lived up to my expectations in every imaginable way and we scored some great deals! I also need to rave about Gray Line Tours because they really have their act together and we had a great time seeing the city on the double decker bus! We saw SOHO, Madison Square Garden, Central Park, The Meatpacking District, Chinatown, Little Italy, Wall Street, Ground Zero, Times Square, Broadway, and we even went over to Brooklyn! We also took a night tour of the city and I highly recommend that, it’s was just breathtaking to see the city at night, and to get the vantage point from the top of a bus. One of my favorite aspects of going to New York was honestly, people watching! It boggles my mind how dense the city is, and how busy it is, 24/7. Everyone has their own individual style and I LOVE that. You really see it all! I was able to get some outstanding fall fashion ideas and we really want to go back in spring! Lol. We didn’t see any Broadway shows or go to any museums, but considering we only had 2 days, I think we accomplished a lot! In my opinion, it was perfect because this was just a little taste for us, and we got the know the city, so next time we can come back and do all that other stuff. We didn’t see anyone famous, except some basketball player I’ve never heard of (Byron Williams…I think?) Although we did get on Spanish MTV! Lol. They had a big Mexican parade and we were trying to cross the street. Well, we got caught up in the parade right when some VJ from MTV was walking through with a big float. He had a huge white fur jacket and hat with a bunch of bling-bling. Lol. Jim was like “Yo..you rock”! They had all the camera crews filming us, and him saying that. It cracked me up, our big shining moment! Haha. So anyway, I basically think everyone should go to New York, at least once during your lifetime. It’s been over 10 years since I was there last time and it was even better than I remembered! You just get a feel for how great our Country is though, and how vital New York really is! Plus it just exudes magnetism and excitement and I totally can see the appeal for living there. Not for me personally, but it’s definitely an exciting place.
So we are back home and back to the real world! The boys did GREAT when we were gone, and I actually believe this trip was good for them too, they really thrived with Monica and Jeff (our friend’s who stayed with them). Now I have to think about packing the house up, and all the real estate stuff. We only have a week ½ before its go-time! I’m also really stressed about another issue but I can’t say much more than that. Trust me, I’ll spill the beans soon but right now I just can’t. Well, I have about 50 empty boxes just waiting for me, I better start packing!
