Celebrating 10 years in NYC!!!

We celebrated our 10 year anniversary in the Big Apple.  Neither of us had ever been and WOW...SO AMAZING!!!  There was so much to see and do and we hit the ground running when we landed.  We had a full itinerary and wanted to see and do as much as possible.  We got to our hotel the first day around 3 and set off on our big city adventure.  The sights and people were truly fascinating, what an experience!!!  We jam-packed our 4 day stay with lots of tours, sightseeing, walking, walking and more walking.  We could have stayed for weeks and still not had a chance to see and do it all.  The subways and transportation made it easy to get to where we wanted and keep on trucking through our itinerary (well...that and a civil engineer for a husband who understood the maps and track system).  Our kids stayed with both sets of grandparents and had just as much fun as we did!!!  We were all happy to be reunited, though.  It was a fabulous week, one for the memory books for sure!!!
