For our 10 year anniversary we decided we should take a little trip. Just us two lovebirds exploring New York City, romantic yes? New York is a place both of us have always wanted to see and decided it was high time to check it off the bucket list. We had a great time hitting some of the hot spots and also some of the gems off the beaten path. I tried to schedule a few things before we left and then I also left plenty of time for just exploring. And exploring is just what we did. I'll tell you one thing about New York...it's EXHAUSTING.
So here is Day 1. We took a SUPER early flight out so we were ready to go by like 10am in the big city. We quickly got to familiarizing ourselves with the subway system (although I still can't say I'm an expert, but Chad probably can), took a stroll to Grand Central Station and were on our way! First stop was lunch at the Shake Shack. AMAZING. Then we strolled the streets for a bit and found the 911 Memorial, which I will tell you now the pictures don't do it justice. Then we went to the 911 Museum as well. I am not a museum/history person at all but I was really excited to go to this museum because this was a part of OUR history. It's a really great museum, done very tastefully and it has things that appeal to every different type of learner. There were audio tapes, video footage, artifacts on display and photography exhibits. Definitely a must do if you ever visit. From here we headed back to our hotel to get ready and then headed out for an evening on Broadway. We went to the Lion King and it was spectacular. Day 1 and we were off to a great start!
