I’m going to New York!
And… I am really excited about it. This is a last minute trip - but last minute trips happen to be my favorite! Kevin will be in New York for two weeks this month for training. And it just so happens that his birthday falls on the weekend between the two weeks he is there - so what better way to celebrate his birthday then to go out to New York and celebrate there?! It is like a present for both of us!
As most of you know, I love New York (and I even have the cheesy tourist shirt to prove it!). This will be my 4th visit to the Big Apple, and I am already making a list of all the things I’d like to do while I am there! I am amazed at the number of things there I still haven’t done. Here is my list so far..
1. Statue of Liberty. Crazy, right? I’ve never been to the Statue of Liberty. During this visit, I’d like to buy a cheesy hat, and walk 354 steps to the crown of the statue - which just reopened to the public days ago.

2. Visit the John Lennon sites. I want to go see his memorial and the building he lived in while he lived in New York. Yes, I am a crazy Beatles fan - I can’t help it!

3. Hang out in Central Park. I’ve been to Central Park a couple times, but I haven’t had the chance to really spend time in the park. I have this intense desire to grab a blanket, a book and just hang out in that park!
Any other recommendations for things we should do while we’re there? Empire State building? Ground Zero? Any restaurants we should hit up?
