Trip to NYC

About a month ago when my family was here, we took a day out of our schedule to make a trip to NYC. It was a weekday and the weather changed dramatically after we drove past Philadelphia. The entire day in New York was cooooold. Well I guess it was around 50 degrees and sunny which isn't incredibly cold for New Yorkers, but for us it was. Us, the Sunny Armadillos from Texas. LOL It was an amazing feeling to be in the middle of Times Square surrounded by all the beautiful architecture and enourmous buildings, though. I don't think I will ever forget that experience. Seeing the skyline as we drove in from Jersey City was astounding. It was an experience unlike any other. I was so happy to share that trip with my family. I knew it was something really special and I enjoyed spending that time with them because I knew that in a couple days after, they would be leaving back to Laredo. I had a New York style hotdog, got to see ground zero (where the world trade center towers used to be), and I got to experience the tourist side of the Big Apple. One of the things I was anticipating was going to the top of the Empire State Building so that I could see the view from the roof, but because of the heavy fog that day, there was no visibility. I wish I had alot more time to get to see more things. There were so many things I missed. Fortunately, NYC is only about 3 hours away from DC, so Luis and I have already talked about visiting sometime when we're both free..maybe on a weekend.
