Empire State of Mind

Eric and I made a return visit to NYC this summer (end of June/beginning of July) and had a wonderful visit.

We did a double decker bus tour of the city, as well as of Brooklyn. After a few days in the city we headed out to Long Island to spend some time with friends of ours that we met on our cruise in October (2010).

Since I forgot to make notes and/or blog about our trip at the time, I'll provide you with a few of my favorite pictures... ;)

The VERY first Barnes & Nobles:


Riding on the Staten Island Ferry. Manhattan behind us.




The Montauk Point Lighthouse on Long Island.

New York...concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

Eric and I hopped on Amtrak and headed to the Big Apple on Friday for my first visit ever. It was a little overwhelming to say the least but so worth the trip.

Here is a picture of us from our trip to see Lady Liberty to whet your appetite for the rest of our adventure.
