Sometimes one just needs to get away from it all for a minute. The hubby and I decided to take a quick fly in and out to one of our favorite cities (for me, it is my most favorite), New York City. We stayed a couple of blocks from Times Square rather in Midtown like… Continue reading A New York Jaunt

Relaxed in New York
Last week I wrote about our first day in the Big Apple. I’m going to share the remainder of the trip today. All in all, it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable of vacations yet. Saturday morning saw us meet up with family, Jack and Steve. They happened to be in the City… Continue reading Relaxed in New York
Brooklyn Bridge✅
The hubby and I are in New York. After 20+years together, this is our first trip alone! We’ve been all over, but always with friends or family. Hopefully he’ll be a good travel companion. The trip did start off a little shaky, due to me. I had in my mind what I thought was our… Continue reading Brooklyn Bridge✅
Last Day, Sad Day

It was fun watching the faces of some people when they asked where we were visiting from and we listed all of these different places. As… Continue reading Last Day, Sad Day

We made it to the new Hudson Yards shopping mall, touched Madison Square Gardens, climbed to the top of the Vessel, marveled at the engineering of The Shed, saw Macy’s, ate at Keen’s Steakhouse (opened in 1885 and still in the same location), and saw Come From Away… Continue reading Always Look Up, and to the Side
Reflections
Today on my walkabout, a much warmer walkabout, my mind drifted to the events of the past year. And there were a lot of them. Last year at this time, no one I believe, could have predicted where I, and my family, would be at this time this year. There were things we were thinking… Continue reading Reflections
Hello New York!
I am in New York City with my husband and the Papas. It is our annual trip to the Big Apple for Broadway, good food, sightseeing, and of course, great conversation. As is tradition, I began my early morning walkabouts to see what I might photograph and reflect upon for the year. The main thing… Continue reading Hello New York!
