No offense to people who love big cities but on a recent visit to NY City I was struck by how much A and I have morphed into suburban dwellers. Lately we've been trying to get to NYC once a year and while it's fun to visit the "big city" we often feel like ducks out of water. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful place but we quickly realize each time we visit that while we love the big apple, it's always wonderful to head home to our Maryland enclave. We've learned to studiously avoid the subway - it's no DC Metro system, that's for sure! In September we visited on another group bus trip and decided to do a double decker bus tour, something we've never done. It was so much fun! We try to do a tour of every place we visit, and New York was no exception. We got on and off a variety of buses all day and each tour guide was as great as the last! They were all quirky, knowledgeable and funny! This is us in the front row embarking on our NYC adventure in September. Having been Law & Order fans (I still miss Jerry Orbach) it was great to see all the places around the city that filming was done. We even saw the huge Wall Street bull!
Last year we went up to NYC in the summer and saw the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island for the first time. Here's a layout I did from that trip. I use Pink Paislee Starlight for this layout. I won the July Scrapbooking Fun Challenge contest with this layout. TFL!
