After many years of dreaming and wanting to go, we finally made it out to the big apple. We had such an amazing time, and are still quite tempted to move there. ;) We got to do everything (and a little more) on our “list of things to see and do,” and we’re already making plans and another “list” for our next trip out there. All of our friends and family had been telling us how jealous they were of us that we got to go to NYC.... it was only a matter of time before we could find out that reason for ourselves.
Here are a couple of highlights from the trip:
* Since Greg has connections, we got an exclusive private tour of the New York Stock Exchange. We got to be there for the opening bell and hang out on the floor with all of the traders. It was pretty much awesome! Not everyone gets to do that!
* Before all the tickets were sold out for every seat of every game until the end of the season, we managed to get tickets and went to a Yankee game at “The House That Ruth Built” before they implode it at the end of this season. We had such a blast being a part of baseball history! (This was of course AFTER we thought the game was gonna be cancelled because of the rain….. we were drenched when the game finally started.)
*Jen FINALLY got to go into a Bloomingdale’s and buy something. Gotta love those “Big Brown Bags!”
* We had THE best time walking all the way across the Brooklyn Bridge and going to Central Park. We went to Central Park every day we were there.
Click on the slideshows below to view SOME of our pics and to see what all we did on our trip. (Once you click anywhere on the slideshow, click on "original view" or "original size" or "gallery view" on the top right to get the pictures to enlarge. Then you can either just sit back and watch the slide show, or click thru them by the arrow at the top, or by clicking on the smaller pictures below the bigger one.) We took well over 300 pictures, so obviously we didn’t want to post ALL of them on here. ;) Enjoy!

Great pics! I'm so jealous you got to see the trading in action. Next time, I've got to go with you! :)
Ok a) I went to NY for graduation 3 years ago and very glad you guys got to go - isn't it amazing how you can be there several days and still not see everything? oh and b) 4 YEARS already?? wow kid. Time flies :-)
