Our last day in the Big Apple.

Monday was our last day in New York City.  We wanted to make the most of it, and the one thing we hadn’t done yet is Central Park.  We knew we didn’t have a whole lot of time, especially since the park is so huge, but we really wanted to experience the feel of it.  What better way to do that then a horse carriage ride?

They also call the carriage rides “handsome cabs.”  We found out why when we met our carriage driver, Joseph….

The views from the park are so beautiful!  It was a short ride, but well worth it.

And of course, I had to kiss the horse goodbye! (Plus, I really liked my hair in this pic! hehehe)

After our “handsome driver” dropped us off, we found this awesome little bridge and did (what else) a photoshoot!

On our way to the airport, we stopped at a little restaurant and had an Egg Cream which is native to New York.  YUM!!!!!

We go to the airport with time to spare, only to find out that our plane was going to take off late due to bad weather.  So we sat…and sat…and sat on the airplane.  3 HOURS LATER, we were finally in the air.  See the line of planes behind us when we finally took off?  I counted about 25 before I lost visibility….

Once we got in the air, we could see the reason for our delay- major thunderclouds.  They sure were beautiful, though!  Goodbye, New York!

As much as I LOVE Seattle, I left a piece of my heart in New York. What a fantastic city…I can’t WAIT to go back again!

 

I’ll end this blog with my favorite picture taken during the whole trip….My girl in her true form.  Don’t kill me, Jesse…it was too good not to share!  Love ya, hunny!!!!!
