my fave place...

we are on our way home

from my fave place.

we had four

days in new york city

and it was lovely.

we did tons of walking

around and popping

in and out of random places.

there were a few spots

that we wanted to visit

that were "touristy"

but, other than that,

we just explored.

here are some pics from our trip.

we finally visited the public library.

the last time we went,

it was under construction

and you couldn't go in.

it was quite per-ty in there.

we also visited grand central.

pretty cool.

we went to the 9/11 memorials.

the last time i visited

ground zero

was with my mom about

a year after it happened.

it was intense and very heavy.

we both sobbed the whole time.

this time, it was a different

experience.

the memorials 

are gorgeous

and huge and have a huge impact

on you while looking at them.

the feeling there, however,

is one of peace.

i'm glad we got to see those.

we also went to the photography

school and checked 

out the museum area.

i loved that and got

some great stuff from the

gift shop.

one of my most favorite things

to do on vacation, anywhere,

especially in new york,

is to look at store displays.

new york definitely does it big

and i always leave feeling super inspired.

it makes me wanna make

or decorate something.

i plan on sharing two more

posts from our trip

dedicated to my two most

favorite spots this time around.

so stay tuned.

we had such an awesome time.

i always leave this much

time with the boo

feeling so connected.

we needed that.

we have regrouped

and are ready to face the nightmare

that awaits us at home.

lol.

we have decided to leave

everything packed and just 

store it until we figure out

where we will live.

i will go crazee

with bear walls and

no decor but boy will i 

be juiced up and ready

when our house comes along.

hope you all had a bomb

diggity week.

happy weekend!
