Mr Smith laughed at me when I said I wanted to get out of the city because we just go into an even bigger one. But what I meant was I wanted to get out of our city. I needed a change of scenery gosh darn it, even though at times I may have gotten more than I bargained for. But I love traveling with Mr Smith! & we got to see the Sittons! You just got to make good of what you got.
The traveling part is ironic because I swear 95% of frustrations begin in the car. It's so stressful.
Outside of the middle-aged couple making out in front of us on the train or the creeper bum dropping his pants, the trip was without too much liberal free love.
We are so lucky to be able to travel to such places on a given weekend. We owe so much to the Sittons for more than just housing us; we love that family!!
The first day we went Uptown and meandered our way to Time Square, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Plaza, Lincoln Center, Central Park, & Levains Bakery. The second day we went Downtown to the 9/11 memorial, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, Battery Park & Pier 17. Oh wait, that's not all: 80ish (might as well have been 1000) fantastic blocks from Battery Park to Time Square to see a broadway show. I whined the entire way, but we did get to stop in the Adidas store =)
NYC in a nutshell...
Where'd all the good people go?

I thought this old woman was sweet. But I didn't have my stalker zoom.
