Alfonso and I wanted to take a mini trip together before the baby was born (I hear you don't get out much after that) so we booked a day trip to New York City! We caught a bus in Baltimore at 6:30 a.m. and showed up in NYC around 10:00 am. I was a little worried about being severely uncomfortable on the bus and running back and forth to the bathroom for the full 4 hours of the trip-- but none of that happened! I was 100% comfortable! It was magical...
As soon as we got there, we headed to catch a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. For your future reference: An all day pass on the subway: $8, dr. scholls shoe inserts for the long walks: $13, a ferry ride to Liberty & Ellis Island: $12.00, and a delicious lunch for two at Cafe Liberty: $20.00-- and it is all so worth it! We had a great time and the weather actually worked in our favor! Not too cold, not too hot. We were complete tourists and saw Ground Zero, the bull statue in the movie Hitch, Wall Street, Chinatown, and Times Square. Making a deal on faux Guess and Coach purses with the street vendors is a must if you ever go!
Last but definitely not least, we met up with Hyeku! She took us to a really neat Garden Exhibit, and before we knew it-- it was time to catch our bus home.
Wow, this really looks like a fun day. I grew up in the east, and have most of my extended family living in NY, and can you believe I've never been to NYC? I loved your price list! I'll have to print this post and save it for the day we decide to actually check it out.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm surprised- you didn't go to Times Square, 5th Ave, Central Park, or check out Tiffany's? Next time- with the stroller :o)
Fun! So glad you were able to go on a little gettaway! You will look back on that trip with fond memories and both think, remember when it was so easy to just up and leave? Yay carmen... baby is going to be here soon!!! And then me!
