We enjoyed the train ride from Connecticut and loved snuggling next to each other as we traveled. Little did we know this would be the only time we would feel relaxed the whole trip.
Our arrival in Grand Central Station was a preview of what laid ahead for our day. It was like we were herded cattle and we followed the crowd. Bryce was a little nervous to ride the subway. I had to convince him I knew what I was doing, having spent a lot of time on Public transportation on my mission. He eased up after the first ride. Grand Central Station was beautiful and impressive.
Our first stop was the Staten Island Ferry, it was a fun boat ride that gave us a beautiful view of the city. Plus, it was FREE! We had fun talking with the locals.
We then stopped at Times Square, There were so many people it was a little overwhelming. While taking a few pictures we were ushered out by Police Barricading the block. So it wasn't so exciting. Then we went to the MOMA, saw some art, beat the crowds (It was free day). We were so tired from walking that we saw one floor and went to the gift shop. We bought a I (hear) New York magnet and rolling pin and then headed to Grand Central for lunch.
We had an exhausting day but enjoyed the experience and the right to say, "I visited New York once."

I'm so glad that you and Bryce got to visit NYC. It is quite an experience and I can relate about how tired your feet get. I loved that you enjoyed it so much and took in as much as possible in one day.
I love being able to say, "I went to New York once," for just a one-day-cram-it-all-in around the city. Glad you two had fun!!!
I never got to see that rolling pin! You'll have to do an entry where you demonstrate your pie making skillz.
