Two weekends ago my summer officially started when I flew up to NYC to visit my sister. The Turner and Story girls had talked about taking a trip up there this summer, and I was so excited that our idea actually turned into a reality. :)
When we got there on Friday, it was absolutely pouring. Our cab ride from LaGuardia took a while and since Amy and Julie were staying at a hotel about a mile from Dales' place, we just decided to do dinner separately that night. After catching up in Dales' apartment, Mom, Dales, and I swam ran down the street to a Chinese place we had gone to the last time and got some delicious sushi and wine.
The next morning we grabbed Starbucks (of course!) and headed toward Central Park. The rain had stopped, the sky had cleared up, and it turned out to be a gorgeous day. We met up with Amy and Julie in the park before heading back to Dales place to shower and get ready for lunch and shopping.
Around five we met up with Amy and Julie again at Pier 82 for a sunset cruise around Manhattan. I've seen a lot of the touristy sites in NYC before, but this cruise definitely takes the cake! It was such an awesome way to see the city, and we got so many awesome pictures from the water. I would definitely recommend the Circle Line Harbor Lights Cruise if you are visiting the area any time soon! And we ended the night with a fun dinner at an Italian place near Times Square before walking back home.
Our last day was spent enjoying the beautiful weather. Mom, Dales, and I ate brunch at The Smith and then walked around and did a little more shopping (surprising, right?). That afternoon Julie and Amy came by to see Dailey's apartment and then we ended our trip by meeting up with Pat for a great Italian dinner at MiMis.
We had the best time and I just can't express how lucky I am to have such a great mom, sister, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. Where's our next Turner/Story girls trip?? ;)
