From the Big Peach to the Big Apple

Recently, I took a trip with my Mom and sister to New York City. My mom had never gone before so this was a whole new world to her. We tried to show her everything that makes New York special and of course we did several tourist things as well.

Here are some highlights from the trip:

Mom getting ready to board the plane. 

Mom and Carrie in Central Park.

Beautiful nature in the middle of a concrete jungle.

Iconic Rockefeller Center minus the Christmas tree. It'll be up there soon though.

Can you tell by the massive drinks that we enjoyed Serenditpity3 for dinner?

We had to capture Mom's first subway ride :)

It may appear small, but that is the Statue of Liberty between Mom and Carrie. 

Tim Gunn would be so proud. We made it work and found a way to Parsons...

and then flew away on an umbrella with Mary Poppins. 

We had a relaxing day in Central Park soaking up the sights and listening to the Columbus Day Parade.

We also had to be typical tourists and stop by the Today Show. We got there in time to see Kathie Lee and Hoda interview Condeleeza Rice. We also got a chance to wave to my cousin Julie on TV!

Our trip was fast and furious. I think Mom had a really good time. We had a great hotel, ate lots of yummy foods, and enjoyed life in the Big Apple. We're planning on making this a tradition. We're thinking the next adventure may take us to the west coast or Boston!
