New York, New York
Posted: September 15th, 2008 | Author: Marissa K. | Filed under: | No Comments »After eight days in the Big Apple, it’s good to be home.
Don’t get me wrong, we had a GREAT time in New York — the gorgeous food, the bustling sites, the wonderful friends, and don’t forget the Ng family — but I’m lovin’ the peaceful views of Lake Union and the marina right now.
The view from my office window. Can you beat this?
Peace. Maybe that can be the theme for my 30th year…
But I digress …
Since my sister has moved back to the United States after four years in Japan, the Ng family decided to take a family vacation. And we went to New York City! We stayed in a great set of timeshares, aptly supplied by my mother and her growing timeshare business: PrimeTimeVacations (I think she’s got a WordPress site if you’re interested). The timeshare/hotel was right in Midtown a few blocks south of Columbus Circle and Central Park. It was perfect for morning runs through the park — which we did once. (Sheepish grin)
What we did a lot of was walk around town, shop and eat. Isn’t that what any tourist does in NYC? Call it what you will, but we were no different.

And here's Nate in Madison Park after enjoying one of NYC's yummiest burgers

We had a great time hanging with family, visiting old friends and spending time together. We even snuck over to Boston for a night. When I get the pictures all sorted out, I’ll fill this out a bit more, but here’s something to look forward to: Nate and I will be back in New York for Sven and Dee’s wedding in November.
We can’t wait!
