hello, NEW YORK!

recap of yesterday :)

our flight got in to new york around 3:30 and we made it to our “hotel” by five. i say “hotel” because…well, why don’t you just take a look.

my dear father and i resided yesterday evening in the well-known and glamorous west side ymca. i’m blaming it all on the lady who scammed us out of our original plan – a beautiful apartment on 71st (doorman included). so dad grabbed the first thing he could. oh well, i got to meet a professional juggler.

one redeeming quality of the Y is that it’s one block from the hotel empire. gossip girl anyone? too bad chuck wasn’t there.

we walked through lincoln center, up and down broadway then took a subway (my first!) to columbus circle, which was absolutely beautiful. i just love new york!

had i walked the distance i did today in cs i would have been a whiney mess. but when i have such beautiful buildings all around me i stay pretty distracted. my freshman-year considerations of becoming an architecture major definitely came back.

dad and i ended the night with the other nyc tourists in times square...mildly overwhelming at first but i could have stared at it all night.

we sat on the second floor of the espn zone with dinner and a couple bud lights for over an hour watching all the screens and billboards, resting our sore feet, and filling the fam in of our incredible day. we had a perfect view.

i can tell ya right now this summer is going to be one for the books.
