NEW YORK NOSTALGIA

I was looking for some art images on my New York CD and saw all these fun photos from my trip 4 years ago. I couldn't resist posting them to help me reminisce about them.

I have very fun memories of this trip. It was my first to New York and I was so fascinated by all the things we got to do: walk Times Square at midnight with a million other people,go see a Broadway show, walk through Central Park eating an ice cream cone, taking a taxi ride, sitting in the 3rd row for 'Stomp', taking a night-time ferry ride past the Statue of Liberty, hiking across the Brooklyn Bridge, and on and on...
But, by far, my most favorite thing about this trip was visiting the museums and galleries. It was so amazing to see all of the art in it's original state. Looking at the actual brush strokes on the canvas, being able to walk all the way around a sculpture, seeing the actual size of the work, instead of looking at it in a book. It was so amazing! I am so still in awe of the art that I was able to see and the buildings I was able to be in.

Next month I get to go to Chicago for another installment of what I like to call "Art Trips for the Needy." I am very excited and hope to see more amazing art and architecture.

Love the hair... you are right, we have the same tendency to grow and cut. I totally miss NYC. The first day I was there I thought it was FILTHY, but by the time I left, I couldn't get enough. Everyone should go sometime in their life!
