No trip to New York is complete without a visit to Central Park, one of the most magical places I have ever been. It is amazing how the city disappears as soon as you walk in. It is amazing to me that there was enough foresight to not turn this prime real estate in the middle of Manhattan into highrises. Central Park is vital to the city and the wellbeing of all who live here. It is a necessary escape from the hectic pace of city life. When you see all the people relaxing and enjoying the park you realize that there is something inside of us that craves nature.
At lunch before the Park.
Sheep's Meadow, originally used as a grazing pasture for sheep.
Free Comedy in the Park. It was really hilarious! And so much fun to be sitting outside and laughing with strangers!
Strawberry Fields Forever
Sitting on a bench waiting out the shower
Bethesda Fountain
Boat Pond
Alice in Wonderland
Shakespeare Garden, my favorite, favorite, favorite spot.
After a long day at the park we decided to have dinner in Little Italy

This guy was so good. He was singing one of my favorite songs, Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
Chairs at the Highline. I love the Highline, we took a nice walk here at night and saw the city lights from a different perspective. This park is the best.
A gift from my mom <3
Mom making a list of all the things we saw and did while she was here....I think we did pretty well!
Grabbing lunch before the airport. Schnipper's Quality Food Kitchen by Port Authority is really yummy.
Saying Bon Voyage....I LOVE YOU, MOM!
