New York 2007



Jim and I took a 4-day trip to New York. We had decided a month earlier that it would be a fun trip to take since all the Christmas lights and decorations would be up. Plus, since we work so much we actually have to fly across the country to be able to spend quality time with each other. I know. That's awful.

Anyway, it was a great trip. My goal was eating amazing food for every single meal. Jim's goal was to walk every inch of the city in 4 days. I think we both succeeded.
Instead of spending $700 a night on a hotel (that's what rooms were going for!) we decided to go the more adventurous way. Jim got on craigslist and found a loft that was being sublet for the exact days we wanted. It looked great in the pictures and it was in a perfect area. Score!
I was nervous that we were going to show up and the person that lives there would be found to be a cat person and we would have to share a very small loft with about 20 cats. So happy that wasn't the case. When we first drove up to the building it looked pretty dodgy. But you can never tell a building by its cover....or something like that....because it turned out to be great. New York is known for old buildings being super awesome inside. They got to work with very old buildings...that's all they got...and it's awesome!

A couple highlights: good food! had a great time at the MOMA! Found the rock we got engaged at 3 years earlier! Met up with a friend and got to catch up at a rad little bar. got to spend some good, quality time with my hubby as we walked NYC for 4 days in the snow/rain/sleet! Love my little adventurer!

The Bug Loves NYC, bitches!
