I put it down like NYC

A week ago yesterday I traveled to one of those cities you always dreamt of going to as a kid. The city you've only seen in movies, but wish upon every star that you'll eventually get to go someday. The kind of city you knew would change your life forever.

With that said, I had some pretty high expectations for New York City. These expectations have been growing with every year that has passed me by.

I can officially say New York lived above and beyond its expectations. Although, there are a few things I will make more time for on my next trip. I realize you can't see it all in four short days. I also realized tonight (thank you, Tracy:)) that I will see something new every single time I go. BUT, I saw so much. It really is the gorgeous city that never sleeps. My eyes were completely amazed. No, I'm not exaggerating. Every single building is unique and one of a kind. You know how they say everything is bigger and better in Texas? FALSE. Whoever created that statement obviously had never been to the big apple. I saw Central Park (and saw some VERY talented musicians there), the Empire State Building, a Broadway play with Nick Jonas (and I actually SAW Nick Jonas.. haha), Grand Central Station (aka I'm convinced they filmed Harry Potter there and on the Metro One), other things I can't even remember, AND my all-time favorite Times Square!

Imagine a little child going to Disney World/Land for the first time..ever. Imagine a little kid eating ice cream for the first time. Or, you know, when a puppy gets that happy pounce going on? Or when your dad tells you he's taking you to 3 flags (Half the price, half the fun, and half the drive). So we walk into Times Square and basically I was like a little kid. Amazed and in complete awe. I honestly think I lost my breath for a second.

I have a lot of respect for people who live in a huge town like that. I have never seen so many people and been so clueless as to where I was at all times. Also, got a nice workout in every single day by just walking.


Checking NYC off the bucket list.
Now, I just have to get on over to the West coast. :)
