The Coyers and the City...the adventures continue...

Greetings from New York City!!! As part of the Coyer's whirlwind tour of the Northeast we are happily in New York. Having only been here once when I was 10, I was so excited to experience this city as an adult. After just a short 4 hour drive we found ourselves smack dab in the midst of this amazing city and immediately started walking around. We stayed in a beautiful hotel in the financial district and for the next 2 days proceeded to walk our little feet tired in an attempt to see everything we could. We can definitely see why this is such a beloved city. Todd and I spent most of the trip daydreaming about how fabulous our lives would be if we lived here. Of course we would have to figure out how to grow a money tree but hey a couple can dream right?

Our view from our hotel window. Gorgeous.

Ground Zero. This picture was taken from our room on the 37th floor as our hotel was literally across the street. This was a very surreal experience. So many thoughts, emotions, memories and feelings come to mind when looking at this.

We stumbled across a cute bar called Mudville9 on our quest for dinner. They sold these towers of beer. We stopped.
Umm, honey the camera is that way.

Time to start sightseeing! On the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

Hanging on a rock in Central Park

After walking 6 miles to get to Central Park we decided to lay down on our little rock. We were pretty comfy. The sun was out, you could see the skyscrapers through the trees, this was a little slice of heaven.


After Brian and Sandra peeled us off our rock we went on a carriage ride around the park. This was really cool.

Riding around.
Good horse.

I am so glad you enjoyed your trip to the City! I just love NYC. I can see why some of my friends from college wanted to move there after graduation.
