Vacation for the Soul

[tie-dye-mom]

I just got back from a much needed vacation in NY. My husband and I went for a friend's wedding and I decided to do some of the things that I never got to when I lived there. Here are some of the dreams I fulfilled during my trip:

1. Walked the boardwalk on Coney Island and ate a Nathan's hotdog and munched on funnel cakes
2. Went to the NY Aquarium
3. Explored the exhibits at The Museum of Natural History (I've been there before, but it was 20 years ago, and its one of my favorite places!)
4. Saw a parade on 5th Avenue
5. Went to FAO Schwartz and got to see the $250,000 floor keyboard that was in the movie Big with Tom Hanks
6. Explored the Central Park Zoo
7. Viewed the John Lennon Memorial, Strawberry Fields, and the Dakota where John Lennon was shot
8. Ate NY pizza
9. Went to my home town, showed my husband the house I grew up in, crashed a party at my neighbors, and saw some old friends from elementary school
10. Took a romantic horse and carriage ride through Central Park with my husband

We crammed a lot in, but sometimes you just need to get away to view things from a new perspective.
