Day One- NYC

For Spring break we were able to take a week long trip to New York City. Jared participated with a non-profit group (for family and for life) lobbying at a United Nations conference. We came along to visit an old friend, Christi, and see the sites. Jared tried to find time to spend with us and experience some of New York also. Since this blog serves as sort of a journal for me-- you get the whole travel log and an abundance of pictures.

Our first full day in NY was Sunday. We arrived Saturday night, after a 10 1/2 hour drive. We had some middle eastern dinner and crashed at Christi's studio apartment. She had moved out of it earlier in the week but had one day left in the lease and a little more work to do on her "little house" before we took over its accommodations. These photos are of Christi's old empty studio. It was fun to sample a few different dwellings/neighborhoods during our trip....more on that later.


Sunday morning, we took a crash course in the Subway and found our way to church and then to Jared's afternoon orientation meeting. The boys and I walked around a little, visited a catholic church, and then hung out in Grand Central Station.
