FLEE THE COOP

There is nothing better than a vacation when your in need of a mental relief. A good vacation, even if only for a few days helps me feel reconnected. I love operating as a vehicle for self-discovery and helping my hubby, D. and I get back to feeling our best. Bottom line - taking time away from the stresses of our daily life gives us the break we need so that we can return feeling refreshed and better equipped to handle whatever comes. And there is no better place to accomplish this than New York City!

D. and I felt the need to get away, so we planned a quick 5 day trip to spend Valentines in the Big Apple and visit my sister-in-law. Neither of us had
ever been there – we had a fantastic time and can’t wait to go back to see all that we missed.

The sound of the twenty-four seven hustle and bustle took some getting use to but was a welcomed change to our silent ‘norm’. I can still hear the constant honking battles performed between the never ending line of available taxi cabs. Even so, you can’t help but fall in love with this city. As you hit the main core, the aromatic smells from the street corner vendors tempt the senses and the architecture is grand and inspiring. The entertainment options are endless and the selection for dining is overwhelming and caters to any palette.

 We had great weather and took in as much site seeing as we could during our short stay. Here's a few pictures we took along the way; Central Park, The Flat Iron Building, Rockerfeller Centre and the Zoo.
