NYC baby!!






 *My first NYC hotdog from a street vender!!






 *At one of the cathedrals that we went to. I feel bad about not knowing which one but we went from place to place really quickly so I have some excuse!

 *Mural for Lennon after he was murdered. Stands for so much more than just that, though. So symbolic.
 *In between these two light poles is where Lennon was shot by a man that he had given his signature to a few hours earlier.

 *the night after we attended this show we were granted a backstage tour by one of the main actors. he was so nice to do so and it meant a lot to the aspiring rag-tag group of theatre kids:)

 *Me inside Radio City Music Hall's women's bathroom. So fancy and luxurious!


 *Murals inside the women's bathroom!














 *Rockette costumes through the ages. I almost died.

 *Lemon cupcake that I thoroughly enjoyed! Bought at the cutest little shop:)

 *Shirtless Hollister models that legitimately get payed to hang outside the shop! I am not a Hollister girl but this brought a smile to my face!
 *:D
 *Outside the New York Public Library! Never actually went in despite my yearn to...


 *Me eating an NBC studios lollipop while riding the luxury bus that we were fortunate to ride for the week.

Ahhh my week or so in NYC... so much happened but mostly I fell in love with the place...I didn't take many pics because I was trying to soak it all in in the short amount of time that we spent at each location, but now I regret not doing so! Ah, well. I'm certain that others will put theirs on Facebook so I will survive. The moment I stepped out of the airport and inhaled the exhaust that arose from the taxis that dwell there, I knew that New York City was a place unlike any other I had ever been to.  It had a sort of busy magic encompassing it. There were people everywhere. Endless amounts of people as far as the eye could see. People with accents, people who spoke other languages, people trying to sell you things, people talking on phones, people biking, people walking, people weaving through the crowds, people smoking, people saying goodbye, people saying hello, people just living. It was a beautiful mass of people. We got so much done each day- moving from place to place super fast, waking up early, getting to the hotel late, cramming as much into the day as we possibly could. My regrets: not taking enough pictures, chickening out on spitting my gum off of the Empire State Building, and not going to the Savage Beauty exhibit at the Met. Museum of Art. We got an average amount of 5 hour of sleep a night, and by the end of it all we were ready to drop. Also we ended up staying a night in Kansas City Nebraska because of the weather. It's funny, you know? The unexpected things that happen and the funny places you end up. It was the adventure of a lifetime and I am so grateful to have experienced it with such a wonderful group of people. I got home around 11 am yesterday and after sleeping for 18 hours straight(well, almost straight. I got up to eat of course;)) I made a list of tasks to accomplish today. I felt as though I needed to do so because we finished so much each day in NYC that I felt that I had to continue getting stuff done in a timely manner back home as well. Hopefully I will be posting outfits up soon! Traveling left me with comfy boring outfits so they weren't worth posting. Anyway, it is fathers day! I have to go soon to visit him and give him his gift (a The Office magnet from NBC studios!) quickly because then we are going to get flowers and stop by my grandfathers grave and be home by seven when one of my besties is planning on stopping by. Ciao for now-
