NYC in June

Johnny had to travel to NYC for work in June, and I tagged along. It's been almost three years since we moved away, and it was so weird to go back. We left Sally with my sister Melyssa, and I think that's what made it even weirder. When we lived in NYC, Sally wasn't in the picture, and so when we returned without her with us, it felt like the last three years had never happened. I felt like Johnny and I were just living in Manhattan again and we'd never had Sally. It was so strange! 

It was really fun to visit some of our old haunts and to walk the city together in the evenings like old times. It was a good kind of closure for us, too, realizing we would never live there again now that we have Sally. I adored taking pictures while I was there. It's such a fun city for picture-taking. I really loved visiting, and since Johnny has to travel there from time to time, I hope to be able to visit again soon. 

While Johnny worked, I wandered about, usually ending up in Central Park. We also enjoyed some of our favorite cheap eats from when we lived there. And, most importantly, we got to celebrate Johnny's birthday the last day we were there! We met a few old friends on the Great Lawn and enjoyed some Sprinkles cupcakes and caught up. It was a fun getaway with my boy, but we were glad to get back home and back to Sal, who I missed so very, very much. If I go back again anytime soon, I'm definitely bringing Sal with me!!

And in no particular order, pictures from the trip:

 Our hotel was in Chinatown, so each morning I stepped out to this view.

Getting pics of Sal while we were gone were the best things ever.
