Our Day in The City

New York City that is!  I grew up in North Jersey in a small city called 

Garfield and my husband is from Queens, NY, right off the noisy Long Island Expressway. NYC was always like a second home to both of us. 

 Now living a bit further away we still want our boys to grow up 

loving it as much as we did and we try to go in as often as we can. 

 So off we went!

We decided to drive into Hoboken and take the ferry into the city, 

yes, home of the Cake Boss.

The line was two blocks long to get a peek inside.  Needless to say, 

we didn't get on line this time.

I love all of the old brownstones, they have so much character.  

The streets are filled with lovely little cafe's.  

And here we are, at the Hoboken Ferry dock.  The boys were so excited to take the ferry into NYC and honestly, so was I since I never took one into the city before.

The Manhattan skyline on a very overcast day.  

The George Washington Bridge which takes you from New Jersey into NYC.

The Empire State Building and the back of Mr. Country.

One World Trade Center....once it's complete, it will be the tallest 

office building in the world.

Times Square and the New Years Eve ball.

We hit all of the kiddie tourist sites, the boys just loved everyone one of them. 

Now this is every child's dream store.  There are more toys in here then 

you can ever imagine....three floors of toys! 

I hope you enjoyed my tour of NYC.  If you've never been please add it to your bucket list. It's a must see!
