New York!

So this one time I went to New York City for a week with my sisters and zero children and I took no pictures at all. aside from this gem:

It was a great trip though. I will tell the story through internet-pilfered pictures.

Here are the pants Steph bought me at 10 pm my first day because I didn't pack pjs. That is my slim, post-baby bod.

 This is the show we saw. After listening to the CD for 7 years now, it's about time I saw it.

China town. Illegal street vendors, cheap merchandise, $5 sunglasses... what more could you want?

The MoMA. Lots of modern art that I did not understand. Also lots of great not-so-modern art. Starry Night, Picasso's Three Musicians, Persistence of Memory... lots of others.

Definitely utilized the public transportation system.

Wandered through Grand Central Station. Really pretty!

Discovered I didn't know a thing about makeup (and I'm almost 26!) so took advantage of my sisters' advice and expertise and bought a new supply

Took my time browsing in a used bookstore. It's been a while since I've done that!

Spent a lot of time walking the streets at my leisure. Simple pleasures.

Came back home to these guys (pretend that boy in the corner is Elinor. I couldn't find a pic with all four).

Alright, alright. Here she is. I do love her.

 But she has thrown up twice today and had a fever of 103 and I am going to be late for her doctor's appointment if I don't go now.
