2012 Summer Vacation part 5 NYC!!

Are you sick of my NYC pictures yet? :)

This is the last of my NY pictures

 We went to Chinatown to get some screaming deals. Aaron is good at getting deals. (He has scored some awesome stuff on his trips to Korea and China) The people in New York weren't having any of it. One woman was so tired of him and shooed him away...

 the art, the architecture, the people...there's something new everywhere you look there.

 I have to make a comment about the smells of NY.

One second I'm walking and I smell delicious Churros that remind me of Disneyland. The next second, someone with nice cologne or perfume walks by and they smell really good. And then a few steps later it smells like someone is cooking poop stew on a stove. yuck!

 Little Italy. I ate a delicious pizza for lunch here...I still dream about it...

 I bought a cute cupcake necklace in this adorable store for P. This is at the South Street Sea Port

 Aaron is a diehard Yankees fan. He's hardcore. So when Steve came to our family, they were instantly friends because they're both Yankees fans. This store was located over by the South Street Sea Port, I can't remember where though

 Grand Central Station. What a breathtaking building. One of my hands-down favorites! We came here to get on the subway to go to...

 Yankee Stadium! They tore the old Yankee Stadium down :(

 The Yankees played the Angels

 The Yankees won in the 9th inning. People went crazy! 

I think my favorite part of the whole game was booing A-Rod with the rest of the stadium. Awesome!

 New Yorkers love Derek Jeter

 

Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn. See the Chrysler building?

We walked through Brooklyn

more artwork...I couldn't get enough of the artwork

Brooklyn Heights. Way cool place

a view from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade

the subway! I hadn't been on a subway before this trip.

The G train

 American Museum of Natural History

We walked across the street to Central Park to eat lunch. I had to take a picture of Aaron's trusty backpack. This thing has been on all of our hiking adventures. From the Grand Canyon to Central Park :)

People watching. Another awesome pastime in New York. This woman was pushing her little dog around in this stroller. A dog...in a stroller...

things that make you go hmmmmm...

Our last day in New York happened to be on my birthday. My cousin Chassie told me about this place and told me I HAD to go take a dance class here. I was going to chicken out but Aaron told me I had to go and Heidi said she'd go too. We took a lyrical jazz class and had so much FUN! I'm so glad we went, wish I could go back. The only regret I have is not packing my tap shoes. Next time...

I had so much fun spending the day with Heidi...I really lucked out in the sis-in-law department, no joke :)

From NYC, Aaron and I took a train to Philadelphia to see my aunt, uncle and cousins...
