New York City

Had a fun weekend touring around NYC and visiting family. My sisters and cousin Meg all flew in from AZ to run in a Central Park 5k. Morley's dominated! Unfortunately, I can't take any credit in this. I ended up meeting up with them later that day.

Thanks to Pam and her willingness to brave the Lincoln Tunnel and the streets of NYC we had a personal ride into "The City" We ventured down to site of the World Trade Center memorial. Although not completely finished I thought the memorial was very fitting. It's hard to get the true effect in the photos, but I did my best.

I personally liked how you can't see the bottom.

After the World Trade Center Memorial we made out way over to the Highline. I'd be here all the time if I lived in NYC
Old train tracks converted into greenspace : )


The views looking out onto the city from the Highline are gorgeous


After a delicious NYC lunch we made our way over towards the Village(East,West,Grenwich) Had fun, but swear we walked all of Manhattan : ). I really enjoy how every area feels completely different.

Always so much to do in NYC. Love that it's so convient for me to get down there to see the sights and course my family and friends.

Tucson, AZ

Took my first trip back to Tucson, after almost two years away. Had a wonderful time visiting old hangouts and seeing friends.

My friend of many years,Matt, got married. It was my first time to meet his wife Cynthia and even so she invited me to be one of her bridesmaids. The wedding was at Z mansion a beautiful location. Thought the ceremony and reception were all wonderful. Plus it was great to see old friends that I had not seen in years and of course meet new ones.

Saw some of the local color and interesting artwork on 4th Ave that makes Tucson unique. Definitely do not see these things in Boston!

Had fun traveling all over the state and visiting friends in Phx,Tucson,Prescott,Flag

Will make sure it's not two more years before I get back to Tucson.
