I’m going to use a post to brag about my baby. She is so stinking good. She did really well on most of the flights (by the end of our very last one she was soooo done, plus she had a cold coming on). Holly was lulled into submission by her stroller and napped like a Grandma. She was happy and pleasant even though she had some tummy troubles on our trip. She smiled at everybody! When we got of our plane in Atlanta and were waiting for our stroller and carseat, Holly grinned at everyone who would cast a glance her way. She was the little greeter!

New York is anything but baby friendly. Feeding her was stressful and so was finding a place to change her diaper. People were surprised to see a baby and many thought Holly was the child of Conor’s parents rather than ours. There were 3 types of strollers that everyone had and may I say that we were “in-style” with our Phil&Teds stroller. Holla.

Okay, let’s take a quick moment in a appreciation of the rather impressive subway system that exists in the basement on New York. It really is a wonder. But here’s the but, the subway is dirty and smelly. Fortunately I am able to extend my disbelief and imagine what the subway was like in it’s hay day. The stations have tiled walls and I envision them to have been quite beautiful once upon a time. However, that time has slipped into the past. Despite all the grime, the subway is still enticing and oddly magnificent.

See post below of the view from the hotel window.

Here are a few shots from the hotel window. We could see the Empire State Building from our window and it was really beautiful when it was all lit up at night.

I loved the Brooklyn Bridge. The view was spectacular and the bridge itself was incredible. It took us quite a while to walk across because there was just that much to see!

Hey All. We’re home from the hustle and bustle of the big apple and back to our seemingly quiet and kind of rural Denver. Holly has a cold and I had a truckload of laundry to do. A flurry of posts yet to come. In the meantime, to tide all my avid readers over… here’s my favourite photo of Conor and I on the trip.
