We may have eaten here 2 times in 2 days. Ok, we did eat here twice in 2 days.
Day two of our adventures in NY consisted of a ferry ride to Staten Island. The ferry was a must. We saw the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline. It was beautiful and rainy yet so warm. But to be honest once we got to Staten Island, we had no idea what to do over there so we just explored a little and took the ferry back (it was free!) After that little adventure, we took the subway to find Co. we were looking around for this little restaurant for about an hour, even though it was hard to find, we ate there and it was easily the best pizza I have ever had. I wanted to go back but my mom said we had to try new places... That night for dinner we went to the famous Shake Shack. Yum I loved it. I am very picky when it comes to hamburgers but I died. their fries are also da bomb. Ok I am just going to throw this out there... we splurged... big time. this. whole. trip.
*** Here is my little tip of the day: I was always hesitant to wear hats because I never wanted hat hair. Then I read in Elle Mag that if you part your hair on the opposite side you usually do then put your hat on, when you take your hat off and flip your hair back to its normal part, it is not nearly as bad! I tried it out this weekend and I works. I took my hat on and off the whole day without looking like a napster.
Home from New York! It was absolutely amazing. I loved it there so much! By the end of each day, I would not even be able to feel my feet. I really think that they were bruised on the bottom. We did so much walking. Walking to and from the subway, to and from shops, around central park and so much more. I think that we did everything possible that you can do in ny in 5 days. We saw so many sites and found the best shopping! Sorry for the overload of pics you will see on this blog over the next few days, there is just so much for me to share!
The day we got there, January 25 was my birthday. We flew into Jersey and took a shuttle to our hotel. We unpacked our things and headed right out to the city. We went to a birthday dinner for me. I also ate my first bite of sugar in 25 days. My chocolatey chocolate cake was worth every bite. After our little dinner we walked to Grand Central Station. I read somewhere that if you talk into one of the four corners of GCS you can hear the person talking to you from the other side so for my birthday, my mom sang to me through the wall. It was so crazy! We also got Magnolia bakery cupcakes. One of many trips we took there. Once we had our cupcakes, we headed to the Empire State Building and went to the very top. It was such a thrill and almost kind of scary being all the way up there, but it was so amazing at night. We walked back to our hotel which was very close to Times Square.
Each of us is a beloved son or daughter of heavenly parents. Our Heavenly Father knows us personally and loves us (Psalm 82:6; Hebrews 12:9).
During the busy week it can be hard to stop and remember who we are. It is easy to get caught up in our busy schedules of waking up early for school to working late. On top of that, we have list after list of things we need to do. Far to often we forget who we are... We are Children of God. We have a plan. We have a purpose. No matter what stage of life you are in, God loves you! You are his Child and He is rooting for you. He wants you to succeed! This week take time to thank your Heavenly Father for the opportunities you have been given, and for the people in your life. I know that we are each children of God. He really does love you, and will do anything for you. I am so grateful that I have a family who loves me and will do anything for me! I know that my Heavenly Father is there and is looking out for us and is guiding and directing us to things that will bring true happiness! I know that I am a Child of God and So are You!
