Our Day Trip to NYC

Hubs has wanted to take a day trip to NYC for a while. I am from the city so it isn't anything new to me, but it is to hubby, so I took the day off on Friday, to make a day out of it. Yes, hubs has gone with me numerous time but it has never been to sight see. We always have to do something, go somewhere specific, so it was due time.

We have always driven into the city but this time around we decided to take the China bus. Yes, it is called the China bus. It is $35 round trip for one person. So much cheaper than the gas and tolls we would have had to pay and we wouldn't have to worry about driving in the traffic {which would eat into our time} or finding parking. Both not fun and waste of time.

Here is a picture of me on the China bus. Hubs refused to get in the picture. Because I didn't want to seem like the crazy wife who makes her husband take pictures of them on the China bus, I decided not to press the issue but I made sure to make him feel bad about it after. ;)

Don't let this smile fool you, I am a force to be reckoned with.


I also wanted hubby to get on the subway but he flat out refused. Something to do with the rats on the train tracks. Whatever, such a rumor ;). I'll make him next time and will be sure to document it with pictures.

Our bus dropped us off at 34th Street so that is basically the area we walked around. Much to be seen there and it was fun to be a tourist actually. I use to be so annoyed growing up with tourists but now I have a sweet appreciation for them.

The first thing hubs wanted to do was see the Empire State Building. He didn't want to go inside, just see it. Strange, but that is what he wanted, so that is what we did.



Then we walked around and took in the sights.






This nice gentleman offered to take our picture so I handed him our camera. I was not worried that he would run off with the camera at all. For a slight second, I panicked because I wouldn't be able to blog about this day if he did run off, but then it quickly disappeared because I knew it meant I would be able to get a brand new camera with no questions. Win, win. Sadly, he did not run off.


I've never claimed to be ultra-cool. I'm lame. Besides hubs wanted to see the Statue of Liberty and we couldn't do it so I found him the next best thing. Best Wifey Award. I know.


More sight seeing.










I would never get tired of looking at the tall buildings


Hubby works for Target so I had to take this picture.






We both needed a bathroom break so we went to the Toys R Us on 42nd Street because of course they had to have bathrooms in there. It was like a mini Disneyland with rides and all.


They also had a Haagen-Dazs so of course I had to get ice cream. Chocolate ice cream, oreo cookies, whipped cream and hot fudge = heaven on earth!





If you are wondering about hubs facial hair, you are very observant. Every fall season of rugby, Sean's team does this weird facial thing. They grow it out and then shaved their chins. I don't even say anything anymore.


After the sight seeing we met up with Jihae for some food and some drinks.

NYC, we will be back soon. Hubs didn't even see a 1/4 of the things you have to offer.
