New York State Of Mind

Vacation day has finally arrived! We have been planning this trip for almost a year. My brother (Tony) moved to Boston a couple years ago, so we visit once a year. (Wish we could do it more often, but having jobs sucks sometimes haha) Along with him, my sister-in-law (Jennifer) who I adore, my nephews Noah and Jake and my niece Sophie. I miss them SO much but I really am quite excited they moved to such a cool part of the United States. My mom, best friend Emily and myself boarded the plane in Nashville on May 22 and flew to Boston. Thus beginning our 9 day vacation. We spent five nights with my brother and sister-in-law. We got to see my nephew Noah in a little Memorial Day skit at his school, we got to see him play some baseball, I got to hang out and just talk to Tony and Jennifer, go to the pool, shop at my favorite outlet store and Tony took us back to Maine. I am in love with Maine. One of the prettiest places I have ever been. But mostly in love with their Clam Chowder!

My mom, Emily and I went to Boston on the sixth day to spend some time there. The city is so cute. I loved being there and it was an absolute beautiful day. We went to Boston Common and also got a beer and lunch at Cheers :)

That night we met up with Tony, Jennifer and Noah to see the Red Sox game. Fenway is the most amazing place on earth! I fell in love. They did not win, but it did not even matter. One of the best nights ever!

After Boston, we took off the next morning on our train ride to NYC, where we would be spending the next three nights. In NYC we had SO much fun. We did a lot while we were there: we took the tour bus around to all the big sites, took the NBC studio tour, went to the Met, took a carriage ride, ate at Bobby Flay's place Mesa Grill, went to Serendipity, played at the wax museum, saw ground zero, went to see Sex and the City, walked Time Square, had brunch on the Upper West Side...we fit in as much as humanly possible!


Literally the best dessert ever....the Frozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity (yes, like the movie)

I of course had to buy myself a little present :)


Well, that was about the whole trip but I have to put a couple more pictures up of my beautiful Sophie and handsome Jake.


Sophie Bear!
