Decided I'd start off with a list of firsts for me.
1st time I rode in a taxi. It was disgusting.
1st time I rode the subway. Not much better. ;)
1st time I saw the statue of liberty. Smaller than expected.
1st time I ate a macaroon. It was good!
1st time I heard Tim Keller speak live. He was good, but I was way too tired to truly appreciate the experience.
1st time I'd been to a wrap party. Fun. Interesting group of people.
There are many others, but mostly with regards to the places we visited.
I think my favorite place was the Upper West side. So eclectic and cute. The buildings were just beautiful. We pretty much just shopped the whole trip, which was Just fine with me! We ate at some really fantastic places and I would say that, maybe, would be the thing I miss the most. Only because shopping online makes travel unnecessary. I took 8 pictures...all of buildings and the statue of liberty and one of central park. Told you I'm bad about it. If you want to see NY though, just google it. That's what it looks like. I will miss being able to just walk everywhere though. I didn't feel the gross "I haven't exercised in a couple days" because we were booking it all over the city.
It's nice to sleep in my own bed though. I'll say that. Welcome back to Memphis, welcome back to life. :(

Wow! So glad you finally got to have all those firsts! You guys didn't travel a lot as kids? I will say that when I heard Tim Keller live, I was too young to appreciate it. It was in the earlier days of his life as a pastor and it was while my brother was at West Point (NYC is about an hour from there). . .So I have done all those firsts except eat a macaroon. Maybe I should get around to that one at some point =) Glad you had fun!
O wait -- I've never been to a wrap party either.
I had been to NY before...but I didn't use NY transportation then. I see now that it was a privelege. :)
