One year ago today I moved to NYC… I flew out here scared, intimidated and by myself. I had to start my new job and find an apartment. Wow how time flies…. I never thought I'd know my way around, learn how to do my job or even make friends. A couple weeks later I found a place to live and Mike and Cooper moved out and slowly but surely we've learned the lay of the land and had an amazing time doing it.
Anyhow, just felt like reflecting- Wow- 1 year! I wonder how many more years we'll have in this Crazy City?
On another note,
Guess who decided to make a last minute visit to NYC???
My Parents!
They called on Sunday asked what we were doing next weekend then booked their tickets. They fly in tomorrow- Wednesday!
We are sooooooooooo excited!
Here's how they plan on spending their time here
Wednesday
Arrive at 7:30pm- We'll have dinner up in our neighborhood- probably order in- My dad loves the Chinese food place n our street.
Thursday
Mike and I have to work and Mom & Dad will take a double-decker bus tour of the city http://www.coachusa.com/newyorksightseeing/

Friday
Mike and I have to work and Mom & Dad will tour the Natural History Museum and re-visit spots from their tour on Thursday that they would have liked to spend more time at.

Saturday
We'll have breakfast somewhere fun on the Upper Westside
Then we'll head to Brooklyn! We'll walk across the Brooklyn Bridge -its a really fun activity- It will be the 3rd time I've done it.
We'll have NY's Best Pizza - Grimaldi's - It's awesome http://www.grimaldis.com/
Then we'll have a cab take us to the hospital my dad was born at and the apartment he lived in when he was just a baby before his fam moved out west.
