I 'HEART' NYC

I have seen the tshirt for years and heard all the NYC craze. Everyone who has ever been to NYC loves it but wouldnt live there. Well, I have had the privelege to travel to Spain, Italy, Belgium, Colorado, Mexico, Costa Rica, New Orleans, San Fran, Charleston, Vegas, Montana, Canada, Grand Canyon, Boston and more and more but I have NEVER been to NYC. ( I had a layover at Laguardia a few times at the most). My 14 year sister has been there 3 times I think. Yes, so you might call me deprived and I'll take that.
The funny thing is I bring up this sincere derpravity at a family dinner one night at home and the next day my sweet daddy has a Delta ticket in my inbox. I love his heart and his passion to travel and see God's beautful creation. Life happens together when you get to travel to new places and see that life there too is altogether the same and yet altogether completley different.

So, Dad and the girls leave Friday a.m. for a mini vacation to the Big City....home of shopping and shows and great parades and everything hip and cool.
For sure we are going to see the Rockettes, ground zero, the Statue of Liberty, SoHo and some other hot spots. I am psyched. Personally, I want to make a trip to the Brooklyn Tabernacle (thanks for the suggestion, AB) or Redeemer Church on Sunday. I have read books by both the pastors of these churches and more than anything, I want to visit them. I may be on my own doing it but I can't wait. I love too to get lost in new cities!

What would you do with a weekend in NYC? Mind you - I am on a minimal budget these days and I LOVE the outdoors and love to walk places. Personally, I could sit at a coffe table outside with my high maintenance latte and just watch the people. But knowing travel Guide -Dad, every minute, even potty breaks are probably planned out. I like this about our trips though. He really takes care of so much that goes unnoticed but he is so great at making sure we see all the big sites and even the little quaint places that only locals can appreciate.
Sendme your suggestions. The winner wins a little face time on the blog at some point and lots of chocolate candy (no, not left over from Halloween, silly).

I am excited about the weekend with my family. I couldnt imagine anything more perfect this weekend. I'll keep you posted.
Be back early Sunday afternoon for Inside Out and Fusion.
