NYC

I was lucky enough to take a short trip to new york with some girlfriends - diaper and stroller free!  We rented an apartment in Chelsea area and roamed around the city.  I've been to New York several times for work, and have seen all the touristy sight seeing stuff, so I was excited to go this time with Y who's lived there and D who's been there a bunch of times.  I got to explore the different neighborhoods (my feet were throbbing after each day of walking) and ate my way through new york.  I can't wait to go again.  Oh, and the weather was so perfect too. Not muggy and really warm.
