New York State of Mind..

To celebrate Chris's 30th birthday in December, we decided to take a trip to New York just the two of us. It was wonderful to spend some quality time together. We are so thankful that our parents were willing and able to watch Christopher so we could have a weekend away!
Let me start by admitting that I love to plan a trip-to a fault sometimes. I am usually so focused on making sure we have time to do all the things we want to that I deny us the opportunity to relax or stumble upon some neat new place.  Although I admire those that can just go on a whim, it is not in my nature to do so.
In my opinion, there are pros and cons to both travel styles. And this trip (since we have already been to NYC together) I tried to take it easy on Chris. We love good food and I think it's one of the best ways to learn about and enjoy a city. So, I made some lunch and dinner reservations and gave us the time in between meals to wander, hop in and out of a bar or two or three, and just enjoy spending time together.
