New York City...drowns a "city" like Seattle. It completely redefines your definition of a city, but we really enjoyed our time! We stayed for 5 days with Craig's cousin Jared in Jersey City, NJ, just right across the water from Manhattan. They were two stops away on the Subway from being in the heart of the City, so we had a fun time exploring!
Jersey City is a great angle to view Manhattan and the new World Trade Center...
We spent several days just walking, seeing sights like the Brooklyn Bridge...
Or just a beautiful view of Brooklyn from across the water in Manhattan...
We had a few nice surprises too! We found out some friends from Moscow were visiting their son and daughter-in-law in Jersey city, and were only two blocks away from Jared's apartment! It's always fun to catch up with friends on the other side of the country!
We also ran into some friends from the hospital we worked at in Seattle. Francis and Katherine were visiting New York the same time we were, so we met up for lunch one day in Manhattan!
We headed out right before the weekend for a tour of New England. Hard to believe we're over 2/3 done with our trip!
