A couple weeks ago we we flew out to New York for Jeff's cousin's wedding! I had never been to New York City so I was VERY excited!
We had the bright idea to take a Red-Eye flight Thursday night so we wouldn't have to pay for a hotel.... yes it saved us money, but I'm not so sure if it was worth just an hour and a half of sleep.
We arrived at 5:30 am New York time... (3:30 our time), and then took the subway into the city. First time riding the Subway! And it was hot and smelly.
First Impression of New York City: "This place is madness. I've got to get out of here!" Talk about being overwhelmed! Yes, so I didn't enjoy my first hour or so in the city, which was mostly due to being sleep deprived, but also because the first place we went was the World Trade Center, which is pretty darn close to Wall Street... and as most of you know, Wall Street is kind of chaotic right now.
One of the new World Trade Center buildings!
Time Square!
(by this time we had met up with Jeff's family and I was beginning to actually enjoy and love the city)

The World Trade Center Memorial
It's a really beautiful memorial. Very touching.
All day Saturday was spent at the wedding. It was so fun to meet Jeff's cousins and aunts and uncles (luckily he doesn't have nearly as many as I do, so I think I got names down pretty good). It was fun to reminisce about our own wedding not too long ago, especially since we got to dance to our song once again! I was so excited when it started playing ha ha. We had a great time, and ate way too much food, but we're so happy for Heather and Jamie and wish the best to them in their new life together!
