I must say I have the a pretty creative imagination, makes people laugh and some people wonder what the hell I'm on. So with that said this is what I imagined of New York City, people being robbed in alleys, my purse being jacked right off my shoulder from some random yahoo. That's what I had in a way imagined.
So upon our journey to New York, first lets start with the flight over a body of water as we entered New York area. Adam said "I think this is the Hudson...ya know where the plane landed in the water." well thats a wonderful thing to say Adam. So until we landed I white knuckled my hand rails until we landed.
We actually landed in Newark NJ, and had to take a cab over to our hotel, they dropped us off at the wrong hotel. Which was fine never the less. What an amazing time. I never walked so much in my life. We walked through China Town and they must have zoned in on me, every singly person stopped me and of course I was acting intriqued by all of it, knock off purses, watches everything. So every 5 feet I stopped, so Adam just grabbed me by my hand and drug me through the whole the thing. He said "Erin, quit stopping at every booth, they know you won't say no that's why they are stopping you." So I just did window shopping the whole rest of the way saing no thank-you, oh that's pretty, wow! He just looked at me in pure amazement that I was in awe.
We headed of course to the fire museum and 9/11 memoral first. We got lost on the way and headed toward a building and a guy came out of a guard shack and said, ummm it looks to me as if your lost. We told him where we were going and he laughed and said well if you keep going straight your headed right into the jail. Adam looked at me and I said well "He beats me, smacked me around and is making me go with him." The guard looked at us and laughed and said Well we got an open cell just for you. HAHA So we went on our way to the memorial. The 9/11 museum was amazing, very touching. Amazing to see the things recovered from the towers. Tickets to enter the actual memorial we sold out it just so happened that Adam had a fire rescue hoodie on and an officer said "Hey bro, are you a firefighter?" So with that said we got straight into the memorial. Heavy security to get in but let me just say what a sight to see. It was very moving and emotional. The roses placed on names was beautiful. Mere silence was all around, nobody was talking. The amount of respect that was there was over whelming.
After leaving the memorial we walked straight by 10 House. I could tell by the look in Adams eye he wanted to go in, he would never say it but I knew he did. So busted a quick uie and rang the doorbell, he hid of course outside. They welcomed me with open arms and let me in. I said well my husband is outside he's to scared to ask to come in. So the guy went out the door and said hey man, you want to come in or what. The gave us a tour and let me take pics. Amazing! He was a kid in a candy store, loved every minute of it.
We walked around NYC for 3 days and had a blast. We jam packed so many things in those 3 days we were both exhausted. This being our first trip together made it even more special. Our plan is to go back some day soon and show the boys all the amazing things we seen. It truly is a sight to see.
