49. newyorknewyork!
I was able to go on vacation to NYC for a week, and it was one of the most fun vacations I’ve taken! Maybe because B was there, that could’ve been a major factor, but also I looove New York! (and I bought a sweatshirt to prove how much I <3 NY) I went there about 6 years ago, but this time we were able to enjoy the city more and not feel obligated to do all the super touristy things. The city has so much history and character, and of course delicious food! I like looking up at the skyscrapers and appreciating (with my limited mind) the intricate and detailed architecture. The skyline is beautiful and the people were surprisingly friendly. I love taking the subway, I think it’s one of the greatest ideas ever. It is so efficient to travel from place to place there, I seriously wished LA had an awesome public transportation system like NY. Even the weather was surprising perfect the first few days we were there (75 degrees low humidity and sunny! Let’s forget the heatwave we endured the last few days though…)
But what kind of surprised me was in the middle of the trip, I had this weird desire to come back and live there. I don’t think it was one of those, “I’d want to live there if I could just eat to my heart’s content and not have a care in the world” kind of live there. It was a more serious feeling, one where I’d want to know what it’d be like to live there, with the responsibilities that come with reality. Not forever, but just long enough. If things work out, I might be able to do my clinical work for OT school there, which might be the perfect opportunity. Honestly, who knows. This could be a fleeting thought that will come and go. Maybe it’ll stick with me until I do it. If I do this, I think it’d be completely out of my character, I don’t do stuff like this. I really would be content being in socal for the rest of my life, and I’m coming to realize that this is nothing to be ashamed of. But theres something about that city that intrigues me. :) It’s exciting, I’m not usually this “adventurous” (even in my hypothetical plans hah! That’s adventurous enough for my grandma-self)
Now for some photos…
Beautiful night skyline
My parents got upgraded seats at the Yankees game and got onto the big screen!

The most delicious pastrami sandwich ever. I’m still thinking about it…
We <3 NY!
