Trips Down South

A few us planned a semi-spontaneous trip to New York the second weekend of December. Our friend rents a place in Jersey City which overlooks the city from across the river, absolutely amazing view. We hightailed it after work and made it there in fairly decent time. Instead of headed right to the apartment we decided to hit up one of New York's squares and see the sights and lights.

After walking around for a time we went home and caught some late night rest only to arise again and hit the city all day long. Our adventure was full of great times and there's nothing like spending great trips with great friends, who these are some of my best. A few of the highlights included Rockefeller Center, Rice to Riches, Carnegie Diner, and just allowing ourselves to delight in randomness. Oh, if you ever get to eat at Carnegie Diner - be warned, the portions are beyond huge.

We returned on Sunday, absolutely exhausted, after hearing Tim Keller preach a bit. I loved the trip and it just reinforces my desire to live in Boston - which felt like Kirksville after spending the weekend in NYC. Oh, my favorite pictures from the weekend are Puffy and Rocky and of course this sweet underground Apple Store.
