New York City Spring Break

I'm very confused about directions in NYC, so I will refer to the picture on the left as Central Park side and the one on the right as downtown side. As you can see, Central Park side looks less interesting and it contains smaller buildings than the downtown side. That is not the case because I spent many good times on both sides of the borough of Manhattan. In fact, I believe that both sides are unique and should be enjoyed by countless tourists who frequent these parts annually.

From this elevated point I was able to capture pictures of some of NYC's most recognizable landmarks, including the Empire State building and the Statue of Liberty. I was trying to get an understanding of the city from within it; something that no map could ever help me with doing. Tomorrow I would have the pleasure of navigating to, fro, and around the city, so I needed to learn now how to get around. This would prove to be quite a pickle of a situation, so I did my research while I was able to.

It was still only March, so we had to bundle up to combat the cold temperatures, not to mention the strong winds up here. Jenny and I were dressed up in our winter apparel and happy to be up here. As you can see in the pictures, there were 10 foot tall glass panels that prevented us from falling over the edge of this building, which was a really good thing. If either of us were to go over the edge, we would certainly be facing a 70 story freefall that would eventually result in the termination of our lives. I glad there are people who think of safety measures.

This is the George Washington Bridge that we drove over earlier today. Jenny and I have lovingly renamed it the "G Dubs" bridge in order to connect with today's youth and bring it into the 21st century.

Over the Hudson river lies the great state of New Jersey. It's not nearly as interesting as anything in NYC, but it's probably used to that by now. Jersey doesn't get nearly any of the popularity that it's neighbor does.
