New York Day 2

Day 2 started with letting Lisa sleep in. After a long day yesterday, we didn't have anything planned for Day 2 until late morning. We got started around 10am with a trip to Pick a Bagel up on 53rd and 8th. We had been wanting to make sure we got a real New York Bagel, and we did. Much less dense than the bagels we've been getting in Tennessee.

I had an appointment to meet my counterpart at the Midtown 45 Wyndham Resort in New York, so we decided to walk there instead of taking an Uber or a cab. It took a little longer than I thought, it was about a 25-30 minute walk. If it had been a little warmer, it would have been more pleasant, but even with the chilly temps, it wasn't that bad. We enjoyed seeing the different buildings in the midtown area.

New York Day 1

A week from tomorrow, I will be arriving in Daytona Beach to start our new life there. It is kinda silly that we would be on vacation now, but here we are....New York City! We have talked about going to NYC for many, many years, and never made it closer than a layover at the Newark Airport in 2014. We decided, well before we knew anything about Daytona, that we would go on vacation in April (I would have preferred May, but it was pushing it with our 3rd grandbaby due May 15). So here we are.

Who would have thought that on the 9th of April, there would be a chance of snow in New York City, but here we are with a cold rain and threat of snow. It doesn't matter though, it's New York.
