A Little NYC…

Good Morning,

I can’t believe that it is Wednesday already…. I am still trying to get back into my routines. It’s going pretty well. I did a lot of housework the last two days. I got a few more things uploaded to my Poshmark closet. I went thru my closet on Sunday and got rid of a few things.  I also dropped off my tufted stool at my new upholster! He is so nice. I am hoping that this will be the start of a beautiful friendship! Lauren starts school next Wednesday! I can’t believe it. It will be her senior year. My husband and I can’t wait to stop scheduling our lives and vacations around her school schedule. We are looking forward to the freedom! 

Speaking of vacations, I thought I would share the first part of our vacation. We left here Saturday morning and ended up staying with our good friends in New Jersey until Monday morning. They have a beautiful house. I was especially loving their floral garden and snapped a few photos.

Lovely aren’t they?

 

 

So peaceful and tranquil. 

After getting up, sitting in the sunroom to read, and eating some breakfast, we headed into New York City.

I am so torn about New York. I love that it has some many things to see and do and that is another issue that I have with it. There is SO MUCH! I try to pay attention to everything and it’s hard. I did notice this beautiful building. This caught my eye very quickly.

We walked around so much that day. My stepson joined us on this trip. He is taking architecture in college and loves capturing all of the buildings. I think he uses them for his future projects.

 

 

We went to an area called Chelsea and we looked around. We also took a walk on the High Line. Our friend Marc took us there. It’s about a mile and a half and is a nice treat in New York. It had plants, flowers, and you get to see some wonderful buildings. 

I also spotted this beautiful hotel called the Highline Hotel. I could not pass up taking photos in front. They also had an elegant cafe located in the front.

Now how fabulous is that? I LOVE this photo! I wore my Sarah Flint Natalies the entire time! Super comfy and super chic. Don’t forget to use my $50 off discount code: SARAHFLINT-BASMSSHOCKLEY on your first purchase!

Above all, it was a wonderful visit to New York. Another place we visited was the original Ralph Lauren store. I can’t wait to share it soon! Enjoy your day!

    I have a special place in my heart for NYC. So many memories. Growing up in Massachusetts, NYC was an Amtrak ride away. Always take that express to Grand Central Station or else you’ll stop in every Connecticut town known to man, lol. There are daily trips. We went often. It’s a melting pot for sure. The museums alone will take a few days and the botanical gardens is stunning. I’ve always enjoyed the Bronx Zoo. Glad you guys got to spend time with friends as well. Your girl will be a senior in high school? That’s exciting Mrs Shockley. It’s going to fly by. Soak it in. Prayers for a safe, joyous senior year for Miss Lauren???

      I love Grand Central Station. It’s beautiful! I haven’t been to the Bronx Zoo. I’ll have to add that to my list. I have been wanting to see a show on Broadway. I hope I can in the future!
      Thank you for the prayers! We need all we can get.
