New York - photo overload!!

Last Sunday we returned from our one week trip to New York!!! We had such a great time and I still have trouble believing we were actually there!!! What an amazing, exciting and super vibrant city that is! When walking the streets you can feel the buzz!!! We had amanzing weather, sunny and warm, the perfect weather to walk, walk and walk!!! Which is what we did!! Here are a few impressions:

The first pic leaving the hotel (so impressive!!):

Across the street was the M&M store:

Walking in the Central Park:

And everywhere in the streets you met figures like Elmo, Mickey, Mini Mouse, Grover, Sponge Bob:

 We took the ferry to Staten Island and passed the Statue of Liberty:

Okay, I'd better leave it at this otherwise the photos won't even load when you open the post!! But I think you've got a little impression of New York and what we did ... there was so much more we did and still to do, I think I could spend a year there and still not be bored!! Hope we'll be able to return soon!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs,
