New York City - Day 7

and this is the day my camera finally gave up the ghost! Who forgets to charge their camera battery when they are on vacation?? Usually not me, but this day I did. Today we were all about being super lazy!! We hopped on the Hop On, Hop Off bus tours and didn't hop off for the majority of the day! :) We sat and listened to the tour guides and just took in the sights. We did have to change buses at one point and the 2nd one that we got on was so full we couldn't get on the top. We ended up hopping off and waiting for another bus to come. When the next bus came, it wasn't the "right" tour, but he told us to hop on anyway. It was the most hilarious fun time we had on a tour... We were the only 2 people on the tour pretty much the whole time and the driver was originally from New York. He would randomly leave his seat, pop up to the talk to fill us in on information about New York, the section of the city we were in or just to chat - all while we were stopped at a red light. It was crazy! :) He actually pulled into one stop and told the people that were waiting that they didn't have the right tickets for the tour and that they needed to wait for the next bus to come. What?? We didn't have the right tickets either, but I guess that it was our lucky day! The guy was a treat and a half and we loved the tour he gave... especially when he started telling us "this isn't really part of the real tour, but I have to show you this..." What a fun way to end our time in New York!

New York City - Day 6

Today was all about walking, and more walking and walking some more!! We made our way around Central Park, had drinks at Tavern on the Green, took a horse drawn carriage ride and toured a bit of the Museum of Modern Arts... It was a fun day and boy were we beat by the time we were done!!
