4 days worth of NYC!
I'm sure you guys know I go to New York City around Christmas every year, well I'm going 4 times this year. I went yesterday, and I'm going tomorrow, Christmas Eve, and the day after Christmas. My brother bought us these city pass things for a Christmas present and it takes you to the Natural History Museum, The observation deck of the Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, MoMa, Gugenhiemm Art Museum, The Met, and I think that's it. Of course we went in Macy's/Herald Square Area. We might go see the tree, but we don't know if we have time LOL, so yeah. I'll post pics as I get them, yesterday I went to the Natural History Mueseum. I LOVED it! I've been there before, but it's awesome when you actually take GOOD pictures. SO here you go, some of my NYC adventures:

I know several of these. The big rodent is a Capybara, some horseshoe crabs, some type of grouse or maybe a nightingale, kangaroo, a sea lion and I think those birds are snowy or barn owls =/ (Yeah I'm the biggest animal nerd.) I knew most of the animals in that museum the whole time my siblings kept calling me a nerd LOL.

Awww...makes me homesick. I haven't seen that lovely whale in years. Xmas in NY is the BEST! :p Glad you had fun. Ice skating in Rockerfeller Center maybe? It must be cold there!

Wow, I just realized how stupid I look in the last picture WOW, what is with my smile xD?
Yes, Christmas in NYC is the best!! COME on down. Today was 14 degrees, but it's supposed to warm up. I went to NHM last year but I didn't get any good pics, and I just forgot to post pics of the Dinosaurs to, wow. The last time I went Ice Skating in Rocketfeller Center, was like 2-3 years ago, never doing that again. :p I fell at least 4 times.
Are you from New York City or State? Obviously, you've been to the city before. What borough are you from? I was born in Staten Island, raised in New Jersey but I LOVE new york, I wish I could live in those houses right near Central Park. I'll keep dreaming though lol...

ooh, it makes me miss the Field! I guess natural history museums all look similar inside.
-
WOW! NYC?!!! I am impressed! Jealous actually! There is not a chance I would ever get to NYC...
Those pictures are awesome and I can't wait until you post more! Those tiger pic's are frameable! Those are BEAUTIFUL!

I was born in Manhattan and raised on Long Island. I've been in CA longer than I was in NY now...27 years. But I would go on business trips to nyc twice a year for about 20 of those years. Unfortunately they were around Halloween time so I haven't done a proper NYC Christmas in years. Hard to go anywhere when you are in retail. I'd love to do Radio City again as well. Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to update..
Leaving for NYC in a few, going to the Met today and the Guggenheim to maybe. We went shopping in Boomingdale's yesterday, way overpriced LOL. Didn't buy much, We ate at ESPN zone in times square and the best part?? I got to go on top of the empire state building observatory. It was the prettiest view I've seen in a long time, really. I'll post pics maybe Tonight or tommorow. Merry Christmas Eve!! :D
