Studio M: New York!

A weekend in New York! Nothing more fun than a last minute trip that you plan the day before leaving! My 10 year old son, Dylan, wanted to see the Ripley's Believe it or not museum in NYC... so we packed and left Friday! A friend of mine (Janet) and her daughter came with me because that's the kind of friend I have... she drops everything to come have a GREAT time with us :-) I don't like planning... and although I understand it's an important part of some aspects in life, I feel that too much planning leaves me stale. There's nothing like picking up and leaving on a whims notice... saying yes let's go! This was an amazing weekend! New York is definitely the city that NEVER sleeps and I REALLY found that out as I drove into the city at 1:30am and there were 30 cabs around me and a very scary bus. I felt like I was in a video game, trying NOT to crash into anyone... dodging the "cabs" and the scary monster bus! Ha!
We saw the statue of liberty, went up the Empire State Building and laughed a while lot along the way. It was COLD and WINDY but so fun! Here is Dylan, Christina, Me, Janet and Katie!

The statue of liberty was everywhere! So cool to see these people! I love to see what people do, their imagination and creativity!

Got to love the tiny cop cars in NYC..... heck, anything bigger they would not be able to park!

Now do you see what I mean about the cabs? There's 9 cabs for every car! AND they drive like maniacs! Believe me I took about 15 of them!!! LOL

Really cool to see NYC lit up!

Had to take a break from the hustle and bustle! My son took this image of my friend Janet and I! I have taught him well! Photography tip of the day: If you want to flatter people and not create that "double chin" some of us have in pictures... avoid it by shooting from above! He did just that :-)
