NYC in Photos

Last weekend Preston and I took a trip (sans kids) to NYC. We were planning a trip to New York for our 10th wedding anniversary, but then Daxton suddenly showed up, and then Cora suddenly showed up, and we never got around to it until now (four years later). This was our very first trip without the kids, and our first time being away from them for more than one night. I was nervous about that, but they had tons of fun with Grandma and Grandpa and we had fun, too.  I will do a post with some of the things we did before I forget everything, but I am too lazy to do it today, so I am just going to post a few pictures I took.

When the kids are not around, I take a lot more pictures that don't have people in them! I always wanted to take a photography class in college but never got around to it.  I like to take photos though, even though I only have a little crappy point-and-shoot camera and not a fancy one like my sister has.  Maybe someday I will get a decent camera and maybe take a class but until then this will have to do.

A corner in the main terminal of Grand Central Station:

The doorway of the Chrysler Building (by far my favorite building in NYC and probably the whole wide world) with some taxis reflected in the glass.  Even the doorway of this building is cool.  You should see the elevator doors!  Too bad the security guys don't let you get close enough to take a decent picture of them. 

The Atlas statue across from St. Patrick's cathedral, with Rockefeller Center in the background:

Times Square in all its craziness:

Subway sign with some cool designs and clocks behind it:

The Brooklyn Bridge on a cloudy day:

More Brooklyn Bridge with the city behind the cables:

The Empire State building from the Top of the Rock.

Downtown with 1 WTC rising (cloudy again, dangit):

The Chrysler Building again.  Lurve it.  Thank you, sunshine for shining for this picture.
