NY is a must C

Last weekend, we fell in love. Our new love is loud and silent, colorful and grey, sunny and rainy, tiny and huge - it's everything! We love you, New York City! Thanks for a perfect weekend.

We were a bit nervous about our little boy's first flight, but he slept through most of it.

We arrived in the rain, but we didn't mind it. Everything was so exciting! Here is our first view of Manhattan, right outside our hotel. Wow!

This is how we spent 4 days. Samu slept almost all the time, occasionally waking up for a feeding.

Times Square

The next day was absolutely beautiful, so we enjoyed a perfect view of the city from the Empire State Building. And Samu enjoyed the highest situated meal of his life.




After this impressive experience, we really needed a break from standing in line and enjoyed a very late breakfast ...

before we hopped on a tourist bus that took us to the next sights:
the Flatiron Building (and Marimekko!), ...

famous streets, ...

pretty neighborhoods in SoHo,...

Ground Zero and Trinity Church, ...

the iceskaing rink in front of the Rockefeller Center, ...


and back to Times Square, which was very close to where we lived.

That day made everyone happy, especially Samu.

The next day, a snowstorm surprised us and many New Yorkers. But we stuck to our planned route and hopped on our bus again.

Even though it meant freezing and getting soaked, we just had to see her: Lady Liberty.


The immigration museum on Ellis Island offered great insights into the American psyche.

After more sightseeing on this long and adventurous day we returned to our hotel exhausted and freezing but happy.
