Saturday
Wow, off to New York City and I am beyond excited! Luckily my mom was able to accompany me on this part of the tour and she was definitely amazed at the opportunity to go. The plane ride was just about 5 hours and we ended up flying into JFK Airport on the anniversary of 9/11, needless to say everyone was nervous and a little on edge to be in the situation we all shared.
21 Floors Up, Sunset
Up bright and early, we got ready for the upcoming event with time to spare and decided to take a walk around Midtown New York and stumbled upon a local diner. The diner was buzzing with sounds of the locals sharing stories from the night before, silverware clanking and all sorts of different languages and accents filled the air. I wasn’t very hungry due to the butterflies in my stomach for the class only an hour away, so my mom and I shared some fabulous blueberry pancakes and I enjoyed some much-needed coffee.
Hudson River Pier
We arrived at the Hudson River (or Riverside Park) a tad early and were able to visit the petting zoo that was set up for all of the attending children, brilliant crowd driver! I was planning on instructing three classes at this event, and while the first one went very well, the other two were dismissed due to unforeseen rain and cold weather. Thank goodness I brought a nice jacket! Since the event was closed down shortly after the rain started, my mom and I ventured over to the Hudson River Pier where we enjoyed hamburgers and live jazz bands while people danced with their kids in the rainy streets. It truly was a beautiful and freezing experience, but worth every goose bump on my body.
We took advantage of the extra night before heading home and made our way into Rockefeller Plaza and Time Square. My mom had never been to New York and I wanted her to see every part of it we could squeeze in on such a short trip. My mom loved being there, although specified many times… only to visit.
