2 hours later, we were on our way to costco, dylan had called into work and found out he didn't have any shifts and i had told him what i was thinking that morning. "well, how much? lets go. i'll turn the car around right now and we'll go get money exchanged, travel insurance and buy the tickets." and that's pretty much what we did at 12:30pm. after some errands, and dropping the dog off at my parents, we were on the 5pm bus to toronto, and then the 7:30pm megabus to nyc from toronto. my christmas dream was finally coming true!
on the bus to toronto; megabus.
lone taxi on the street early saturday morning.
i had heard of this place and when i found out we were right by it, we scooted over after breakfast. they opened at 8, we were there at 8:01 ;)
creme brulee doughnut. while it was smaller than my palm and $3.25, it was the most incredible thing i've ever eaten, i'm pretty sure.
quiet on the high line.
there was a storm advirsory, so we were prepped with our boots.
again, from the high line.
freedom tower.
the snow started.
we had to stop in at s'mac, like we did last time. i got the same one, it's just amazing.
macy's magic.
there it is!
it was gloomy and rainy, but that didn`t stop us!
a rockefeller kiss.
we had our photo taken and 'splurged' to buy it along with the frame. (80th rockefeller tree lighting)
it was a quick, whirlwind of a trip, with 13 hours total spent in the city. we arrived at 6:30am and the only issues with that was that nothing was really open for breakfast that early on a saturday. lucky that there's starbucks everywhere, we stopped in there until about 7:30, then went around the corner to malibu diner. we walked everywhere in those 13 hours; from chelsea, to the freedom tower, to battery park, to the east village, to times square, and then to rockefeller center, in perfect weather, to rain, to snow.
it may have been one of our shortest trips, but it was spontaneous, romantic, and memorable.
