I went to New York City last week on a school field trip.  For real.  The “kids” were 40 something senior military officers and their spouses.  Yes, there were academic type things to do during the day but afterwards, well, let’s just say we rocked it.  Much of the coolest of the cool parts of my trip had a NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED caveat…like my tour of NBC Studios (awesome), or seeing Once, or The Glass Menagerie on Broadway.  Double edged sword because I could relax and not worry about capturing every moment on “film” but sad because now I don’t have every moment captured, except in my memory.  Here are some of the prettier moments that were allowed…

Macy’s was the first building in the world to have the modern day escalator (1902) and here it is.  It’s all wood.  That’s my husband’s leg and I don’t know why it looks like he has just one.

The subway is cool. And, yes, I am a tourist.
