On returning from our year of traveling in 2019, I vividly remember a friend saying to me that we had not only ruined our own lives, but also those of our kids. His theory was that never again would we have such great experiences and so everything that followed would be a bit of an anti-climax.
Fast forward 3 years and we find ourselves living in Washington DC and have just spent the weekend in Manhattan.
Now, I certainly hope that our kids have some wonderful experiences as they grow up, but as weekends go, for a 13, a 12 and a 9 year old, it will be pretty tough to top:
- New York City Opera performing La Traviata in Bryant Park
- Grand Central Station
- Staten Island Ferry
- Statue of Liberty
- Twin Towers Memorial
- Times Square
- Wall Street
- walking across the Brooklyn Bridge
- pizza at Grimaldi's (under the Brooklyn Bridge)
- the cable car to Rosevelt Island for nighttime views of Manhattan
- Chinatown
- Little Italy
- The High Line
- Soho
- Strawberry Fields
- Hip Hop concert in Central Park
- rooftop drinks on 5th Avenue with views of the Empire State Building
