Madison’s mommy here! Sometimes you need to take a break away from all the craziness that’s going on in your life. While our Almost Wordless Wednesday usually focus on Madison’s adventures, today I want to focus a little on mine. I just recently took a break away from everything that’s been happening and decided a quick trip back home to my hometown NYC was in order. While a lot of people tend to think of NY as the city that never sleeps, the city where anything that can happen will happen, almost like Murphy’s Law, I think of it as home.

I got to appreciate NY in a way that I’ve never seen it before. In the eyes of a tourist so to speak. Let me share a few of my photos with you! Most of these were taken from the passenger side of a car but you just gotta love New York City!

After seeing these prices I will never complain about my prices anymore. 🙂 |
Being back home made me realize how much I miss the city and I will be back some time very soon!
Have you ever been to NYC and what did you most enjoy about it while you were there?
