I love traveling during the fall season for many reasons. The air feels cool and crisp. Perfect all day walking, stomping and exploring weather. The change in colors gives depth to the visual palette. And the anticipation of setting a date so far out in the year, and the delicious feeling when you finally take that trip. I savor those moments.
It’s been three and a half years since our last New York vacation. Been all around the world since. And in deciding this year’s annual trip…. we both looked at each other and agreed it was time to visit New York again.
Central Park was where we started and ended our days. We’d wake up in our quaint railroad style B&B in Spanish Harlem, drink our coffee and head out through the Park. I enjoyed those quiet mornings when it seemed we had the park to ourselves while everyone else was at work. We’d sip our coffee and chat about the adventures ahead. Always kept a loose agenda and let our feet, nose and eyes lead the way.
Here’s a few photos of those morning walks.
We'd walk for miles in the morning
Central Park, Great Mall
I had always dreamed of walking here.
And so we lingered a while.
We actually never crossed that bridge... maybe next time?
I can see we're close to the edge of the Park. Not quite ready to leave yet.
Let's hold on to this quiet time a little while longer.
ok... so we're a little hungry. Time for a donut!
I can hardly wait! 2012 will be the return to NYC.
