I went on a short girls trip to New York City with three of my co-workers Dec. 19-21. We had a morning flight in on Saturday. We were on the NYC last flight out of Atlanta. Everyone was bracing for the upcoming snow storm on the east coast.
Against my will the following picture are not in order.
After we checked in our rooms, we walked thru Central Park to the Whitney to see the O'Keeffe Abstraction exhibit.
I was peeking out my window all Saturday night to see the snowfall on the street.
We were going to tour the Empire State Building, but there was zero visibility due to the snow.
Its snowing, near Times Square!

Empire State Building in the snow!
This should be the last picture. I think my pants leg could have been a salt lick by the time I got home!
I was constantly on a latte high!
Sunday morning we walked across Brooklyn Bridge.
Central Park
Notice the snow line on the pants. I just "had" to jump in the snow earlier.
This is how deep the snow was.
I loved the creative engineering.
Our breakfast spot
Little guy playing in the snow. He/she was so cute I wanted to take it home with me.
It was some place around here that I lost my wallet. Luckily I had most of my money in other places. I cancelled my cards and prayed that TSA would let me in the airport.
I did get on my flight Monday night, with very little problems. My wallet was turned in and shipped back to me with everything inside, except the cash. Oh well maybe someone needed it more than me.
On Sunday night we did the Empire State Building tour. It was a really cool view. Here I am on the 80 something floor (82?). It was just as cold and windy as it looks.

We toured Ellis Island
We just happened upon the daily or twice daily guided tours. A retired gentleman took us through many parts of the buildings that are not currently open to the public. It was really amazing to think of the history and future of all those that come to Ellis Island.
I even posed for a picture inside the main building
We took the ferry around the Statue of Liberty on Monday. They were sold out of tickets to go inside, so we enjoyed the ferry ride and amazing views.

Waiting for the Ferry
I arrived home with no problems around 2am on Tuesday.
