Last Weekend in NYC!

OH NO!
Our time is officially up in New England!!

For our last "fun weekend" (before our packing weekend) Jason and I wanted to go out with a bang in NYC...


We decided we had to go to a hip, famous restaurant before leaving...  
We were deciding between Cipriani's and Balthazar...
Obviously we chose Balthazar and crossed our fingers that we would get in!

Based on advice from Uncle Mark and Aunt Mary, we didn't make reservations...
they told us to just show up and wait...
Surprisingly we made it right in!
I think because there was only 2 of us...


We were there early so decided on yummy pastries...


And of course cheese!  The restaurant was beautiful and very authentic!  Brought back memories of our honeymoon in Paris!
No celebrity sightings though! :(


After brunch, we made our way to our "farewell to New York" activity...

A sailboat cruise!
Yes, we are that fancy!



Here is the boat, a beautiful old clipper called Shearwater...


It was a beautiful day and it allowed us views of Manhattan that we had not yet seen...



Then brought us right out to the Statue of Liberty!
It was incredible!
I highly recommend the sailboat cruise over the Circle Line...
It was very intimate, and was one of the most relaxing days we have spent in NYC!

Goodbye New York!

I can't believe how much we have seen in New England!
These past 3 months went by so fast and we have seen more than we ever expected and
I am so happy I have this blog to look back on all the wonderful things we got to experience...
Although most of the things we got to do I will never forget.

Jason and I continue saying to each other that this was the best decision we have ever made to take this leap and travel this country.  It shines a whole new light on our lives and we have appreciated ever minute!

Before signing off in New England, I had to take a few pictures of our
"weekday life" in Stamford!


Here is our apartment with Dwight and Stanley out on the porch!


Our view of the hospital garage!  Yes we were that close to work!


Here you can see the hospital and the windows into the gym..
Which is where we worked!
It was a pretty nice commute, I have to say!


-Packing up to go-
We literally had a bed, a futon and a kitchen table for 3 months.
It was like indoor camping!
However, we barely noticed since we were out enjoying the sights every minute we could!

Ok, here is my last "Current Location" from New England!
Next stop, CALIFORNIA!

Current Location:
Stamford, CT
