New York was a blast!!
I could go on for days how much I loved it, but no one wants to listen to me ramble!
So I'll keep it short and sweet.
First off New York is so big that I think you would need a few months to explore it all.
But we made due in five days.

There was so much to do and see, and so many pokemon to catch, or so Jordan said!
Little side note all trip I was begging my family to get a New York bagel and finally for Sunday brunch they agreed to try it out.
We may have waited an hour in line to get a few bagels but it was soooo worth the wait.
Ess-a-Bagel blew my mind and I have been craving it since we left.
Also, we were all starving and inhaled our bagels so I didn't get a chance to take a picture of how big they are. Just take my word for it.
For anyone who hasn't been to New York these bagels should be your top priority.
Our second day in New York we decided to walk the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan,
just so happened that we chose the hottest day that summer to go.
I honestly looked like I had just ran a marathon I was so sweaty.
But it was so worth it because we got street paintings, mangoes with chili powder, and the prettiest view of the city and the river.
Thanks to my dad's friend Spencer, me, my mom and sisters got to have a girls day
filled with shopping, Time Square, and Broadway.
I had never been to a Broadway play before, so sitting front row at the Lion King
was a perfect first time.
So our whole trip was kind of planned around the Yankees vs. Red Sox game.
My dad and brother and die hard fans.
When we were having a girls day the guys were having their day.
Jordan, Cort, and my dad got legend tickets to a Yankees game.
So their friday was spent feasting on steak, lobster, and stadium hot dogs.
Their seats were unbelievable, right behind the Yankees dugout by first base.
The next day we were going to another Yankees game as a family.
My dad had bought the tickets a while back and told us they were nose bleed seats.
But we didn't care, all we wanted were cracker jack's, hot dogs.
As we were walking around the stadium trying to find out gate my dad leads us to one that says Legend seats here.
We didn't really think anything of it until we got inside and were being seated in the best buffet I've ever been to.
My dad surprised us with Legend tickets for the whole family. And let me tell you that is the way to do baseball.
All the food, drinks, and treats you could imagine. Especially the make your own doughnuts :)
And a crazy good view of the game.
Oh also, my cute sister Paige said her goal all game was to catch a baseball, and when she wants something she gets it. She is one persistent little girl.
After every inning she would drag me to where the ball boy was and beg him for a ball.
This happened every inning and she didn't end up getting one until the end of the game.
She went up to a umpire with her cute puppy dog eyes and begged one last time.
And of course she got it.
