on saturday, i took a trip to nyc with my parents. the weather was absolutely gorgeous and we had a great time exploring the city. we started our day out with lunch at the meatball shop in hells kitchen before going to see the new broadway musical bandstand. after the show, we headed downtown to walk across the brooklyn bridge. we worked up an appetite walking across the east river, so we grabbed pizza for dinner right under the brooklyn bridge at grimaldi's. we admired the views of manhattan from brooklyn bridge park before boarding a water ferry to cross the east river back to manhattan. before we headed home, we made quick pit stop in carlo's bakery to pick up a few treats to take home.
our trip was totally unplanned and was a last minute decision, but everything went great and we had a great day in the city. here are some pictures from our day in the city on saturday . . .
^lunch at
the meatball shop was so good. ryan and i ate at the west village location
last spring and we absolutely loved it so i was excited to take my parents there. i love that they have vegetarian meatballs, they're so good!^
^ever since i saw the first teaser for
bandstand i've wanted to see it. it just opened this spring but is already closing in mid september. i'm so glad we got to see it before it closed. we all loved it!^
^i spy the statue of liberty off in the distance. ryan and i have walked the brooklyn bridge twice before (
in 2013 and again
in 2015), but my parents never have, so it was nice to be able to do it with them. it was a bit crowded since it was a saturday in august, but the weather was beautiful and the views were great so we didn't mind.^
^after walking across the bridge, we stopped for pizza at
grimaldi's (which i totally forgot to take a picture of because we were all so hungry we scarfed it right down). we strolled around under the bridge and admired the view of manhattan from brooklyn bridge park. jane's carousel is so pretty too. it was closed on saturday evening for a private party, but i'm glad ryan and i had the chance to ride it
a few years ago.^
^the east river ferry is a nice way to travel back to manhattan instead of via subway. ryan and i rode it
a few years ago, and enjoyed it. it was especially pretty with the city lit up at night (but very windy)!^
^before heading home, we made a quick pop into
carlo's bakery in midtown to grab some treats for ryan since he couldn't come to nyc with us. he was grateful for the treats!^
love, laurie

That sounds like a fun way to spend the day and the photos are pretty too. That is a cool-looking bridge.
That sure was an unexpected day. When I woke up in the morning I never thought that we were going to spend the day in NYC. It was a great day all around and especially sharing it with you. We enjoyed everything we did and we sure did quite a bit.
