I've never been there so it's fun to have an insider guide.<br /> The mom and pop diners are always the best (anywhere).<br /><br /> How about that wedding dress cake on the top shelf at Ruthys Bakery, amazing!<br /><br />I'm sure the 9/11 museum is quite sobering and I'd be a blubbering mess.<br /><br />Your young men are cuties. When I first looked at Finance Boys shirt I saw the Ruth first and I thought how cute is that, he's got his moms name on his shirt, lol, then I realized it was talking about that other famous NY Ruth, I might as well laugh at myself, it's good medicne! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this, I love to travel and pictures are the next best thing.Tracey Hagwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791174193265941345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-6911347908574887962014-07-31T12:05:06.480-04:002014-07-31T12:05:06.480-04:00Thanks for the look at NYC!

Your boys know where the good stuff is!<br /><br />Although why they'd choose to live in NYC is beyond me...big cities hold no allure except for the occasional visit.

Maybe it'll happen next year for RWA. And you'll be my tour guide, right, Ruthy?

But the buildings have fitness floors, some have pools, rooftop garden patios, so they try to take advantage of the height since they can't stretch out the space. <br /><br />The dog was adorable!!!! HUGE!!!!! And the museum.... I got some nic pics and I'm posting on 9/11 this year, so I'll share those pictures then because it's good to remember.... and pray.... and move on, but that's a tricky business for the thousands of people affected by the attacks. I hope and pray this museum and the beautiful surroundings start to bring long-deserved healing.<br /><br />And the boys are cute, aren't they???? Love 'em!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-20870108930023768152014-07-31T07:48:56.508-04:002014-07-31T07:48:56.508-04:00Kimmy, look at you coming out of the woodwork!!!

He'll love that, Susanna!!!! :)<br /><br />The track pack is wider in some places than others, and you have buildings on either side in some spots, and surrounded by natural gardens. There are vendors (food, arts, crafts) under the overhangs from roads or tracks or something above, and then you're out in the open again. It's an actual "park" above the city, so it's got an awesome vantage point! The shot of the guys at the seaport is in the "concrete park" down there, a riverside patio/garden they've built out into the river, so you're actually out next to docked tall ships and watching ships go by.... The financial district at the tip of Manhattan is surrounded by water, so there are gorgeous views everywhere. We didn't go looking for Zelda the Wild Turkey in Battery Park this weekend... the park is upriver from the seaport.... but I hear she's doing fine! I love that there's a wild turkey in Manhattan!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-11436879752971575392014-07-31T07:27:31.323-04:002014-07-31T07:27:31.323-04:00Thanks for the link to Holy Ground.

So much of church music nowadays is new stuff -- which is awesome -- but we're losing some beautiful traditional hymns which I think is so sad. <br /><br />You have handsome sons, Ruthy -- nearly as good looking as that St. Bernard! :-) I heard that apartments in Manhattan are small -- can't imagine what it would be like sharing one with a dog (and drool) that size!<br /><br />And the 9/11 Museum. I can only imagine how enthralling that must be. And how it would make you rethink your perspectives. Thanks for sharing your impressions while you were there.<br /><br />Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-89362300558674174082014-07-31T06:17:03.034-04:002014-07-31T06:17:03.034-04:00Poor Luke and his big head.
