Highlights...

Here are some pictures from my trip to New York and Las Vegas. I went with my friend Carolin, who is from Germany. She was pen pals with my older brother when we were about 14 years old and she came to visit a few times and we've been great friends ever since. We both visit each other at least once a year...and hopefully I'll be in Germany to visit her next summer!

New York, I love you. Seriously. You complete me. I will move there one day!

Now for Vegas.....

{Total stranger took this shot. Pretty good I'd say}

{Our hotel in Vegas was fab-u-lous! We had an amazing view of the strip}

 {At the Venetian}

I really wish we could have gone to the Grand Canyon while we were near it in Vegas, but we just didn't have enough time. Oh well, good excuse to go back ;)

Now it's back to the real world. I am already planning my next vacation! Good night world!

The Big Apple!

Today was our first day in New York City! I am completely in love with this city. The hustle and bustle of everything makes it so exciting. Here are a few of my favorite photos of the day....

 {On the roof of our hotel - The Pod Hotel}

 {Eating ice cream in Central Park}

 {Me and Alton Brown! AHHH!!! We actually were trying to find the food network building and I told my friend Caro to ask this random guy where it was. When he turned around I freaked!}

 {Eating yummy sandwiches on the rooftop}

 {I am a HUGE John Lennon fan. This picture does not show the excited state I was in}

 {The lobby of our hotel. Love the wood walls/ceilings and those lamps!}

{Adorable old man reading the paper on the subway}

I will be adding lots more soon. Off to bed now. Big day tomorrow!!
