The first time I went to New York was actually right after Christmas, so we were there for New Years. But we didn't actually go out to the city to watch the ball drop because we knew it was going to be crazy packed that day (not just in times square). What we did was just go over to my husbands family home & spend it with them which was in my opinion the best!
Since the time we went was still in the holiday season you could still feel Christmas spirit in the city & ever since then I had been wanting to go back & experience it to the fullest!
We finally did & it was amazing! Very cold but still amazing lol!
The first day in the city we started by attending church at Hillsong at their first service that day & it was amazing as usual! We then headed to all the stores to do a little holiday shopping & see the famous window displays! It was pretty cool to experience how hectic these store get during the holidays, especially before Christmas! It reminded me a lot of holiday movies & although I dislike crowded places, I didn't mind to much. The hustle & bustle is real this time of the year lol!
As we were strolling by we came up to the famous Rockefeller tree which is beautiful! I really wanted to ice skate but I don't skate well & I can't be putting little Jayleen in danger so I opted out, next time for sure & with our little girl!
We walked toward central park & found the cutest Christmas market with so many cute shops & eateries! We we pretty cold & saw they were selling hot noodle bowls so we got one & it was delicious! The perfect amount of everything, especially the kick of spice, yum!
We were pretty tired (especially prego me lol) after so we wanted to take a break so we started to head to our hotel that we were spending the night at & along the way we came to cafe by Ralph Lauren & it was the cutest thing ever! Plus their drinks & treats were pretty good.
We went & rested after. Then headed to time square for dinner & to finally get a Nike sweater I had been eyeing lol. Then it was back for a good nights rest!
First day was great!
