Anthony & I are currently in NYC for two days. We decided this on a whim last week and here we are. Just a few from today. We went down Wall Street, rode the Staten Island Ferry, walked around Times Square, had dinner at Schnippers (great sloppy joes across from the Port Authority Bus Station), and saw Next to Normal. A few photos from today. Tomorrow its suppose to be rainy so we’re gonna do the Museum of Modern Art.
Wall Street/New York Stock Exchange
      On Sunday we headed up to NYC. We did the City Sights NYC bus tour and learned a ton of information about the city. We stopped at Central Park, Times Square, and then after the Lion King we had dinner and went down to the Brooklyn Bridge. It was a jammed packed day that’s for sure. Waiting for the train at the Princeton Junction station. This collage is a mix from our day in Philly & NYC. All are from my P&S.

Could the two of you be a cuter couple!? I’ll be in NYC in September…perhaps the Lion King should make it onto our schedule this time.

Seems like y’all had a great time! Saturday we took a break from the hustle & bustle to celebrate birthdays. Anthony has two younger brothers and they all three celebrate birthdays in the month of July (actually within 5 days of each other). We celebrated in a quiet way by stopping at Halo Farms near the Trenton Farmer’s Market in the morning, a quick visit out to Terhune Orchards, and then a leisurely afternoon seeing Harry Potter. I had never been out to Halo Farms (970 Spruce Street, Trenton, NJ (609) 695-3311), but had heard about it and even tried their ice cream before. We pulled up and were greeted by “cows” milling around on the side of the building. They were really creative in their placement of the cows, even had several around a “watering hole”. The big shocker to me was walking in and seeing the prices on everything. A half gallon of milk is currently $1.09. That beats any grocery store around here. Ice cream is buy 2, get 3rd free. We took advantage of the ice cream and ice tea. Too bad I had just bought a gallon of milk at the store two days before.

wow – they are certainly brothers! Happy Birthdays to them. Love the detail photos from the farm.

$1.09 for a half gallon is a GREAT deal! Too bad it wouldn’t make it to WA! 😀 What a good looking family!

These are great! Love the colors!

Sounds like our family with all the birthdays in July. My FIL is the 17th, the hub is the 18th and I’m the 19th. Also have sister, nephew and brother in law on 3, 4 and 9. I’ve been to Halo Farm – my stepson used to go to Rider so we know things around that area kind of well. Second day (Friday) with the Schmidt family was a day in Philadelphia. We toured Independence Hall in the morning, looked at the Liberty Bell, and hopped onto one of the sightseeing tour buses. What a great way to see the city. We stopped at the Reading Terminal for lunch and that was quite an experience.
Elreth’s Alley is the nation’s oldest residential street. Its a charming row of homes that are still inhabited today. The following few pictures are from our time in the alley. At the very end was a set of twins selling lemonade.
Outside the Reading Terminal were a group of men playing “instruments” (drumsticks on the ground, bucket as a drum, etc.) I love the guy on the very end who stared at me the entire time I was taking their pictures. Anthony, Taylor and Noah in Elreth’s Alley Grandmother and Nanny in Elreth’s Alley My handsome husband who is celebrating a birthday today! I found this vespa and wall. I loved the bright colors of the wall and the vespa. Coming up next: Time at Halo Farms and celebrating birthdays

First, Happy b-day to your hubby! Hope he had a great day! Second, I think we HAD to have passed each other! I had a shoot and used the very same vespa and blue wall by Elfreth’s alley…so cool! Third, how was the market? So glad you stopped by! It is definitely something that needs to be experienced in Philly…all of the craziness and food is fabulous!

Happy birthday Anthony!

Love the alley photos…and of course I look the vespa and blue wall. Great bday photo too.

It looks like you had a great trip! I LOVE the first two taken in Elreth’s Alley. Beautiful!

You did a beautiful job of capturing different aspects of the city. On Thursday, we did some sight-seeing around Princeton. Starting at Princeton Seminary, we got a private presentation on old bibles from the Special Collections. Ken brought out a lectern that dates back to the 10th or 11th century. It was amazing to see it in the great condition it is. We also walked around Palmer Square and then heading over to Princeton University. We checked out the chapel and other buildings. I then cooked dinner for the first time in our new place. It will definitely take some getting use to the small spaces and the issue of water not boiling in a proper time frame. I was lucky that the pork tenderloin was just right and all the fixin’s were too! Here is Anthony, Taylor, and Noah in the Main Lounge of Mackay Campus Center, PTS Old Bibles
Love this Kopp’s Bicycle Sign. Mainly because the two wheels that are here have been there for years. They are intertwined and everything. Up next, our day in Philadelphia. We are taking it easy today and then hitting it hard again tomorrow with NYC. Stay tuned all week for pictures! |
