Touristing with my Mama in NYC

I don't like saying goodbye to my mommy, but I had to today after a wonderful week "taking a bite out of the Big Apple". *

We saw Peter and the Starcatcher, and sauntered about Times Square...

 West Village, East Village, NoHo SoHo, made mama say, "no "Mo" walking"!*

But I wouldn't listen. We went to Liberty State Park/Ellis Island, and saw this amazing circular reflection in the World Trade Center memorial. (walked all the way there and back)

 With Mama being a super trooper now, we walked the High Line. The High Line was my highlight as I hadn't had the opportunity and it is the latest greatest park in NYC built on top of an old upraised train platform on the west side of the island.

Grand finale...you betcha more walking! This time just around the local neighborhood, and had really good eats at the Light Horse Tavern and Five Guys burgers. 

On the boardwalk up to Hoboken we passed a sailing ship in the harbor and low and behold it was the Norwegian Star! Jason and I met on the fifth deck ten years ago!

Resurrection

res·ur·rec·tion

[rez-uh-rek-shuhn] Show IPA (noun)

1. the act of rising from the dead.

2. the rising of Christ after His death and burial.

3. arising again, as from decay, disuse, etc.; revival.

Whatever your beliefs are, nature's springtime resurrection in all it's glory fills the heart as brown branches and soil regrow their hidden life within. It's pretty magical and I like the symbolism it presents every year. Rebirth, renewal, reawakening.

Here is some proof of God and Mother Nature's little miracles...coming to you from the streets of Jersey and the beautiful Liberty State Park.  

 As you can see a few lovely friends snuck into these pictures...We had some dear sweet visitors...Jim, Jon, Greg and Kristen. What fun to re-connect with them and show off our springy neighborhood!

We also saw Jesus Christ Superstar. (Act One ended the day we were seeing the show...around 2000 years ago.) It was an incredible performance.

and Leap of Faith. Is there a theme this week?

Jason is very excited about the construction FINALLY happening on the roof deck! Ok ok I am really excited too. ;)

Happy Easter to all!
