New York, New York

I suppose I have little inspire me lately. I am in the summer grind of life but as I look back two weeks later on our trip to New York perhaps there was more there than what I thought at the time. We were there for a whirlwind two and a half days of sightseeing, concerts and a rude attempt at relaxation.

As I was walking around NYC I was more concerned about getting lost, pickpocketed and how much further I had to trek to the next stop. What I wasn't taking in was the architecture, culture, history, stigma that is NYC and what it was like to be in that city as it was attacked on 9/11, I regret that now being home. That city is truly a world within itself, I wish I had taken the time to soak it in more, appreciating the little parts of each area of the trip, Chinatown, Little Italy, the subway, the Wall Street district, etc. Our visits to the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and seeing PJ in MSG was really amazing but to know that there was so much more to see and so much more that I missed, in some sort of jacked up way makes me want to go back and soak up more of the madness.

What I do appreciate is the time that I spent with Josh, Teresa and Colin and of course my wife. I appreciate the meals, the experience of special sight seeing memories, the chance to see PJ twice at MSG, and the opportunity to share yet another life memory with my wife. These all are important to me and I am really blessed to have the opportunity to experience of our NYC trip. No more vacations for a while, perhaps Cabo for our Anniversary in October....

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend, till next time, may the days bless you with happiness, prosperity and financial freedom!
