Day 1

Ok, so first day of vacation! :) Our flight was at 2:30 and we left Columbia around 10:30. Liz's mom drove us to the airport which meant we didn't have to pay for our car to be left there all week. Yay! :) We made it through security without being pulled aside to be checked. What a relief! ;) Not that I have anything to hide, but you've got to admit, it would be a little freaky. :)

Here we are waiting to board our flight. We were very excited. :) But of course, you could've probably guessed that. ;)

Waiting for our turn behind a long line of planes. We probably waited 3o minutes waiting for our turn. As you can tell, I was very bored... What else are you supposed to do when waiting to take off? People might get upset if I stared too much at them wondering what their story was, so I figured I was safer looking at the planes taking off. ;-)

Liz really did like the gummy worms, even though it looks like she's upset with it. :)

Flying into New York was awesome! I would've loved to see it during the day, but it was gorgeous at night with all the lights.

What a pain it would be to have to drive that every day! Yuck. We were driving out of New York around 9 and it was still packed with traffic. It's definitely the city that never sleeps.

The runway was so close to the water that it almost seemed like we were going to land in it. :) It makes for a cool picture though even if it's a little blurry.

The Empire State building. As you can see I was trying to take this picture while in the car.. so it's not perfect, but I still like it. :)

This Macy's was HUGE! We drove past and it seemed to never end! Pretty amazing that they would have enough stuff to fill such a huge building.

I love how this one turned out. It's so pretty and the reflection in the water is cool. :)

The background is a little too blurry, but it's a good picture anyway. :)

And that is the end of day 1. :)
