A Beautiful Weekend in New York

High Line Park New York City Spring Flowers

Over the weekend, my Mom came to visit me in New York. Together we enjoyed two of the first nice days Manhattan has seen in months. After a couple mimosa-filled brunches, we explored The High Line and Central Park. According to my Mom’s Jawbone, we burned tons of calories with all the walking we did. While it’s sad to see a beautiful weekend end, I know there will be many more to come.

My New York in Instagrams

So I finally got an iPhone (I know it’s shameful how long it took), but this phone upgrade has truly marked an upgrade in my life.  I’ve come to realize that every time I use Instagram, I’m holding a billion dollars. That app is absolutely amazing.  If you ask me, Facebook purchased it for a steal.  Today, I walked through my neighborhood on Manhattan’s west side shooting Instagrams of my surroundings.  Seeing them on Instagram was as magical as when I saw New York for the first time.

Above you will find the Empire State Building to the left and the view from outside my door on Ninth Ave. to the right.  Since this past weekend was absolutely beautiful, I took a stroll through the High Line, a city park built on old elevated train tracks.  Here are some of the highlights of my High Line trip:
