New York Weekend

June 5, 2012

This afternoon we arrived back in Maine after an extended weekend in New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. I am worn out and I’ve lost track of what day it is – a true sign that vacation is going well!

Michael and I both saw so much of New York City – from Queens to the East Village to Williamsburg. It had been eight years since I’d been to New York City and I was struck by how intense the whole city was. I never realized how laid back Dublin was until I saw the opposite of laid back!

But I definitely walked around the city with an amazed smile on my face – such good people watching in that city! The outfits, the interactions, the attitudes. New Yorkers just bring it.

{The Union Square farmer’s market is a farmer’s market on steroids. They even had apple cider donuts!}
{Nothing like a few blurry photos to document that I was actually in the city!}

We had such a wonderful time. And now we’re settling into Maine life for the rest of the month. I am so excited. Do you know what Maine is like in the summer? It’s all kinds of bliss. You’ll be jealous, I’m sure of it!

Until tomorrow!

    I am definitely jealous, you succeeded in doing that :). No, your pictures of New York look wonderful. Such blue sky and I am sure you saw loads of the city. Really looking forward to posts about Maine. I love having insights into different regions and towns from people who are from that place!
    Have a lovely week and talk to you soon! Yours, Thea
