I came back about a week ago from probably the best vacation I've ever taken. I went out to what still seems to be the hub of America, New York City. Over the next few posts, I'll bring to you some of my best vistas from my eight day trip, including my train ride to this magnificent city and my short visit in Chicago.
One of my biggest goals for this trip was to hit some of the views and locations that were less tourist trap and played better to my imagination and my extreme eagerness. I do have several shots of well known landmarks, but they are more of an accidental nature. So, Sit back, relax and have a nice trip to the Big Apple.

What was the purpose of the trip? Bucket list item?

I actually have a story for this trip. I crossed this spot off of the bucket list back in 2006, and I've been wanting to go back since. I was originally planning to drive up to Santa Rosa to meet up with some friends. Then they told me they were going up for their anniversary and were meeting up with other people. I didn't really want to party crash and I needed a real vacation because you can't really call going to Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo as a real vacation since they are so close to LA. I remembered how much I liked NYC and set my eyes on that. I'll do a write up on the other blog with the whole story with some of the train and Chicago pics.
