Where's Manhattan??

Well, for some reason my blog post never posted this morning. It was a long one at that. Since I'm leaving for Orlando tomorrow to visit Sis and still have a lot to do this post will be much shorter. 
Ben had Columbus day off and we took full advantage! We carried on the apple picking visit to Warwick, NY just like last year. However we made a few stops along the way. We stopped at The Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park. If you didn't know better then you would think you were waaaay outside Manhattan in some peaceful park but you would be wrong. It is right here in Manhattan, up by 204th st to be exact. The Cloisters is closed on Mondays so we didn't get to go inside. This was also the case with the restaurant in park called, The New Leaf. But I'm thinking we'll be coming back up here many more times and maybe even next weekend when my parents come to visit we can sit on the patio of New Leaf and have brunch!

Looking across the Hudson river to Jersey - notice the George Washington Bridge in the background



Tree lined sitting area - there was an older gentleman whittling a baseball bat which seemed normal up in these parts



We stopped off Palisades Parkway to gaze back at our little city. I think we're in love!
