Postcards from New York City, vol. 2

I'm wrapping up my NYC-related posts with the second volume of photos I took during my mom's and my trip. On the last couple of days, we woke up bright and early in order to fit in as much as possible (and to get to the main sites before they got crazy crowded; I highly recommend doing the Statue of Liberty as early as you possibly can!). We were lucky to have gorgeous weather, even though it was a bit chilly and windy at the top of the Empire State Building! (I kind of felt bad for the tourists in their tank tops and shorts...)

All in all, we had a fantastic time in the city, and I'm looking forward to the day I can go back and explore even more! :)
