NYC – Central Park

 

I was planning on making this a picture post only for “Wordless Wednesday”, but who am I kidding? I’ve never taken part in Wordless Wednesday. Sorry, but I always have something to say ;)

 

We probably took a good chunk of the pictures we brought home from New York in Central Park. I was astounded by how massive this “park” actually is… I remember taking a stroll through it with my friends my freshman year of high school, we took a couple of pictures and thought ‘well, that’s it, we’ve seen Central Park.’

How ridiculous and naive of me…

I had to Google it just now to find the actual acreage of it and again I was blown away. 843 acres with 58 miles of walking paths, 9,000 park benches and 26,000 trees.

Whoa.

All in the middle of New York City. It seems a little impossible, but I’ve got the pictures to prove it!

 

My love and I…

 

We entered the park right next to Trump Tower.

{Any Apprentice fans out there? I know we were just a little excited to see this building!}

 

 

Entering in…

 

 

 

 

A little bride and groom having portraits taken – you know I had to snap one myself!

 

 

 

 

BEWARE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people can’t just have their picture taken. They have to perform a trick worthy of a picture instead…

Here we are sitting at the top of the little “castle” pictured above:

 

 

I H.A.D. TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS KID’S FRO!!!

Can you really blame me?

 

 

It was windy and we were trying to take advantage of it in pictures… instead of “windy” though, it just came out “dorky”!

 

 

Nick, bank robber, or Survivor Man?

 

 

 

There goes Survivor Man jumping off a cliff again…

 

 

 

This has to be the longest bench I’ve ever seen – it goes MUCH further than you can see here – maybe a mile even(?)

 

 

Is it me, or do we look like crime suspects in a lot of these photos?

Here I am, caught red-headed (!) breaking an entering:

 

 

 

 

Of course we didn’t make it through hardly a fourth of the park and we only walked by the zoo. I’ve said it once about the city, and I’ll say it again: We’ll be back!
