It's Always An Adventure

Happy December! It is the best time for exploring the sights of NYC. Okay, maybe I say that about every season but I do especially love the magic of this city around the Christmas holiday. The lights, the window displays, the music, the street performers, the Christmas trees, the lit Hanukah Menorahs, the food, Santa Claus peaking at you from every corner… It definitely makes the darker days and colder temps that much more bearable. This past weekend we kicked off the holiday season by heading to the NY Botanical Garden to see the Holiday Train Show. There really is something magical about the entire property with its sprawling grounds, beautiful gardens and wide open spaces that encourage exploration. The weather was perfect and the whole family enjoyed a little escape from the city or so it seemed… really we had just taken a quick train ride into the Bronx. The change of pace and scenery was awesome. The Holiday Train show is NOT to be missed, I am always in such awe when I see the buildings re-created from bark, leaves and other natural materials. Here are a some of my favorite pics from the day, I hope you enjoy them. Happy Wednesday my friends! Keep smiling through this crazy, busy season 😉
