THE TRAVELING TOTE IN NYC & A GIVEAWAY




The NYC Adventure




Welcome to another adventure of The Traveling Totes. 

Today we have a new traveler,  introducing our newest member, Jacqueline from Purple Chocolat Home. Welcome Jacqueline!

My husband and I have been traveling around our state of Alabama and to Atlanta visiting with friends and family but today I am sharing the trip we made to NYC. Autumn in New York is simply beautiful. The weather was unusually mild for this time of year, warm days and cool evenings. Not a drop of rain or a cloud the entire trip. Sharing a lot of photos today, hope you enjoy.





Home away from home was the Park Lane Hotel
Great for its proximity to tourist sites, restaurants and shopping.






Rockefeller Center
Ablaze with autumn color






Of course Miss Courtney was along for carrying any packages





Plenty of window shopping
Connor would have loved the Lego store







Friday evening meeting up with TTT members

Visiting St. Patrick’s Cathedral
A Neo-Gothic-style Roman Catholic Cathedral Church









The Morgan Library and Museum

Illuminated Bibles, literary and historical manuscripts; early printed books and old master drawings and prints.
My husband Jim visited the library while I met the TTT girls for brunch. I really have to go here next time, Jim says it is a must see!







A quick lunch for Jim

After brunch we walked to the MacKenzie-Childs shop for shopping and a little party of cake and champagne. 












Miss Courtney needed a little break




Saying good-byes to friends!




Jim and I decided to visit the Empire State Building. These shots were snapped at the open-air Observation Deck.

































And, a little more shopping

Bergdorf Goodman
I was excited to see an upper floor section of FAO Schwarz. Lots of amazing gifts, toys and Christmas decorations.












Saks dressed for Christmas





















A ride in Central Park

The next morning after breakfast we finally got around to that fun ride through central park. Another perfect day and the photo opportunities were amazing. Gorgeous! 


Miss Courtney wanted a photo in the carriage













Our final evening we had reservations at Bar 65 for drinks and dinner. The views are stunning!










Cheers to a beautiful New York City trip. Jim and I found new friends and places we hope to see again!
