The first thing people should know about us is that we are old and lame. We mostly like to be at home and since work is so busy for both of us, when we do have a day off on the weekend, we prefer to do little or nothing and still just be together. However, last Sunday we thought to ourselves, "We live in one of the coolest cities in the world. Lets go do stuff in it." So we headed to the South Street Seaport and took a boat tour of NY Harbor. It was a gorgeous day, and we felt very touristy, but in a fun way, not in an annoying way.
The ships at the Seaport were gorgeous and it was really cool to see the skyline and the bridges from the water.
Typical New Yorker that I've become, I've never been to the Statue of Liberty, so it was actually really cool to see it up close. I'm a sucker for history and things that have been around for ages. Its amazing to me to think about all the millions of people that I have never met who have seen the Statue of Liberty though the years. Makes me think about what their lives were like and feel tied to them in some way.
We had a blast on the boat and finished up our day with dinner at an adorable little Italian place where we dined outside and made friends with the waitress. We had an ice cream cone as the sun set on the Seaport and then we headed home in cab, pretty proud of ourselves for having had a fun NYC adventure and for being slightly less lame than we were the day before.
