Robot Claw

Last weekend we took a two-night trip to NYC.

We hadn’t been for years, and just wanted to shop and eat and visit a museum.

We took the train down, which is always fun, and stayed in a nice hotel right in the middle of the CBD.

It was very cold! But the streets were filled with people and we didn’t let the temperature stop us 🙂

After we arrived we hit the shops, somehow managing to drop mad dollars at Kinokuniya. Naturally I bought a load of postcards as well. Did you get one yet?

The next day after breakfast we visited the Intrepid, and aircraft carrier docked at a pier right in the city.

It’s part of a museum that includes a submarine, Concorde and even a Space Shuttle! It’s very good and highly recommended.

After a siesta we managed to drop even madder dollars at Koreatown cosmetics and Kpop shops before heading into Times Square for some lights!

And how pretty they were! If I look nervous in this shot it’s only because my face was freezing off.

Then the next day – after a bit more k-town shopping – we traveled home in our own private ‘roomette’ on the train. It even included a meal in the dining car.

It was a great little trip. We’ll probably make this a regular getaway 🙂
