Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of

We landed safely, and are all settled in.  Our first day was great (although we were running on almost no sleep).

Our hotel is conveniently located on 94th & Broadway, so we have easy access to both the express and local subways, and can quickly get anywhere we need to be.  Outside our window, we have all the authentic views and sounds of the busy city.

Tons of things to do and see, but we need to take care of business first.  After the ‘big day’, we’ll have more time for sightseeing.  Even so, we were still able to squeeze in some fun on our first day.  Here’s Jenny at Columbus Circle, posing by the steel globe in front of the Trump International Hotel and Tower, while we were waiting for our ride.

But before we even got this far, Jenny got a trial run of her hairdo. Click on any of the pictures to see them larger.

Jenny got her trial run hairdo at the fabulous K’s Salon, and it looked awesome!  We spent the rest of the day having fun and getting our pre-wedding pics while Jenny got to “test drive” her new hairdo.

I think she likes it!

Way too much to do now, so we’ll upload the rest of today’s pictures in the next post.

Meanwhile, across town…

We’re in SEATAC, and about to board our flight.  The forecast shows clear sunny skies Thursday through Sunday!  What more could we ask for?

Jenny could ask for another way to get there.

A slight case of aviophobia at first, but she eventually got on the plane, even with a smile!

 

Red-eye flights are the best!  Except when a passenger brings their small, annoying, yapping dog on board.  An unexpected disturbance to our mid-flight nap at 30,000 feet.

Almost there.  It will be daylight when we land, and we’ll hit the ground running!

 

Time for a scary story…

Wanna hear a scary story?  We’re leaving tomorrow and haven’t even started packing yet!

There’s so much to do, and time is running out.  As many of you already know, the announcements won’t arrive until after we leave.  So we’ll be posting everything here, and will mail out the announcements once we return.

The picture above was taken just south of Mount St. Helens in the Ape Cave, the longest continuous lava tube in the continental United States.  Very dark, and a little cold.  We hiked the whole thing, and stopped along the way for a few fun pics (more pictures later).
