Things I 💜'd about our NYC trip🗽
1. I enjoyed your thoughtful secretive itinerary. You picked a lot of things to see & do, yet kept it realistic for our short time frame. I was not aware that a lot of things you showed me even existed or I had completely forgotten they were in NYC. Also, despite the fact that we did not get to see everything (that would be impossible in one day), or see all the things we did see up close, in depth, or for long increments of time, you still managed to give me a full day of the best NYC attractions.
2. This may be cheesy, but I honestly enjoyed the fact that I went with you instead of anybody else. You always feel the need to enlighten me with many important & relevant facts, so if I would have went with anyone else, it would have not have been much of an informative trip. In addition, I am glad it was just the two of us. If we were in a group, we would have had to make many compromises throughout the day which would have been frustrating & time consuming.
3. It was neat to see all the hustle & bustle of NYC streets firsthand. While I have obviously seen city traffic before, NYC's is interesting & overwhelming to witness due to the large & diverse amount of pedestrian traffic alone. It was all intimidating at first, but having you there made it a lot better & I eventually became as comfortable as possible for a first timer.
4. Times Square is exactly how I imagined it to be; filled with people, mostly the touristy type, an insane amount of advertising going on & strange costumed people trying to make a quick buck. However, I am glad that I got to see it & that it was the first thing on our list. Looking back, I wish was more excited about seeing other attractions since it was not that great (it wasn't bad either)!
5. Seeing the Rockefeller center in person was neat. I don't really remember how I imagined it now that I've seen it, but it seemed different. I guess because I always pictured it with the ice rink & seeing it in the summer clearly made that impossible. I like how you pointed out the flags surrounding it were of less significant countries than 🇺🇸. Maybe one day in my future, I will get to visit it in the winter to see it as an ice rink, along with the giant Christmas tree.
6. Even though I don't really like churches & I had no idea that it existed, St. Patrick's cathedral was cool to see. I do have an appreciation for the architectural skill that is required to create a beautiful gothic building, especially that huge. I just googled it & read a little bit of its history, because I figured you made a point to show it to me for a reason.
7. The Roosevelt island is another NYC attraction that I was unaware of. I know for a fact that I would not be able to commute on & off that island by use of the terrifying tram, but I'm glad you made me get on it since it offered a pretty decent view of the city. I wish the weather was nicer & we brought our mitts, I would have practiced my developing baseball skills & maybe even ran a little bit to make you happy. Even though we did not get to spend much time on the island, I like that it seems a little bit quieter & calmer than the rest of the city.
8. I'm so SO happy I finally got to see the Statue of Liberty! Even though I pulled a spacey & completely forgot it was there, that was something I really wanted to see. Even though I could only see it from a distance, it's hard not to be in awe of that beautiful copper lady. Maybe someday in my future I'll be lucky enough to ride one of those boats to go see that magnificent structure up close & personal.
9. The subway was another thing I enjoyed about NYC...seriously. I'm aware that I've seen baltimore's subway, but the one in NYC is much more boisterous & confusing. It is also filmed for a lot of movies, so it was fun to be there in real life. I know that I would eventually learn to successfully use it on my own, but I am thankful that I don't have to use that as a main source of transportation on a regular basis.
10. Although you believe going there was insignificant & I will most likely forget about it, I did enjoy seeing & walking through Washington Square Park & I will not forget about it. I know that park is one of the best‑known of New York City's public parks & it is a landmark for Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. I have seen it in movies before a well, so that definitely made it more interesting to visit. Now, if I see it in future movies, I will remember that I have been there & I was with you. 😘
I could actually continue & list a few more things that I enjoyed about NYC, but you said 10 so I'm sticking to my directions. I'm sorry if there are not enough adjectives to appease you, but I honestly did not bull shit my way through this so it would be genuine, whether or not you believe that fact. I know it was not the best of all day trips ever taken, but I am still glad we went. I enjoy doing things with you (except for fighting) and do not want this trip to ruin any potential of future trips together. I know I have said it already, but I am so sorry for getting sloppy drunk to the point of passing out in the bathroom & not being able to use my phone properly. I appreciated going on this trip with you so much, especially since you paid for a hotel room & planned my entire day for me. You are my favorite person & I 💜 you
