Earlier this month Tiff and I cashed in our miles for a swanky hotel, the Andaz, and took the Bolt Bus to NYC for the weekend. The bus takes about an hour or so longer than the train but for a third of the cost. If you've never made the trip from DC, WaPo has a great compare tool for the different bus line options.
On our last trip we stayed on the Upper West Side near Central Park so this time we thought we'd see what the Financial District had to offer. We weren't disappointed!
On Saturday, we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. This was my first visit to Brooklyn.
After checking out the filming of a new Spider Man movie and the parks along the East River, we decided to take a ferry boat back to Manhattan. While we were waiting, an awesome storm rolled in over the city. You can see the skyline disappear as the storm got closer in the pics below.
On Sunday we went to see the 9/11 Memorial. While it's impossible not to tear up at the memorial, the nearly complete Freedom Tower makes for a powerful contrast.
Here's the full album from our trip. Looking forward to our next adventure!
