Our day in New York City was wonderful. There is something pretty great about being in the city right before Christmas with store fronts elaborately decorated, lights streaming along each building and the overall 'Christmas buzz' fills the streets.
We soaked in a bit of culture with the Nutcracker which I managed to maintain consciousness (not a small feat for a jittery, a.d.d ridden drug counselor) throughout the entire 2nd half : ) It was pretty amazing watching the dancers and the decour. Absolutely beautiful. 

What better way to follow up the Nutcracker with a hot cup of coffee and browsing a local street market? Spices, teas, ornaments and fun hats....that is truly the definition of fun! 

It was a great day with clear skies, a little chill in the air and a totally great prep for Christmas...
