Taking a bite out of the big apple...

Day 1:
Well we flew in to NY at about six o'clock in the morning and took a cab to our new apartment. We had a little trouble finding our actual apartment but eventually we found it and got all our luggage up to the fourth floor via the stairs, no elevators here :). Then we hopped onto the subway that is near our house and headed downtown. It was pretty early for a Saturday so the trains were pretty empty. We were really surprised when we got downtown at how many people were out and about though.
This is our entry way and lovely kitchen, so far the kitchen has worked great.

This is our dining and living areas.















This is me and Dusty at Times Square, it was so awesome there was stuff to look at everywhere!
I think we are going to start asking strangers to take our pictures so that we can both be in the same picture.
This is a random fountain/park area we found while we were looking for Vincent Wolfs office.














This is Dusty in front of the New York Times and the espn zone. Dusty said " Dev, this picture is for you!" It's a little sunny, can you tell? Our next trip was to find Dusty some sunglasses.
Dusty tried on these glasses at H and M, I practically had to drag him into the store. There were some really cute clothes. I think we will definitely be going back.




This is the Chrysler building, the tallest building in NY, it is also a great example of the Art Deco period. The pic on the left was a mural on the ceiling. We just went in the entryway, I don't think us common folk are allowed to go to the top.

This is in front of the New York Public Library, we might go in later on.



Well, we were walking along and Dusty looked over and was like, "Is that Grand Central Station?" I was like, "Wow, Yes!" Anyways, we went inside and checked it out. For some reason I always though it was this huge above ground building, we almost walked right past it, it was so big and so busy. Overall it was a really fun day, we both found the buildings that we will be working at and did a lot of walking. We didn't really have a plan but we still found a lot of fun things. By 2 pm we were dead dog tired and hopped on the subway to go home. We stopped by the Target buy our house and it was crazy packed. Today (Sunday) was really great. We found our new ward and they were all so nice to us and telling us tips for the big city.



oh ya, this is the parking garage that we rode past on the subway, CRAZY!
