Big Apple Day 3: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge
After a satisfying brunch at Jane, the wife and I headed out on our Big Apple Day 3 adventures. Now, we didn't really have any plans for this day.

Rather, we simply did whatever we felt like that day. Our second day in The City was BEAUTIFUL, so we decided to knockout some of the outdoor sights. So here goes, our Big Apple Day 2! … [Read more...] about Big Apple Day 2: Rockefeller, Central Park, Times Square
