High Flying.......

View from our hotel room.

Life at the top can be dizzy.......................freezing, windy, but oh so fabulous seeing New York City from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building after the first snowfall.

Flatiron Building - snowy streets.

Even your tootsies would be red and frozen living up here!

We're home safely after five wonderful pre-Christmas days in the city. Off to tie up all the loose ends and then sit back, relax in the warmth of home and enjoy the real meaning of Christmas.

A very blessed and happy Christmas to you all.

Winter in New York City

Evening at Rockefeller Plaza, NYC

Thankfully we made it here before the 'epic storm' hit the city streets.

Jasmin and Mary - Times Square before the snow arrived.

Window - Bergdorf Goodman

Window - Bloomingdale's

Anthropologie's amazing windows were already 'snowy'.

Will show more of the city later...........more beautiful windows dressed for Christmas, the sights, shopping venues, parks in the snow, and all that fabulous New York City offers the traveler. Off now to venture out into the snowy streets.....see you later.

Not the North Pole

I'm heading to New York City today with DH and 'traveling granddaughter' Jasmin. Hold that snow, sleet or rain, please! Send it Santa's way, he knows how to deal with it. You may remember we planned this same trip for last year. Then, just as I stepped on the gas and headed toward the airport, phone rang and dear Delta told me all flights to the Northeast were canceled.........due to snow, ice, and wind, a powerful storm.

Fingers crossed please. I would really like to share images of the city dressed for Christmas. Hoping and wishing it all works out for us this year.

Weather Update:

It's beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas, all around the town we're leaving. A chance of snow flurries here in North Carolina later today........after we fly out. BUT, an accumulation due in New York later tomorrow and Sunday..........looks like we will enjoy an early White Christmas in the city and that will be awesome.

Thank goodness we bought real snow boots, they may get a workout on the snowy pavements of New York! I'll be posting from the city during the coming days.
