Last Day in New York!

Here's the last few pictures that I'd like to share! I am now back home in Portland. My trip to New York flew by too quickly!

 Yesterday, we made a pit stop in Connecticut and here is the picture of the New York sign on the way back!

 The largest Christmas lights I have ever seen!

 Rockefeller Center once again. I just had to see the tree one more time.

 We didn't have a chance to go ice skating here (the line was craaazy long), but that just gives me more reason to come back another time during Christmas. :)

Soooooo beautiful! 

I'll see you later, New York!

Thanks sis for making it a wonderful Christmas! I already miss you!
