Day One: Travel Time

SPRING BREAK 2013: The Big Apple

New York City will eventually be my home, so I figured I may as well get familiar with it.
I decided that on March 1, 2013 I would be on my way to the big apple.
Friday came, and I boarded the bus to Columbus
where I would then take a Greyhound bus to NYC.

On the bus from Athens to Columbus = the first step in my adventure!

Travel Apparel
(This picture was taken when I arrived in NYC so pardon my disheveled appearance.
Give me a break people, I'd been traveling for 15 hours.)

 Sweater = Forever 21

Dark Jeans = American Eagle

Riding Boots = JCPenney

and the Mustache Scarf is from Make Me Chic.

My docking gate in Columbus.
After 5 hours in the station, I was ready to get the show on the road.

They're not kidding when they say you meet some crazy people in the bus station . . .

but you also meet some crazy nice people.

Throughout the bus ride, we hit snow patches in Pittsburgh and traffic in Philadelphia.

Entering Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
At this point, I was SO CLOSE to NYC I could taste it!

A little bit of historic Philadelphia for you.

I arrived in New York City around 4pm and after a long day of travel, 

I was ready to do some fine dining.

So naturally, my dad and I found the nearest sandwich shop and had our fill.

Saturday Night Dinner = The Potbelly Sandwich Shop on 7th Avenue.

This meatball sub was delicious, 

and after having absolutely no food until this on Saturday, 

this sure satisfied my hunger.

This is the view from our suite!

 We are living large in the big city for the next few days AKA SUITE STYLE.

We have our own little apartment here in The Hotel Pennsylvania. 

Plus we're super close to Times Square and 5th Avenue.

Hello shopping! 

My outfit for Mary Poppins.

 Saturday night, I went to see the second to last night of Mary Poppins on Broadway.

At the end of the show, Mary flies out over the audience 

and I can guarantee I looked like a kid in a candy store 

with the huge grin that was permanently fixed on my face.

It was a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious evening of theater.

My perfect view of the stage in the Amsterdam Theater.
Mezzanine was definitely the way to go.

Ended the long day with a pepsi: New York Style.
