Day 255: 9/13/11- NYC Kayaking Adventure!

Day 255: 9/13/11
New Thing: NYC Kayaking Adventure!         

Inspiration: Kara          
Cost: $70 (or more)
Time: All day.                                 
Bottom Line: We had the best time--even with the smell (of Kara)

Reflection: We had an amazing day today! Ken and I went to NYC to have quite the adventure. Here is the breakdown of the day:

• We had lunch at the General Seminary of the Episcopal Church with Andy, Kim and Connie (who was in town for a meeting at 815). They literally had bus boys and long steamed water glasses. (One wonders how it is possible that they have so many financial problems.) Thanks for the delicious lunch, guys!

The High Line

• Then we walked to the Strand Book Store (a first for Ken) taking The High Line (which is a walking park on an old elevated train line) which was beautiful.
• I tried coconut gelato which was great!   
• Then we met up with Kara a headed to the waterfront for our kayaking tour in the Hudson River around Manhattan! On our trip we could see the sky line all lit up, the GW bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and One World Trade Center. It was amazing (even though it involved Kara). It felt great to be out on the water paddling in the currents just taking it all in. I will never forget this.
