I was born and raised in the New York/ New Jersey Area. You would think I city you have been to many times throughout your life would get old, but honestly, New York City is one of those magical places where it is ever changing. There's always new things to experience and old things to revisit. This time, my focus was on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, Some custom ice cream at Cool Mess, a stroll through the Central Park Zoo, and a Mariners - Yankees game at the always picturesque Yankees Stadium. Some things never get old!
