2hr Bike Ride Into NYC

What an awesome morning ride I had with my 19yr old sister yesterday.  We rode into the city which is about 30ish miles from where my family lives to catch up with my 16 yr old sister and 13 yr old daughter.  If you ever have the chance to ride down the Hudson it is a must do!!!  Upon arriving at Chelsea Pier we locked up the bikes, met the girls and grabbed a bite to eat in Chelsea Markets.  Another, MUST, if you are ever there!  From there we proceed to shop:)  Now for any of you who know me you know I'm not the biggest fan of shopping.  However, in a city full of uniqueness it's not so bad.  I think all of us managed to get something.  ME, oh yeah, electric blue Dr. Martens!!!!!

Moving on....once my dad picked up the two younger ones Kate and I strolled the High Line (incredible park in the sky), grabbed a snack at The Meatball Shop (oh my!) and then grabbed our bikes and headed back for our 2 hr ride home.  What a DAY!!!  Loved it!  Here are some of the snaps I captured along the way.

Our first stop about an hour into the ride a bit before the George Washington Bridge

Another angle from that first stop

Kate fueling up on Goji berries and reading about the construction project

She and I aren't quite sure how this ended up where it ended up, but it made for a great photo op

Awww...sisters (before we began to stink;)

George Washington Bridge

Froyo for the "little ones" or monkeys as dad calls them

This would be fun to drive

The High Line Park

High Line use to be a railroad.  They have planted around an in the old tracks.  Beyond interesting and cool to see!

More High Line

The New Yorker for the High Line

TMS (the meatball shop)

Made me laugh

This is what I ended the day with before heading back on the return 2 hr bike ride. Honey Vanilla Cookies with Blackberry Almond ice cream.  Totally justified given I will have biked a total of 4 hrs for the day:)
