Church... to Home

Despite the random snow storm we had last week, I think it is safe to say Spring is on its way, and we are very excited.  How can I tell Spring is coming, you ask?  Clue #1: Jamie wore a jacket (not a coat... a jacket) to work all week, and Clue #2: Birds were singing outside our apartment when we woke up this morning,  (to hear birds singing is truly a feat in and of itself in this city).  Because it has been such nice weather, our new thing is to walk home from church.  The church is about 25 blocks north of where we live, which equals roughly over a mile.  What makes the walk home fun, is that a good portion of the walk is through Fort Tryon park.  This blog post is going to take you through a typical walk home from church.  You must first understand that you are very lucky to have pictures included in this post.  We had been exploring NYC without our camera for the past three months (which sadly died shortly before Christmas... {insert moment of silence here}).  The good news is that we purchased a rad new camera, so we brought it to church knowing we would walk home, and could take a few photos. So, again, enjoy a typical walk home from church.  


1. Fort Tryon Park... these old bridges, walls and paths are what make this park unique.

1. The Mr. and Mrs...  the timer on the camera appears to be working well.



3. Again, Fort Tryon Park


4. Some old emergency station... It looked cooler in person, trust me. 


5. Some random kids playing basketball.  


6.  Patriotic fire hydrant.  Jamie had to stop me from bustin' out The Star Bangled Banner.   


7.  A cathedral just up the street from us.  We have lived here for 7  months and we haven't noticed it.  Sad, but true. 



8.  The George Washington Bridge
