This year, my family and I are in NYC for Thanksgiving.  Both of my siblings live in the city, and it’s such a magical time of year to wander around here, enjoying all the lights.  The romantic in me cannot resist a twinkling city skyline.  I took the photo below from a rooftop bar.  We were dying to stay outside and enjoy the amazing balmy weather.

On Thanksgiving Day, we took advantage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as a crowd diversion, and enjoyed a few touristy locations that would ordinarily be mobbed.  My sister lives in Tribeca, so we visited her apartment, and stopped by the nearby Freedom Tower.  Isn’t  the view stunning?  I wish we’d gotten a sunnier day, but even with the haze you can see how incredible the entire experience was.

We wandered down 5th Avenue, and soaked in all the intricate window displays.  I have to say, Boston does not do Christmas like NYC does! My favorite were the Bergdorf Goodman displays made entirely of Swarovski crystals.  They were truly works of art; my photos don’t do them justice.
