The lion, the witch and Manhattan
After hearing of the freezing ice storm that hit New York City a few days before our trip, my mom and I had no idea what exactly was in store for us when we boarded our morning flight to JFK last Wednesday. After all, we Californians are quite spoiled in the winter — in fact so pampered with good weather this season that the state is currently suffering from a crippling drought.
...seriously, 60+ degrees in February is not normal.
But all of our worries were for naught, as our 6-day getaway to the Big Apple was just what the doctor ordered for our warm-weather-wariness. Actually, I wasn't sure if we were really in Manhattan or if we were accidentally flown to the mythical land of Narnia.
As a Californian, I know that might sound hard to believe with our unbelievable sunshine-y days, so I'll just let a few of my vacation snapshots speak for themselves.
