A Trip to the Big City

It all started with one simple thought. It was a spur of the moment idea really. 

My sister and her husband live in New York City, 

but they are moving to London soon! 

So I thought, hey I really want to go see them in the Big City one last time.

I had gone to NYC once before a couple of summers 

ago, and have always wanted to go back.

So it was the last month of Spring semester at BYU-I and I was just toying with the idea of going. 

I looked up plane tickets just for fun and 

surprisingly found some very cheap tickets for this summer. 

What started out as just wishful thinking, turned out to be a reality. I bought the tickets and 

eagerly awaited my trip to the City that never sleeps. 

Seeing my sister and brother-in-law was so nice. It was great being with them for a week

and also getting to enjoy a good stay in NYC, 

exploring the city on my own, and having a relaxing trip. I had a really great time. 

There is just something about traveling and 

seeing new things and places, (and in my case being able to see my siblings) that is so 

exhilarating. 

It was a trip that I made just for me. :)

If you ever get the chance to treat yourself with a trip

do it. 

Just take some time for yourself, no matter where it is you go, what or who you see. 

Give yourself an adventure.
