New York & Washington DC 13th - 16th August 2011

Mum and Dad wanted to see New York and Washington and well who wouldn't jump at the chance to go back to these two amazing cities.  With so much to do and see in each city, I was able to go to places and do things I didn't when I was there back in March!  Just to see Central Park again, this time all green and lush was wonderful. Unfortunately the weather wasn't so great in New York but that didn't dampen the wonderfulness of it!


Time Square

Beautiful madness everywhere

A little bit busier in Summer

another downpour

The heavens open again! 





The weather in Washington DC on the other hand was amazing, so hot and sunny :-) Washington is such a fantastic city to walk around, again with so much to see and do.
