Trav was pretty busy with school this week and I was just trying to set things up for work so we didn't do a whole lot of touristy fun stuff this week. We found out we got our apt. on Tuesday so immediately following we went to where else? Ikea. It was a about 6 hour ordeal....it is an hour commute each way and then a for some reason it just took forever, we were completely exhausted. So Wednesday our things were delivered we were so excited to finally have a place of our own we put everything together that night. Thursday night Trav and I just went exploring the city down toward Columbus Circle and down to Times Square.....of course we stopped at the Hershey Store, below is a picture of Trav (I think he is the first person to ever take a picture like this, ha ha ha just kidding).
Walking through the city!
Friday we had the chance to go to the US OPEN. Trav and I have never been before. In fact I have never in my life seen a tennis match or even picked up a tennis racket. But it was a lot of fun we were able to sit fairly close to the court. Katie's parents were in town so were went with them too! I didn't get any pictures of the whole group, but here is one of me, Jeff and Katie.
The Women's Semi Finals, the first match we watched.
Me and Trav, it was super windy that day.
The second match we saw was with Serena Williams, she won!
So that is what we have been up to! Still learning and getting comfortable with the city but we are having a great time!
