OH! Did I forget to mention that the views from the park are amazing! 






The High Line is a awesome time. I was a little disappointed because it was mostly green. I wanted to see more flowering plants and maybe some gardens. With that said though, it wouldn't stop me from returning again. This seems to be a great place to come and read, maybe even enjoy some yummy snacks that are offered. PLUS the views of New Jersey and the city are pretty great and its right on the water. The walk wasn't that far and didn't take us more than 25 minutes at the very most. We went on a Saturday and it was quite crowded, but not enough that I wanted to leave. I would love to check it out at night, I would say its safe to assume that the views would be GREAT then! Enjoy!



A wonderful adventure with a wonderful man!
