New York City – Stay & Play

Posted on December 6, 2019December 6, 2019 by Lauren Lane

Right before Thanksgiving, Nathan and I got away for a few days in NYC to celebrate our anniversary. We had so much fun getting to spend time talking, playing around the city, and eating so much! Earlier this week I shared all of the amazing food and drinks that we loved in NYC. Today I’m going to share some of our favorite activities from this visit to NYC! I’ve saved down to my Instagram Highlights all of my favorite clips from the trip too.

Nathan and I have been to NYC numerous times, both together and as kids with our families. So, the things that we chose to do this time around were mostly off the beaten path. If you’ve never been to NY before, you absolutely need to to the big touristy things – The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the World Trade Center Memorial. They are not to be missed things as an American city, or anyone visiting NYC.

Nathan had never done the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island before, and it had been 15 years since the last time I went, so we did hop over to Ellis Island for the afternoon one day.

New York City – Eat & Drink

Posted on December 4, 2019December 3, 2019 by Lauren Lane

Nathan & I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary by taking a long weekend getaway to one of our favorite cities: NYC. This was our third time to go to the city together, although, Nathan goes often for work. It was a wonderful four days getting to lay around in bed in the morning not watching Elmo, do some things in the city that we’ve never done before, and see some shows! I saved down my favorite clips from the vacation on my Instagram Highlights.

I’m breaking up our NYC trip into two parts: Eat & Drink, and Play & Stay tomorrow!

Joe’s Pizza (Greenwich) || Ya’ll. We have found our NY pizza. Kevin Bacon said that he wanted his last meal on Earth to be a slice from Joe’s, and after grabbing a slice…three separate times on our trip (YES! THREE!), we totally agree. It is the perfect, quintessential New York slice. Simple. Crisp, yet soft. Incredible. Nathan and I both agreed that this pizza was ‘go out of your way’ good.

Boston Recap! Part Three and Fourth Fun

Posted on July 17, 2019July 24, 2019 by Lauren Lane

It’s the final day of my recap of our Boston trip. Boston was the first trip that we took as a family aside from visiting family, and we had the BEST TIME. Nathan’s parents, Harrison’s Gigi and Pops, came with us. This was the final day of our trip, and it was the Fourth of July! In Boston! I can’t think of a more perfect place to be on the Fourth. If you missed the first parts of our trip, you can find Part One and Part Two of the recap earlier on the blog.

Boston Recap! Part Two

This is Part Two of our Boston trip. We had so much fun taking our little guy on his first vacation with his Gigi and Pops! If you missed PART ONE make sure to check it out!

I didn’t think anything could top our first full day in Boston, but I was wrong. Our day started out with little man exploring his new digs in the hotel room.

Boston Recap! Part One

Posted on July 11, 2019July 28, 2019 by Lauren Lane

This winter, Nathan and I were debating on whether it was time to take Harrison on his first big vacation. Nathan had the super smart idea that each of us would write three places that we wanted to go, and we would draw one – and that’s where we would go for our first little Lane family vacation. And the winner was…..BOSTON!

I had never been to Boston – so I was so excited to explore a new city. We decided that Harrison’s first trip – and first airplane ride could only be made better by inviting Nathan’s parents – Gigi & Pops. We asked if they’d be up for the trip, and I don’t think we even finished asking before they had agreed! So we were off!
