#9 Brooklyn Bridge (take two)

17 Oct

Nick’s 30th is fast approaching and I feel like our list is just treading water. We haven’t crossed anything off in a few months now. We had snowboarding lessons and a helicopter ride booked for our trip to Queenstown in June… but as many of you know, we never got on that flight and long story short, that was the very start of the reason why we are now living in London! Thankfully we have until late March to complete everything!

So to make myself feel a little more productive, I’m going to post a take two of #9 – Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge.

In transition to London, Nick and I met in NYC for 10 days. Would you believe that the first time we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge together, we didn’t actually get a photo of the two of us. This time we crossed the bridge during the day and it was a beautiful 30 degrees – maybe a little too hot for Nick!

#9 Brooklyn Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge

21 May

Not much of an explanation needed here… they’re on the list and we crossed them back in August 2012.

We crossed the Brooklyn Bridge after an AMAZING dinner at River Cafe in Brooklyn. The restaurant had an amazing view of the NYC skyline so it was the perfect ending to a fantastic dinner!

The day that we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, it was absolutely freezing and neither of us had packed a warm for the trip. San Francisco was surprisingly cool for Summer. We wanted to ride bikes over the bridge and into the town on the other side but the weather was so awful that we opted for a hop-on-hop-off tour bus and froze all the way over and back on the rooftop!

#10 Attend the US Open

21 Jan

We actually did #10 back in August 2012, but since its on the list it deserves a quick post.

We bought grounds passes for the day so we could attend more matches but managed to sneak into the Arthur Ashe Stadium to watch Andy Murray. Murray then went on to win The US Open 2012 so it was great that we got to see him play. The photo below was taken just after we got in and found some empty seats. You can’t really see it in this photo without zooming in but Nick is pointing to the big writing saying “NO ENTRY TO ARTHUR ASHE”. Cheeky!
