Day trip to New York City!!

#lemon8diarychallenge

I had a fun day trip to nyc for my birthday. We drove to New Haven station and took the train to grand central. Then we walked 5th ave and ended up in Central Park. We went to the Central Park zoo, it was so cute. Very small zoo but it was fun. Then we took the subway to the big Barnes. But first we stopped at Whole Foods and had some lunch. Then we went to the huge Barnes and the strand book store. Then we walked to the Harry Potter store. There was too many people in there so we didn’t stay long. Then we went to Times Square and went back to grand central. #new york trip #daytripnyc #new york 🗽 #travelwithme2024 #barnesandnoble #thestrandbookstore
