Mini vacation to my hometown NYC in the winter

A beautiful babygirl was born in Bronx NY, my mom moved me and my siblings to Florida when I was 10 years old. I'm 38 it's been a very long time since ive been back to my hometown... So I took a vacation during the winter time to go see my dad in Brooklyn. I got Florida blood in me, so 28 degrees had me freezing. The weather was totally different from Florida weather. But overall I had a blast, and loved being back home and embracing my Christmas winter with love ones.... But when I got back to Florida, I was so relieved to see Sunshine again...

NYC, I'll be back, but I'll have to come before the winter season...
