I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for my birthday but when I found out that the Downton Abbey Exhibit was going to be there, NYC was my destination. I’d been there several times before so I didn’t want to see the touristy places. I like simple things like walking down the streets and sitting on a bench and people and pet watching.

My cousin and her friend drove down from DC to meetup with me for the weekend so I had some company for part of the trip.
