Once in a lifetime...

Once in a lifetime you meet a person that has a remarkable impact on ones life. I am super lucky that I have an awesome friend that has introduced me to a bit of Manhattan wonder I knew not existed. The night started with a hail of a cab and a cozy ride to our destination while we shared some tunes from my ipod and exchanged many laughs. Did I question where we were going? No and simply because I was simply caught up in the moment and loving every minute of it. An adventure was sure to come and I was quite thrilled. As we approached our destination I was still not sure of where we were headed. Upon arrival to our destination my heart began to race, my mind was not clear and I felt a little dizzy with the surprise that was sure to be before me in no time. We were on the water, the Hudson River to be exact. As we walked around the bend, down a hill, around another bend and up some stairs it all became clear before my eyes. We were at a little slice of heave.... The Boat Basin. A charming and delightful hole in the highway, and I mean that litterly, there it sat.... a little slice of heaven. We dined at the most perfect table for two, as perdect as it was there was a table next to us that was even better. The place was packed so we did not ask for a table other then the one they sat us at but when i noticed our table neighbors leaving we quickly swipped their table. Making the evening even more fun. We were then sitting as close to the water as possible. There was the perfect mix of boats and life involved in the entire evening. My eyes danced with happiness to see the mix of boats and the sparkling water it really gave me the feeling like I was home. Growing up on the water and being around marine life is something i miss always.I always feel at peace when I am near the water, in a way it completes me.

The night was filled with laughs smiles and much fun. After out bellies were full and the check was paid we went for a walk. Down the most remarkable path that lined the Hudson. Our legs grew tired from all the walking and we decided to grab a lovely little shabby chic park bench and watch the amazing glory of the sun setting. The sun was huge and so powerful. We relaxed and enjoyed the moment as two friends often do, leaving no room between us for anything more then nothing. Deciding it was time to leave and head out we exchanged more laughs until the best thing ever happened....... a park! Right there with swings and a slide and so much more. Yippiee!! We jumped on the swings and slid down the slide, the feeling of life was more alive then ever before. The sun was fading fast and we needed to head home. We opted to walk and chat which was great. Before I knew it we had walked from one sie of the island to the other. Ahh another wonderful night in the glorious Manhattan......
