The Honeymoon

Aside from going to New York, we did a bunch of stuff:

• We went right from New York to Chicago, where we met up with Jason and Angie (some good friends of mine, if you don't know). We went and saw a musical (Wicked), went to some great restaurants (including the Chicago Diner, my favorite restaurant in the world), and got some great massages in addition to the usual just looking around and doin' stuff.
• We went to a nice little cabin outside of Columbus for a couple days. The folks and the grandfolks paid for our little getaway as our wedding present. The coolest part was the state park right nearby complete with frozen waterfalls and deer.
• We went down to Indianapolis to hang out with Toby and Heather.
• We threw a second reception in the US for our stateside family.

And plenty more. Of course we spent a lot of time with family and friends when we could, but I didn't get to spend nearly as much time as I'd have liked to with everyone. Here are some pics from those legs of the journey.

New York, New York

Our honeymoon was the first trip to New York for both Hye Sook and I. We enjoyed ourselves a lot (but spent a lot of money too). After staying there only 8 days, we've decided to live there eventually (maybe when we return to the states, maybe further down the road).

The highlights of the trip:

• Saw an opera in the Metropolitan Opera House. I forget the name, but we both enjoyed it.
• Saw the Blue Man Group, which was a lot better than I expected it to be.
• Saw an improv comedy show that included a lot of people from Saturday Night Live.
• Had some great food.
• Saw a lot of great museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and Natural History Museum.
• And of course saw all the sights: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero, Empire State Building, and on and on.
  

There's always plenty around, so just walking was pretty interesting. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Times Square

There was an actual functioning ferris wheel inside this Toys R Us in Times Square.

Part of Chinatown.

See that gap between where I'm standing and those buildings? That's where the World Trade Center used to be.

Inside the Metro Opera in NY. I only got this one and one other blurry one before I was told not to take pictures.

Hye Sook was completely surprised by the size of pizza in NY. I had to take a picture of her taking a picture of the pizza.
