NYC & Pittsburgh {Overview}

12/17/2019

I'm getting ready for my very last trip of 2019, a visit to New York, New York and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

My husband, Bryce, and I are spending 3 days exploring in NYC before we head to my hometown of Pittsburgh for 5 days, for Christmas! 

Follow Figs and Flights on Instagram and Facebook to watch the trip unfold.

New York City

Why NYC?

I have always been fascinated by "the City," I planned to move there after college but moved to Hawaii instead. I've been there a few times, just for a day here and there when I lived in PA. (Check out the photos from my visit in 2006!) Bryce has visited for a summer weekend but we've never been together. We are excited to get lost in the City for a few days, playing tourist, relaxing, eating, and enjoying the Christmas spirit!

The Details:
  • Flight - We're taking a red-eye flight from Seattle to NYC. 
  • Lodging - We're staying at the Moxy East Village, so cute!
  • Objectives - To explore so much, get massages, eat great (Italian) food, visit the Statue of Liberty, see a show at the Comedy Cellar, and visit the Tenement Museum

Truly a sign of the times in 2006, Angelina and Brad were still a couple! At Madam Tussauds Wax Museum.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Why Pittsburgh?

It's home for me! I get home every-other-Christmas and this is my year. 

The Details:
  • Flight - You can drive from NYC to Pittsburgh but I don't want to mess around with snowy or icy roads in the middle of a vacation! We're flying, thanks. 
  • Lodging - MY ROOM AT MOM AND DAD'S HOUSE!
  • Objectives - Celebrate Christmas Eve at home, eat all of my Mom's homemade cookies: biscotti, pizelles, 8 layer cookies, etc., continue my favorite tradition of Christmas PJs for my baby cousins (who are all now bigger than me!), and visit with as many friends as I possibly can.

I'm excited for some holiday fun despite the cold! I hope you'll have a wonderful end to 2019.
