America - Seattle, Rochester and New York Snapshots

I wrestled with this for a while.

Now that I'm home, do I go right back to the beginning of my America trip and start writing about LA? Or seeing as I've done snapshots of all the other cities, should I continue to do the same for Seattle, Rochester and New York?

It may sound a bit silly, but I felt like I didn't want to neglect the last three cities, because they were all wonderful places to visit as well, but just had the unfortunate timing of being visited when I was most busy! 

So before I turn back the clock and get back to LA, to retelling my adventures in a little more detail, I thought I would just share a couple of pictures from the last couple of cities on our trip, so you have a taste of what's coming...!

Seattle. A little rough around the edges, but still full of charm. I love your market and that you gave Brad one of the best latte's he had in America (definitely not at Starbucks).

Rochester is a quiet little spot, but was the perfect place to recharge a little bit while Brad attended his conference. The home of the man who created Kodak is really a sight to behold.

Oh and we had some serious ribs.

What can one say about New York? She's a sprawling metropolis, filled with buzz, excitement, things to do, lots of blocks to walk. I found it interesting that I really didn't get to hit up as many eating spots as I wanted to, because our itinerary revolved mostly around fitting in all the typical touristy things.

But I'm really not complaining. I love you.
