Our New York City Escape
November 16-22, 2006
We stumbled upon the Library Hotel
in New York City a while back, and we thought it would make a perfect
romantic escape. Kerry had been wanting to take Gabe to New York City since he has never been, and it
is one of her favorite cities. Neither of us had ever stayed in such a fancy hotel! The hotel was perfect for
booklovers such as ourselves. The floors and rooms are organized similar to the Dewey
Decimal System. Each floor represents a different category, and every room on that floor
is themed within that category. Naturally we chose The Love Room on the 11th floor
(Philosophy). The Love Room is one of their Junior Suites with a King bed, and it is the only
room in the entire hotel with a private terrace. We loved our terrace! Each of the 60 rooms in the small hotel contains books appropriate to
their particular theme.
While researching, we also found Photo Trek Tours. Kerry was especially excited about this type of tour -- what could be better than a tour that gives us an overview of significant and photogenic sites in New York City while being followed around by our own professional photographer? We thought that our honeymoon would be just the type of special occasion to splurge on this tour. Plus, it sounded much easier than bugging other tourists around the city to take photographs of us together! He took over 200 photos of us around town, and we got some good ones of us together.
More information about the honeymoon is in the photo and trip report sections of the website.
