ghostbusters fire station new york

Ghostbusters! This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, so it was natural for me to want to stop by the fire station where a lot of the magic happened in the movie. Quite literally!

The Ghostbusters fire station is a functioning firehouse. We saw fire fighters on duty, and we were able to peek into the side door where we could see an engine ready to go. For those of us who were looky-loos, we were all outside taking pictures.

I was happy to be able to take a quick photo in front of the firehouse despite the strong winds blowing right at me; I think you can tell the wind was strong by looking at me! haha

Speaking of Ghostbusters, I found out there is another sequel to the original movie, and it is in theaters right now! This version features the original actors. I am so excited! I am looking at my schedule as we speak to find a day to go see it. It looks so good! Have you seen it yet?

If you love Ghostbusters like me, there is also a fabulous Lego display at the Lego store near Rockefeller Plaza. I snapped a photo, which you can see below. The marshmallow man is my favorite villain from the movie.

Well, that’s my touristy, fan-girl visit to the Ghostbusters firehouse! If you love the movie like me, and happen to be in NYC, definitely stop by and get your superfan photo!

Thanks for stopping by!

Handbags under $1000 spring 2024

Spring 2024 handbags under $1000 from top left: black shoulder bag / neutral mini tote / black shoulder bag / chocolate brown slouchy tote / black handbag / yellow pouch /

There are so many fabulous handbags under $1000 for the spring 2024 season, it is unnecessary to spend thousands of dollars on a handbag; unless of course you are absolutely in love with it and know you will get a lot of use out of it, but I digress. . .

The spring 2024 is still all about the anonymous handbag. The ultimate IT bag is a bag no one knows, unless of course, they know! haha

Handbags right now are all about high quality, expert craftsmanship, and no loud logos. Think, investment handbags!

While fun colors are hot for spring, neutrals and black are also hot right now. A fun color can be an investment just as much as a neutral or black handbag. When shopping for a color, look for a hue you love and can picture yourself wearing every spring/summer season. Don’t buy a color because you think it is trendy, buy a shade you love and will cherish for years. That will make a colorful handbag a true investment.

So, without further ado, here are a few fabulous handbags from around the web priced under $1000 and investment worthy. Love!

I hope you find your forever bag under $1000!

Thanks for stopping by!

Empire State Building with Premium Experience tickets

The Empire State Building is one of the most iconic buildings in the world. It has a beautiful art deco design and is an engineering marvel. Due to this fact, I splurged on our tour tickets and went for the “Premium Experience” so that my daughter, who is studying Civil Engineering, would have an informative tour of a famous engineering marvel.

The tour was well worth it! We had a fabulous tour guide named Renita, and she guided us throughout the building pointing out engineering tidbits for my daughter. I love how she tailored the tour for my daughters’ interests, it was amazing!

We were able to see the views from both the 102nd and 86th floors as well as a guided tour through the museum. In fact, the entire experience was a private, guided tour! It was incredible to learn about the art deco architecture, engineering facts, and history of this iconic building.

Renita also took photos of us, which I am not sharing on the blog because my daughter would prefer to not be on my blog, but they are beautiful family photos we will definitely cherish.

Isn’t the art deco light fixture below amazing? I loved learning about the interior fixtures, the limestone and granite from Indiana, and the history behind designing the interior.

Taking a tour of the Empire State Building is definitely an activity I recommend. Also, the Premium Experience tickets are also worth the price, so I highly recommend going with those tickets when you visit! You won’t regret the private tour.

What I wore, for the tour:

Thanks for stopping by!
