'Just like a Sunday in New York'

That's the belting chorus from one of my favourite Bobby Darin songs.

And what a beautiful Sunday it was.

Walking through Central Park. Watching lovers (not as dodgy as it sounds) ice skate. Watching families play ball.

Drifting down Park Avenue. Staring in absolute wonder.

Lazing at Rockefeller Plaza.

And doing my own personal 'analog GPS mapping' of all the stores my family are just gonna love.

Toys R Us Times Square. Check. Tiffany & Co. Check. American Girl Place. Check. Fendi. Gap. Juicy Couture. FAO Schwarz. Abercrombie & Fitch. World of Disney. Banana Republic. Diesel. H&M. Saks. Check, check, check and check.

Kept my energy up with an awesome bag of cashews from Dean De Luca.

Not a bad first Sunday in the Big Apple.

It'll be a perfect one when the family are here to share it.

Can't wait.
