Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly and Aaron, a lovely couple from Virginia who’ve been living in the NYC area for several years now. They actually live across the river in NJ, right around my old stomping grounds (when I used to work over there). I’m so envious of the spectacular view they must have of the NYC skyline!

But oh boy was it a cold day! I felt so bad having them cross the Brooklyn Bridge in less-than-optimal weather conditions, but they were such troopers and didn’t even seem to mind.

Of all the times I’ve traversed NYC bridges, this was my first time doing it in snow. And how much do I love when my subjects start an impromptu snowball fight? So fun! :)

Once we got off the bridge, the cold was a bit more bearable. We had a bit more fun at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, with the ground completely covered in snow. And what better way to follow up their first traverse of the Brooklyn Bridge than by experiencing the famous Grimaldi’s pizza? Sounds like a pretty perfect day to me! :)
