Empire State Building and Fifth Avenue

What a perfect NYC day! The weather was beautiful, and we started the morning with an Empire State Building tour led by the amazing Renita Edmond. If you’re visiting New York, book a tour and ask for Renita! She was smart, funny, super knowledgeable, and even played photographer for us. It was so much more than we expected and one of the highlights of the trip so far. 📸

Then it was time for a day of walking and shopping on Fifth Avenue. We hit everything from the LEGO Store and FAO Schwarz to Louis Vuitton, Prada, David Yurman, Dior, and more. Somewhere in between, we grabbed a Starbucks and soaked in the energy of the city. 🛍️☕

We ended the day back at the Lotte New York Palace, talking about all the fun we’ve had. My mom and I are out here making memories and soaking up every minute of this trip together.

Best. Senior trip. Ever. 💛
