First Time in New York City

Zach & Courtney take the family to New York City for the first time. Over the past few years, Zach has been working regularly in New York, but the rest of the family (Courtney included) had yet to visit the city. In this episode, we talk about experiencing New York with our five kids. We visit spots like Times Square, Battery Park, Chinatown, the 9/11 Memorial, Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and more! This show is packed with photos from Zach, video clips from Courtney, and some images by the kids, too. “Photography is nothing–it's life that interests me.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson Index 0:00 - Photographing what’s in front of your camera 2:27 - Zach has been leaving his family behind 4:34 - Driving into New York on September 11th 10:26 - Visiting Times Square at night 16:37 - Central Park felt the most “New York” 21:22 - Starting our first day in Battery Park 23:54 - Visiting the 9/11 Memorial 27:39 - Every city has more than you expect 30:04 - Chinatown, NYC 33:13 - Accepting exhaustion 34:12 - Bichon owners meetup 35:39 - Courtney says let the kids pull us forward 39:25 - Kids love climbing rocks in Central Park 45:03 - Courtney’s birthday in New York 46:25 - Visiting the American Museum of Natural History 1:01:02 - Back to Central Park & Belvedere Castle 1:03:06 - Popular spots in Central Park 1:04:49 - 5th Avenue 1:06:03 - Takeaways from visiting New York City for the first time.
