New York New York

Drew and I spent the weekend before Christmas in NYC. It was a very exciting trip for both of us because we had never been there before. We were both very thankful that we were able to make it to New York. A big blizzard had hit the east coast starting in the DC and Philly area...all airports were closed in that area. Our flight was delayed about 30 minute which worried me a little because the blizzard was supposed to hit New York on the Saturday that we arrived. We were very fortunate that as soon as we landed in New York the snow then started...it waited for us to get to New York so we could be welcomed by flurries of snow flakes.


We spent Saturday evening exploring New York City. We stayed in Times Square so everything was with in walking distance. We walked to the Empire State Building and walked around the lobby, we then headed to Macy's (the worlds largest department store) it was like sardines (so crowded), we then walked to Rockefeller Center and saw the ice skaters and of course the tree, we finally headed back an looked around in Times Square in awe of all the bright lights.


Sunday was spent admiring the 16 inches of snow we had gotten the day before. We walked over to Central Park and the snow had brought out the little kid in all of us. The hills in central park were covered in sleders young and old. We spent the afternoon at the American Museum of Natural History (where night at the museum was filmed) I was so dissapointed nothing came to life. It was a very cool museum, Drew liked the dinasours best as you will see by our pictures. We walked back to the park playing as we went and got ready for out fun evening we had planned. That night Drew took me out to a really nice dinner and then we headed to Radio City Music Hall to see the Rocketts and their Christmas Spectacular...it was a wonderful night!


On Monday before we left we went back through Central Park to go ice skating, but unfortunately we could not justify spending the money that Donald Trump (who owns the rink) wanted us to spend just to go ice skating. So we walked around the beautiful park some more and walked into the Plaza Hotel (where home alone 2 was filmed) and wow it is beautiful! We had a really awesome time in New York but after being gone for 2 weeks we were ready to go home. Next time we go to New York we will definitely see the Statue of Liberty and go check out the Brooklyn Bridge...and possibly go ice skating (maybe we will save up for that.)


I hope you enjoy looking through our many many pictures...sorry about all the self portraits!
