I heart NY

Oh my HECK. I don't even know where to begin. I sit at my computer once again feeling overwhelmed at the thought of blogging. How do I put into words what an amazing time we all had together. We saw tons of the city, ate some great foods, walked our butts off, then we ate more, followed by more walking, we laughed (not just at my mom), we got lost (I mean I took the long way to get there just once), we shopped, saw some amazing Broadway shows, they probably had some of their most uncomfortable sleeps (I think it was worth it though, right girls?)

First night we went out to Patsy's Pizza for some amazing NY pizza.

We were pretty pumped for the pizza. We were not disappointed.

Then we went to Serendipity 3. It was pretty much heaven for my eyes and my stomach. I'd say it would be hell for the waistline, but when you walk like 2 miles on your way there, it's all guilt free. We just ordered the most delectable desserts, that were all so delicious. I think for the first time in my life we walked away from unfinished desserts, it was painful. I miss you frozen hot chocolate and chocolate cake sundae....
Yumm!

The Rockefeller Center



Times Square

Pictures really don't do this place justice. If only you could see and smell then you've experienced New York.



Top of the Empire State Building

So here is the scoop on this famous attraction. First of all I got confused with all the big buildings surrounding me. So instead of continuing to follow my step by step navigation, I ditched them and suddenly Lindsay & I were thinking the Chrysler Building was the Empire State Building. So we took a slight detour. We got to the Empire State Building and got in line and passed on the express pass (we should have taken this) Anyway we waited in line for quite sometime. I have to add in what a trooper Sadie was (sure we pushed, carried, and played with her) she was like a little angel just waiting in line. She was pretty amazing everyday as we tried to see as much as possible here. The view was amazing.

Grand Central Station

A little insider tip: check out the whispering wall. You can talk or sing right into the wall and it travels to the opposite corner.

Staten Island Ferry Ride

Not a great picture -but can you see Lady Liberty in between Lindsay & I.

Statue of Liberty

Brooklyn Bridge

Subway- tired or the lingering smell of Chinatown and the subway ewww

One day we left Sadie with Ryan, so we could go go go. I have to say how awesome he was to meet us everyday after work and take Sadie home and put her to bed, so we could go and play more. So we had no Sadie to hold us up, so we packed our day super full. When we got to the subway it hit the girls. To quote Lindsay "If there is no seats in the subway I'm sitting on the floor." Lindsay totally wimped out by the end of the day. I won't lie we definitely did a lot of walking but I had to play the tour guide role (plus I'm kind of a New Yorker now right? I walk EVERYWHERE)

Stardust Diner on Broadway

This place was awesome to take Sadie to, because she was so entertained by the singing servers (aspiring actors and actresses). It was nice to enjoy my meal and the company and watch the people around us ohh and ahhh at Sadie and pay more attention to her than I was.

Trying to join the Hogwart family.

There are more pictures to see and stories to share, but that is all I will do for now.

I must add that we saw Wicked, and we were on a Broadway high after the show. Then we saw In the Heights and it happened all over again. The shows were AMAZING!

Also, the weather the whole time they were here was fabulous.

I don't think we could have had more fun. It was the ultimate girls trip in NY. I am so glad my mom and sisters could come out to visit.
