We're back from The Big Apple!

We're back from our trip to NYC & had a blast!

One thing I discovered about NYC-- if you don't move with the city, the city still moves with you in it... LOL.

Our hotel was right above Times Square & noisy! Wall to Wall people everywhere. Wow and all the taxis and people constantly honking. You wouldnt want to learn how to drive in NY, thats for sure. Perfect weather, sunny and bearable... in the 70s-80s.

I'll post a few pictures once the jetlag leaves my body and find time to download them. In the meantime; Here is a recap of what our weekend was like:

Thursday evening.... get picked up at Newark airport, checked into hotel. Enough time to grab something to eat before heading to the Broadway show--Mary Poppins (which was awesome! The sets and the performance was just amazing!)
Grabbed a Starbucks on the walk back to hotel, cause by then we were soooo tired!
Went back to hotel, went to bed.

Friday-- Got up, ate breakfast at McDonalds, then walked to the Empire State building (very cool) Then walked around, took many pictures, & took in the sights.
Walked to Central Park (very pretty and looooong!) Saw the Museum of Natural history. Ate dinner on the way back to hotel. Then crashed!

Saturday-- Got up, got coffee at Starbucks and grabbed a scone on our way to the Circle Line water tours. Saw Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Brooklyn Bridge, etc. Very cool. The NYC skyline was breathtakingly beautiful. We ate lunch on our way back to hotel and rested. Then walked to Rockefeller Plaza and took a tour of NBC studios. Saw the sets of Conan OBrien, Saturday Night Live... very fun. Grabbed dinner at one of the delis there, then crashed for the night at the hotel.

Sunday-- Had coffee and a NYC bagel (yum!) for breakfast. Had to check out by Noon, so we got dressed and packed, and checked out. Left our bags for storage at the hotel while we took one last look around the city before the car came to pick up at 4PM. We even stopped to check out The Gay Pride Parade, which was unique, for sure. Grabbed Subway for lunch and we ate outside. By 2pm, it was getting rather warm (80's) so we grabbed an iced coffee at McDonalds while we waited inside the hotel. Car came at 4PM, we got to the airport at 430... got checked in... our flight left at 6:15 and we were home by 9pm our time.

Okay.... Im tired! LOL. Our 5 year old Noah, has one last day of school today-- so I will unpack while he is at school. His last day preschool BBQ celebration is tonight. Still need to put our kitchen and bathrooms back together--as Josh (JT) and Jeremy painted while we were gone & even though everything is everywhere.... the color looks awesome!
