New York City

On April 30, my mom, and sister-in-law, Natalie and I went on a girls trip to New York. We all enjoyed being free of kids and getting to see New York!

Ok, so the day that we got to New York (Friday) we went almost directly to the temple. Once we were done at the temple, we were so psyched to be in NEW YORK! That we walked back to our hotel and then had to explore Time Square until like 1 or 2 in the morning! Um, yeah, I am a early to bed and to rise person, but come on now, it is New York! It was crazy that people were out and about that late! The first time we saw David Letterman's theater, and the GMA/ABC news building, it was just like you have to be kidding. . .

 

On Saturday, we went on tours and got to see an overview of New York -- some of the memorable random things, was outside the Natural History Museum, there was someone being painted -- I think the model was wearing a leotard -- random though. The street of book publishers. . .umm. . .crazy that they are all on the same wall -- the Madame Tousard building where there were wax figures of famous people -- the way that taxis drive . . .not qauite as bad as Beijing, but close!
 

On Saturday night, we went to Wicked! Loved it! I think I liked it better in New York than in Phoenix, somehow it felt like it was more intimate -- probably as many people in the auditorium as in Phoenix -- but smaller theater! Do any of you remember the bomb threat of Time Square -- umm. . .we got kicked out too -- Crazy! When we got kicked out of Time Square we fell into the lap of FOX news, my mom even voluntarily had her pic taken here!





Sunday, we got to see Lady Liberty, and Chinatown. Fun times.




Monday we shopped and came home. Thanks Natalie and Mom for the fun weekend!
