Ok, so I have waaaaaay to many posts to start posting, because I know I have fallen way behind.
But in order to start it off right, I have to do a quick post about our fabulous trip to New York with our fabulous friends Brad & Megan! =)
It started a few months ago when we took a San Diego vacation with them and all our kids, and we all agreed that we needed an adults-only getaway together. Brad and Megan had already started planning a trip to New York for Brad's birthday (big 3-0!), and asked us to come along, so how could we say no??! Count us in!
{I will pause for a minute to give a HUGE thank-you to my sister and Arece for watching the kids for us and allowing us to enjoy ourselves while we were so far away! We love you guys!}
The place where we stayed was unbelievable. A 25th floor penthouse on the corner of 48th & Broadway, just blocks from Times Square. I have too many memories to post, so I will simply condense it all by listing a few fun highlights:
* exploring Central Park
* shopping
* lunch and coffee in Bryant Park, watching old men play bocci ball =)
*private walking tour of New York... walked for 7 hours with our tour guide and saw everything!! The blisters on my poor heels prove it.
* learning the Subway system =)
* Top of Rockafeller Center
* Wandering the east village one night in search of the perfect restaurant (maybe not such a highlight, right Megan?!) again, I have the blisters to prove it.
* Best pizza ever at John's Pizzaria
* ferry to statue of liberty
* sitting second row at Promises Promises. I felt like I was close enough to reach out and touch Kristin Chenoweth!
And this one is just for you Megan,
"You don't like creamed spinach?" ;-)
The time went by too quickly, and we had such a fun time. I thought I didn't take enough pictures, until I started to make a highlight video, and realized I couldn't fit everything in! So below, you will see a video of a few favorite memories of our fun {maybe too much fun in some of them! ;-) } Some were taken with a phone, so the quality may be poor- but the pictures still make me smile.
And Megan- you are going to LOVE me because I found a song from GLEE to go with the video! Do I know you, or what?
You're welcome :-)
