New York

We had a blast in New York!! We did so many different things I couldn't put all of the pics, but I did pick out a lot. It was a great get away for us, I enjoyed everything....although I would have been okay with more shopping. :) Below are descriptions of the pics and what we did. They should be in order of how the pics are lined up.

We got up early to make it to the Today show but I'm pretty sure we didn't make it on TV, o well it was still fun!




Brads friend Nick lives in NY so we met up with him and his girlfriend and stayed up most of the night talking.



Just taking a snapshot in our hotel.

The next few pics are from us going up to the top of the Empire State Building it was one of my favs. It was beautiful looking out over the city and a little romantic :)



We went to the Jets/Chiefs game....kind of a disappointing ending but it was still fun! Fans at Arrowhead are way louder and more into the game. Brad was wearing his Larry Johnson jersey so of course he got all the attention from the Jet fans.



We went to the Museum of Natural History (the same museum thats in the movie "The Night at the Museum") The pic is with a full size blue whale.


We went to the old Yankee's stadium and took a tour. It was more for Brad but it was kinda fun we got to go in/on the press box, field, dugout, Monument Park, and locker room.


We took the Staten Island Ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty.
The Broadway Musical 'Wicked' has a lottery every night where they give away tickets for a cheaper price. You have to get there 2 1/2 hrs before the show and put your name in a drawing then they pull out 13 names and give away the tickets....we went the first night and they drew my name so Brad and I got front row tickets for a great price, we were pretty excited!
We went to Central Park when it was raining pretty hard so we didn't stay long or take many pics but we do have one! We heard later that night that Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex on the City was there that same night....to bad we didn't see her.



We were at the Rockefeller plaza it was neat we thought we saw Alec Baldwin but I don't think we did.

Last but not least... we had to go to Olive Garden! It was 3 stories tall and just like at home busy, we had wait almost an hour to be seated. I decided if we lived in NY I might have to pick a new favorite restaurant cuz the menu prices were quite a bit higher then the ones we have here at home. Looks like it will only be a vacation spot for us. :)
