New York

Danny and I went to New York at the beginning of December.
First EVER vacation away from the kids with just the 2 of us since our honeymoon.
It was awesome!
We left late Sunday night, flew on a red eye flight, and came home late Wednesday night.
We tried to soak in everything in 3 short days.. not enough time. ;(
We would wake up early and come in late.
It was so fun to be just with Danny and do just what we wanted.
New York was good to us and I can't wait to go back there some day (in the summer though.. ;))


We saw Hello Kitty and had to take a picture for Whit. Of course, she asked for a tip afterwards.
I sent this picture to Whitney via text and got a reply back that said she was crying because she wanted to see a Hello Kitty and never has. 
Ms. Dramatic


Little Italy.
On Monday we went to China Town & Little Italy.
Danny did some nice bargaining in China town. 
It was pretty interesting.

The Empire State Building

Rockefeller Plaza




Top of the Rock.

We went and saw Phantom of the Opera. 
So so awesome!


The red stairs in Time Square.

And the church has an awesome sign right in the heart of Time Square.
Pretty cool.


We took the tour bus around the city and learned about all the buildings and history.

911 Memorial.



Remnants of Hurricane Sandy.

Statue of Liberty.

Manhattan Temple


Central Park.

Hot Dog and Diet Coke in Central Park.
{I've never had a better hot dog!}


We took a tour of Central Park with a guy pulling us around on a bike.
It was cold!



Highlights from our trip:
*Shopping at 1 AM because every store was still open.
*Phantom of the Opera.
*Riding on the subways. (It would be fun to live in NY for a short time.)
*Walking every where.
*People watching.
*China town and our bargaining experience.
*The food.
*911 memorial.
*Taking the tour buses around the city.
*Spending time with Danny.

Dan, the man...
Thanks for the great trip.
I sure do love ya!

Looks like the trip of a lifetime! I am just a wee bit jealous but very happy you got to go and have such a great time.

Looks like such a fun trip! I'm trying to talk Daniel into going there for our ten year. Glad you two could get away together!
