Jeff and I went to New York this week. We left the children behind. We left them in good hands and knew that they would have fun with grandpa and grandma. We knew that we would have fun in the city alone. We called it an "extended" date...luckily, this date would last for several days and nights. A dream, really. We planned our days to include plenty of free time. To wander the city, stop and see with no time constraints or schedules. Infact, each day we knew only to come home for our dinner reservations with Robby and Kat. Fabulous New York dining!
With that being said...NYC is busy, bustling, and fast paced so, we kept up with the pace and endured the blisters.
The first few days were rainy but warm. At first I thought it added to the thrill and adventure of being in NYC. But, a couple of hours later I wanted to grab a cab any chance we could. Wow, this city can be expensive. A few of my favorite sites included the 9/11 museum (heart wrenching), Broadway musical...shrek(sooo cute), the mets game (an experience), and most definitely shopping. Oh, the shopping. And, eating at such fantastic restaurants. We most enjoyed being with Robby and Kat and are very thankful for their hospitality during our stay. Thank you, guys!I wanted to share with the kids our trip in pictures. This picture stands above the rest in their eyes. Nothing is more impressive to school kids than spying Taylor Swift on the streets on NYC... only hours before the famous Kayne diss.
