Two nights before we left we were talking about what I needed to bring. He said I would need a carry on bag....I thought, "Awesome! We get to go to Cali and go to the beach!" He then showed me the Phantom tickets that he had purchased....YIPPE! A quick trip to California....oh no he said...."We are going to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway....in NEW YORK!!!" WHAT????
It was a quick trip to say the least, but we did some amazing things while we were there. Some of the highlights were....Sleeping in until 11, Times square, double decker bus tour, cruise ship to see the Statue of Liberty, toured a battleship, saw the awesome Phantom, rode in a cab, rode on the subway, ate at some very fun places, sat for a bit at Central Park, and walked around the city. WHEW! Came home reconnected to each other and had the realization that we can raise all our sweet offsring! Oh and a little jetlagged of course
You know me....I took 600+ pictures but here are my favs....click on the image to see more detail...And beware...lots of pics of us holding the camera and snapping away at our faces...sorry!
Self Timer in Central park....it was overcast so the editing is kinda wonky...how fun would it be to do photoshoots there?
Here is our Swanky Hotel, "The Ganzevort"...in the Meat packing district. It had a pool/club on the rook...people were waiting in a huge line out the door to get in...
Our tour out to the Statue of Liberty...very cool to see the skyline.
The battleship Intrpid...I always wanted to tour a battleship!
Times Sqaure at night...holy people! You could hardly walk...insane for sure!
Central Park...we only got a taste of the beauty of it...
Phantom...in the Majestic Theatere. It was a small theatere with amazing detail, scones, gold leafing, amazing detail. We were on the 6th row....I got chills many times and almost cried twice!!! HA!
Some of the other highlights of the city....
Thanks so much to my sweet Allison, Eliza, Regiane and Christi....I felt like a woman instead of a mother for a few days....
It was definatly an amazing experiance!!! Sweet Doug, thanks for making me feel so special!
