Last weekend Clint and I had the time of our lives...in New York City! We said good-bye to our little munchkin on Friday night, she spent the weekend with Mimi & Papa, and we were off! We did it all;Times Square, Ground Zero, City Tour, Broadway, Cheesecake, Pizza, Rockefeller, the list goes on and on. Although the weather was about 30 degrees below normal for this time of year (we were a wee bit cold!), it didn't stop us. We had an amazing time. I'll let our pics tell our story.
Our first morning out...taking in Times Square!

Oh the celebrities we saw!



Lady Liberty....really thought she was much bigger!


Our first meal...of course some good NY pizza!!

Clint remembers this bull from many movies...I don't....but I took a pic with it's hiney anyway!


Awwe....:-)


I saw this on a bus...shout out to mom and sistas! We heart TJ!


Our first night on the pier after a full day of walking and touring through the cold all day.

Um...M&M store....a pregnant girl's dream! haha

Our first night we walked down to Rockefeller Plaza. It was beiautiful! They had the ice skating rink up and everything....it was awesome!


So we ventured out to the Statue of Liberty on the second day. Little did we know it would be rainy and freezing! It really was cold, I am not just being dramatic...promise!

Quick pic before we ran back to the ferry to get warm!

Yum! Cheesecake! I was so excited!

Although our hotel was great..it was a little "boutique-ish" place right in the middle of everything really. However, we didn't quite get the drop dead view of the city that we had hoped....we laughed and chalked it up as a memory! :-)


Dinner after our broadway debut. We saw Shrek and surprisingly...it was magnificant! We had a wonderful night!



Our last day there, the sun finally came out! Go figure. :-) We took it easy strolled through Central Park and tried to take the last sites of the city in.


How many movies have you seen this in??


Saying good-bye to NYC in front of our cute little hotel.



Overall....we had the time of our lives! I have to admit, it would haven't been so great if I didn't have such a great husband! It was so great to have a weekend away together and reflect on all of the blessings that we have. And he even let me shop a little! Kudos to Clint! haha. We have been married over 8 years now and I can honestly say each year has gotten better and better. He is the best friend, husband and daddy ever! I am not sure how I got so lucky...but I will take it!
