New York City!

There was this huge hand in the middle of Time square. I love my sis!
Outside of the Lion King.
A sweet fountain in Central Park.
The Shake Shack. So good.
Middle of Time Square.
It was a little chilly the first night there. Lesli and I wore our beenies.
This was the paper that piled up all over the streets.
Statue of Liberty.
That is our limo behind us.


I was able to go to New York for 5 days with my Mom and my sisters. It was a much needed break and the greatest time ever. Megan and Joe were very generous to let us all crash on their floor. Poor Joe, I don't think he knew what hit him. Meg met all of us at the airport Thursday night. She is the greatest talker ever. We were able to get from the airport to her apartment in a white stretch limo. It was so fun and our driver was so awesome. We shopped on canal street and bought purses, t-shirts, scarves ( my mom bought 20) and jewelry. I love how Meg is able to talk them down to great prices. It is so funny to listen to her argue with them. We spent time on Time Square and even saw the naked cowboy. If you don't know who that is, it is a nasty long haired blonde man that wears tighty whities, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat. He plays his guitar and he is yucky. I have pictures but I thought it was a little unappropriate to put them on here. We went to the broadway show Lion King and it was amazing. We shopped and walked and then shopped some more and then Meg made us walk some more. I thought Shay was going to kill her. I loved watching Shay's eyes as she got on the subway. We found this awesome little street fair, shopped at American girl and saw rockafeller center, which I thought was a lot bigger than it is. We ate so much yummy food, I swear I came back 5 pounds heavier. We ate at Carmines, grays papaya, and the yummiest burger place called shake shack. We had Mongolia cupcakes which are always my favorite. We saw the statue of liberty and ended up in the middle of the New York Yankees World series parade. It was nuts. People were throwing paper off the top of buildings. The streets were covered in paper. My Mom is the greatest. She goes above and beyond what she is supposed to. The time went way to fast and it was sad to go. I spent five days with best friends, my sisters ( shay is my sister) and my mom. I missed my kids and my husband. If wasn't for Jeff and his mom, I never would have been able to go. He is the greates husband ever. Thanks Meg of being the greates tour guide ever.
