Brad had a finance conference in NYC this past week and his parents were kind enough to come watch our boys so I could go with him! I
love love love NYC with all my heart and have been looking forward to this for months! I knew that being 8.5 months pregnant wouldn't allow me to do everything I wanted to, but I did get a lot of R&R which was very much appreciated as well. We stayed on the 41st floor of the Marriott right in Times Square. This was the view from our room...
Here we are on Brad's first NYC subway ride (he mocked me for thinking this occasion was cause for a picture)...
And here we are standing in line to see the Statue of Liberty for Brad's first time...
Small world, we discovered that one of Brad's best friends from high school, Nick, was going to be in NYC at the same time we were. He came with us to see Liberty...
Proof for my baby girl that she's been to New York (since both of her brothers have and I don't know when the next time will be that we'll be back)...
While on the subway this band entered right next to us and serenaded us in between stops...
I love the movie "You've Got Mail" and I love the west side of Manhatten. I made Brad walk all over there with me and take a photo with me at Riverside park.
We were lucky enough to see "Wicked" while we were there which was great...
We also saw "In the Heights" which won the 2008 Tony award for best music. We really liked the show, but the best part was seeing Brad's other friend from high school, Zach, who's the music conductor of the show. He took us on a tour of the set and back stage after the show was over...
Other things I want to remember:
**How kind and courteous New Yorkers were to me because of my pregnancy. When I walked onto the subway 10 people would stand up to give me their seat. While standing in what was probably a 2 hour line at the TKTS booth a worker came and took me to the front of the line (this happened twice)! We had people offer free food, give me hugs, and congratualte me a number of times. I was touched.
**Levain bakery. The cookies were to die for!
** Just walking around, hand-in-hand, with the man in my life. This is only the second time we've left our kids overnight and it was nice to just be "us" for a few days.
So long, New York! I can't wait to go back!
