WHOO HOO! My mom took her three daughters to NYC for her birthday. Hmm... like of like a birthday for all four of us right? We had so much fun! DISCLAIMER: Serious picture overload! I had so many to put up!
Our first night in the city: We ate dinner at an Italian restaurant where the staff was very much italian... which meant great food! Also, they looooved Katy, and she was hilariously turning down their flirting and offers for massages... After, we did some time walking around Time Square and experiencing the city!
Day Two: We got up and got tickets for WICKED! We were so pumped! We went down to Soho for some shopping before our matinee viewing. The show was seriously outstanding! Definitely my favorite part of the trip! Then, we went to Planet Hollywood for dinner. MMM, I loved me some Will Smith :) Then we went to the MET and saw some really cool history and art.
Day Three: Happy Valentine's Day! We got up early and went to the harbor for a cruise around the island and to see the statue. It was SO cold but cool to see so much of the island from a boat and go under the awesome bridges! Then, we went to China Town! They were kicking off their New Year's Celebration and we had an awesome time in their VERY festive streets. Afterward, we went to the MOMA. Once again we saw some awesome artwork and really cool architectural design that Kim especially loved. Then, we went to the Top of the "Rock" at Rockefeller Plaza. The View was AMAZING! We even saw the rink clear for a guy to propose to a gal in the middle of the ice! It was so cute :)
Day Four: We got up, and planned our last full day carefully! We went to the Museum of Natural History and saw the amazing dinos! We walked from there, through Central Park, to the Guggenheim. It was fun to take a few pics in the park. We also passed some artists with their work for sale. I got some really beautiful paintings from one guy. I love them! One is a black and white skyline of the city, and one is a beautiful view in Venice. After the Guggenheim, we went to eat lunch where Jaye works! She is one of my best friends from dance in Ohio! It was so good to see her and she hooked us up with crazy amounts of food and desserts. YUMM! Then, we went shopping on 5th ave. We got my mom's birthday present from Tiffany's via my Dad's orders. It is a beautiful set of keys. Later, we still weren't hungry after our huge lunch, so we had a dessert buffet at The View, a restaurant on top of the hotel that revolves! We saw some great views of the city and had some awesome treats!
Day Five: This was my mom's actual birthday! We got her some cupcakes that were sooo yummy! We were very sad to fly out that day, but we had an amazing trip. We made so many memories that will last for years! I can't thank my parents enough! I love that city!
