New York!

New York City was absolutely lovely. I would move there tomorrow if I had the chance. I loved everything in, about and around the great city. I wish I could say the same for Daniel but he just didn't enjoy it as much as I did. I am sure it had something to do with the fact that he went with 3 girls and we shopped all the time...it is one of my guilty pleasures.

We left for New York Friday, August 6, 2010 @ 5:00 PM Utah time and arrived in New York around 11 PM New York time. They are 2 hours later than us so it only felt like 9PM. So we took the subway and went and checked into our hotel. Then we went outside and walked around times square. No one was sleeping and no one looked tired it was crazy. Once we were finished browsing around times square we went to our hotel and crashed. When we woke up the next morning there were still a ton of people outside. Times square is always busy.Then we took the subway to go shopping and to Central Park!We then went to 5th Avenue for Central Park and shopping. We saw this globe thing outside of the subway and I still am not sure what it is. Everyone else probably does but I don't because I didn't pay any attention to what it was.Then we went to Central Park and it was so huge. We walked around for a couple hours and we barely walked any of the park. They had bicycle people who would give you rides and I am pretty sure we should have done that to see more of the park but we didn't.
Then we got hungry and everyone got a hot dog and I ate this nasty cheese filled pretzel. I was going to take a picture of Daniel's hot dog but he ate it in less than a second because he was so hungry.
Then we finally went shopping :) See the gorgeous store below. This is just one of the many gorgeous stores we walked into. They had everything it was like heaven on earth. From Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin to Chanel. They had EVERYTHING!
We saw a lot of Cathedrals in NY and they were all so beautiful. We shopped until we dropped on day one and it pretty much was the time of my life. Daniel and I are across the street as we are heading home from our long day. Sabrina and I lost our minds a little while Shelly was in the shower and we made Daniel be our photographer. We were jumping on the bed and being crazy for probably 20 minutes and these are only two of the bundle of photos Daniel took of us ha ha. On day 2 we had a lot of sites to see and aside from times square our second site of everyday was a subway. We went to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and Lady Liberty is much smaller in person then I would have ever expected. It was neat and Daniel really liked it because he likes history and stuff like that. We obviously thought the subway was pretty neat. Then we arrived at Ground Zero and got to learn more about the monument that they are building here. They are building Freedom Towers in remembrance of 9-11.

Then we experienced our one and only, expensive, 5 minute Taxi ride! YAYAYAYAY!
China Town
Little Italy. It had some yummy food there.Then onto day 3. We started our by going to Madison Square Garden, which was a hot and sweaty tour because the air in the building was not working properly.
Then we went to the Empire State Building and Top of The Rock at the Rockefeller Center. They were pretty much the same exact thing but it was cool to see the city from up so high.



Then We went to the Library which was a dud. Someone said it was cool and it wasn't. We are thinking we went to the wrong one...Radio City was neat to see and from here we just finished up the day with more shopping.
The final day we woke up later in the day and went on a Circle Line Sight Seeing Cruise. We took a 3 hour cruise around Manhattan and it was pretty neat seeing all the bridges and the city from the water.

This is Daniel sleeping. We went on like 6 boat rides when we were in NY and he took a nap on every single one of them.
Our last night we saw Wicked. Daniel absolutely loved every moment of the show. I also liked it which is surprising considering my outlook on musicals. I am glad we were able to end the trip with something that Daniel absolutely enjoyed.


Then we headed to the airport at like 2:30 AM NY time and arrived in Utah, Wednesday, August 11 at 11 AM. We slept all day Wednesday when we arrived at our house. The trip was such a blast and totally wore us out :)
Thursday I went with Maddie to the Zoo for her 22nd birthday and we also visited Aunt Connie for her 42nd birthday! Yay! They both got some pretty cute purses from NY lucky them and lucky us to have them in our lives! :) That is the end of our vacation.
