It was so nice for just the 2 of us to get away and spend time together.
This was probably my 5th trip to NY and my mom has been more than that so, we are familiar with NY and how to get around
Here is a recap of what we did....
Thurs.
-Arrived in NY
-Took a carriage ride around Central park
-Watched the filming of an Old Navy commercial in Central Park
-Went for dessert at our favorite, "Ellen's Stardust Diner." It is so fun because the waiters are all trying to get on Broadway so all night they are serving and singing. It is a fun atmosphere and always one of our favorite stops.
-Walked around Time Square and shopped on 5th Ave.
Friday
- US Open!!!!
- Saw 3 matches at the Arthur Ash Stadium
- Had a dream come true of watching Serena Williams play
- Overall just a really neat experience
Saturday
- Got up early to head down to the taping of the Today show. They are not outside as much as they are during the week but we still got to see them. We were also on TV 2 times! :)
- Shopped most of the morning
- Went to see Mary Poppins on Broadway (very cute).
- We have now seen, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Greece, Mama Mia, and Mary Poppins in NY on Broadway.
- Walked around and ate outside on the top of Rockefeller Plaza where they ice skate in the winter.
- Went to get dessert at a place called, "Magnolia Bakery." It was crazy because they are open from 9AM-midnight and there is always a line outside. They said they are only in NY. They have great cupcakes and desserts.
It was a great trip and I thank my mom and dad for such a wonderful present! I will never forget how special it was.
