The Big Apple!

So we're back! We had an amazing trip. You name it we did it! I am just going o list the highlights:

1- Canal street shopping (especially the back alley/ sweat shop detours for the fake purses! Everyone needs to experience it once-- or twice)

2- Little Italy- caught it during a festival of some sort-- was a lot of fun and met a waitor/ bouncer that was the true little italy guy! (see picture)

3- Yankee game-- they lost in 14 innings making us yankee haters very proud!

4- Empire State Building-- was made even better by getting there at 8am which apparently beats a major line especially because all the pamplets say that it opens at 9 so we walked right up there! Great timing!

5- Food, Food, Food-- loved Victors Cuban Restaraunt-- and especially a place called Max Brenners-- a chocolate lovers heaven! So good (thanks Luci for the tip)

6- Times Square and our hotel-- our hotel was perfectly located in the heart of times square-- it was so fun! (The Renaissance)

7- Catching the filming of the movie Sex and the City (one of the pictures if you look real close you will see all 4 woman dressed up really nicely walking into the turnstyle at Crysties)

8- And lastly but probably the very best was the shows! We saw Wicked and Mary Poppins! Both just amazing and so much fun! Worth every penny!

Anyway, we had a great time and now we are back with no trips to look forward to-- but our house is maybe a month to 6 weeks away so that will be our next exciting event! Can't wait! Alos-- thanks Jim and Ann and Doo Doo for watching Chase while we were gone it was a great getaway!
