A random trip to the Big Apple~

We just got back from NYC 4 days ago and we really had a fabulous time! About two weeks ago we decided to be spontaneous and go to NYC because..well just for fun really! I have been to NYC a lot but Tay has never been so it was really fun to go with him. I honestly LOVE taking off work and school to have a little get away with him. The only thing that I wish is that we would have waited for the summer because it WAS SO COLD. Other then being cold NYC was great, we both realized we would NEVER want to live in the city..unless Tay went to school or got a job there then I guess we would live in up state NY (a lot better in my opinion).

We quickly learned to say NO to people, right when we got off the plane a guy told us to follow him to his cab..so we did..(DUMB)anyway we continued to follow him into the parking garage, he finally stopped at this black SUV and we got in (dumb again) anyway he pulled a gun on us and told us to give him any money we had.


just kidding, just thought I would liven up the story, no we were really fine but he did charge us 80 dollars for the cab ride which was a joke.

After a couple days in NYC we took a bus to go see my brother Ben and his cute family in Boston.

The Condo we stayed at~(for free) - the view was amazing..we have a pic of it on Tay's phone but I'm too lazy to download it right now so here are the pics I got of just the inside of the Condo (which was really nice place to stay at..kind of plan.)

THE MUSEUM of Natural History~


BROADWAY PLAY~ We went and saw the Lion king which was seriously SO amazing, I love plays, they are so entertaining especially broad way ones! I kept trying to take pics but I kept getting in trouble..so I couldn't even take one of me and Tay, the ladies that worked there had their means pants on.

(we also went to ground ZERO..and they still have not finished the memorial, it was still neat to see how tall the building is going to be that they are building.)

SERENDIPITY~ One thing that bugs me about this place is that they charge so much for a meal because they serve such LARGE AMOUNTS and then you can only eat a small amount which makes me fill guilt we paid for it so we continue to shove our faces with food until we realized we haven't even eaten dessert yet. So we got Two desserts a frozen hot chocolate and a fudge ice cream... we only took about two sips of the hot chocolate and could barely make a dent in the fudge ice cream..It was VERY good though:)I only ask that they make there portion sizes smaller- but that is America's way of getting us nice and plump.

WE LOVED Boston~ so much~~ we would live there if we were to move back east! SO BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE THE HOUSES THERE, THEY ALL HAVE SO MUCH CHARACTER TO THEM. We stayed with my brother and his wife, Lora. They were great host and we had a great time with them!

I REALLY LOVED BEN AND LORA'S HOUSE, it was just so fitting for them. WE REALLY LOVED STAYING WITH THEM IN THERE CUTE HOUSE, HERE ARE SOME PICS I TOOK OF THERE HOUSE (I FORGOT TO GET ONE OF THE OUTSIDE).

FOR THE LAST DAY WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO DO ANYTHING BUT WE DID MAKE A TRIP TO GET TO THIS WAFFLE STAND IN CENTRAL PARK~ my brother Ben and his wife recommended it to us. SO AMAZING! we would have eaten there ever day if we would have know how mouth watering good they are! When we got home Tay tried to make them and it took hours to make and he obviously didn't have the same recipe so they weren't as good but still very satisfying.
