Last Monday, we tagged along with Rachel to visit the Big Apple. It was such a spontaneous trip that probably wouldn't have happened if we had more time to consider what we were doing - ha! I have to say, we had a BLAST! It was a bit cold and crowded, but NYC during the holidays is so gorgeous! The boys and I even enjoyed just admiring the buildings and the wonder of what is NYC. We visited Rockefeller Center to see the big Christmas tree and ice skating rink, and we went to FAO Schwartz and saw the live big piano performance (picture the movie "BIG"). We ate lunch from a local pizza joint, enjoyed cupcakes and hot chocolate from Magnolia, but the best meal was Thai take-out while sitting around the dinner table with some of the best ladies in the world, my amazing cousins!
Our last stop of the day was Emily's amazing condo on the upper west side. She lives up on the 42nd floor with fantastic views overlooking the Hudson river and NJ. We let the 9 kids (wow!) run around and play while we enjoyed catching up.
A big thank you to Rachel for making this happen and to Emily and Katie for making time to spend with us.
