I LoVe NeW yORk!

So on November 13th you will see me standing in times square with my I heart NY t-shirt

That is right I will be gracing that city with my presence. I am going with my friends from back home (MILTON woo woo!) My friend Michelle is a hair stylist, & has a haircutting extravaganza going on in NYC, so her younger sister my BFF Cherish's parents bought her a ticket to NYC for her college graduation. Their family & I go way back Cherish & I probably spent 7 years straight together. Anyways they invited my other BFF Katie & I to go to NY, & I have like the sweetest husband who is letting me go,It will be hard to leave Dax but I really need this trip, Jake is going to stay home with Dax isn't he the best? a little birthday present for me :) Yes that's right I am 23 now, & I feel so old, I totally have an adult life. Anyways us 4 always have thee best times together, where your abs are sore before bed cause you laughed your butt off the whole day. Here are the ladies I am going with to New York with...

We are going to ravage New York like little Japanese tourists!

I can't wait to do all the site seeing so far we plan on...


We would like to see a live taping of a show, like conan o'brien, or regis & kelly. We are really shooting for SNL, but we will see those tickets are hard to get! We are hoping some holiday decorations will be up! We plan on taking a run in central park, pretty exciting, Katie will be carrying her pepper spray that horns & flashes a bright light when sprayed, so we should be covered on safety :) It is going to be a girls trip, & I seriously just can't wait! We are getting a hotel downtown so that will be pretty fun, seriously I am so giddy about this. Anyone been before? Got any good ideas of things to do?
So a post wouldn't be a post with out a picture of Daxton, we took him to Chuck E Cheese this week, he had so much fun, I think his favorite had to be skeeball and the Bob the Builder ride.

Wow you are the luckiest girl I know!!! That's so cool!! It will be a blast i'm sure. Are you going to leave Dax at home?! Well i'm very jealous, but i'm sure you're jealous of me for seeing Jane Seymore on the corner during my lunch break! Haha.

I'm so jealous! I LOVE New York. I've even given up trips to Hawaii to go to NYC instead. The next time I go, I want to do a girl's shopping/eating trip. No touristy stuff.

I recommend going to Sardi's for dinner, before or after a show. It's pricey, but worth it. The food is amazing.

You need to go to Central Park, and The Met. Serendipity is amazingly delicious. You should drive by the temple at Columbus circle. It's this little piece of heaven amongst all these skyscrapers.

How fun!!! I'm jealous! Jaren and I have been trying to find a time to go to NYC, but can't. Booooooo! I'm thinking sometime next spring, maybe March? Right before he starts farming and then we both know what should be happening after the farming next yaer. So we need to get our trips in!

So fun to go with girfriends. Esepcially ones you haven't seen in a while and are your bffs :) I'm so excited for you. That's so nice and great of Jake to be the SAHM for a few days.

PAINT THE TOWN!!

I've never been, ANYWHERE! I've always wanted to go and my sister lives there but with two small kids it's tough. Have fun and say hi to Conan for me.

Sheesh said...

I can not even tell you how upsetting/exciting your news is!
I was supposed to go to The Big Apple two weeks ago but our trip got canceled at the last minute. NYC is my dream place! Can't wait to hear all about your trip!

Jillene said...

How fun! I got to go to NYC my senior year with my Dance Company and it was a blast! I loved the Broadway shows and all the shopping. Especially dealing with the people in China town and little Italy. You'll love it!

Kara and Colin said...

Wow have fun! So exciting! I'm sure this trip will refresh you as a mom...and a wife! Take tons of pics!

I love trips with girls - I hope you have fun....but maybe if you don't I won't be as jealous.

I have seen the Statue of liberty and driven through Time Square- that is is for the Big Apple. Sad.

I found your blog via Michelle's (whose I just found as well)..anyway, I live right outside NYC & I'm sure I could give you some insight on where to visit & what to avoid. First- I don't think you'll need your pepper spray while running in Central Park- just make sure it's the day time and you stay together (look like you live there kinda thing) and you'll have no problem at all. Times Square- can be overwhelming but theres always hundreds of tourists lurking about. Have fun and take everything in. If your wondering about anything feel free to stop by my blog or send a message my way I'd be more than happy to help!

PS.. Dax is so adorable!
