M and I were able to get away for five days in the middle of December to go to NYC. After we went a year and a half ago, I'm pretty sure I endlessly talked about how much fun we had on that trip... It must have worn M down, because he eagerly agreed to go again, at Christmastime... Mr. Fugal! We had a blast; both of these trips to NYC by far have been our favorite vacations. We like to "go and do" on vacations, especially when it is just the two of us. We are SO very thankful to both sets of parents who graciously took our kids while we were gone. I know it's hard work keeping them for multiple days, and we greatly appreciate that you are willing to do so! It was so fun getting to spend time with M in the city! Side note: if you don't like seeing shows, don't come with us to NYC, that is basically all we do while we're there!
Brunch at Sarabeth's, one of our favorite places to eat in the city.
While sitting at our table, a ton of paparazzi started gathering around. A few minutes later Lady Gaga walked out of her apartment right next to us. Unfortunately we were only able to grab a pic of the back of her head! :)
My Fitbit around 5:30pm our first day there. I think we ended up walking another 4,000 by the time we got back to our hotel that night!
This show was OUTSTANDING! We got last minute tickets and were blown away. Hilarious, cleverly written, and great music.
Dinner at Josephine's. Best meal we had while we were there.
Night 2. Headed to dinner and Les Miz
Seriously, there's never been a better show. I cried the whole way through, just like the first time.
Serendipity dessert post show.
Sunday morning service! We hoped to get a Lester Holt sighting, but he must have been out of town. And no dad, that was not the only reason we went to church :)
Bryant park- starting to feel the exhaustion of our trip.
Cousin time! Matthew's cousins Stephanie and Esther live in Queens with their husbands and kids. It was so great catching up with them and seeing where they live and what life is like in the city. I don't think watching "Million Dollar Listing New York" is an accurate description of everyday life for most New Yorkers (even if it is one of my favorite shows)! We stayed our last night at Esther's and Azim's apartment, went to dinner with the two of them and Steph. Great way to end a fun getaway.
Again, I can't reiterate enough how thankful we are to our parents for watching the kids. Believe me, it is not lost on me how tiring and sometimes challenging our two can be, but at least they are cute!
David and Sandra filled in for us while we were gone for Avery's parent observation class at ballet... So sad we miss it!
Mom and Dad took the kiddos to Dinner at Bethleham at church.
