new york new york

so much to say. we were able to do all that we set to do, but we both agreed that we just skimmed the surface of that city. and we can't wait to go back.

our hotel was in times square and we were on the 40th floor with a corner room. two walls of windows with views of the river and the empire state building. amazing. we walked a lot and took the subway too, which was surprisingly SO easy! we were encouraged to break out of our rut of eating at chain restaurants, and i'm happy to report that we only went to a chain once. just about every place we went into was fantastic.

we saw wicked, 6 rows back from the front. it was funny, interesting, beautiful and overwhelming. such a great, great show. i HIGHLY recommend it.

like i said in an earlier post, i think it was harder for the kids to transition back to being with us, than it was for them to transition to grandma and grandpa. it was amazing how quickly we were comfortable and used to being just the two of us. i loved being with matt, i loved all the city had to offer and all that is left for me to go back and see!views from our hotel roomrockefeller center
