NYC Here we come!!

On July 15Th my sister Ashley and I flew to CT to stay with my mom and younger sister Meagan. We left at 12 at night and got in at 7 in the morning their time...No need to mention the sleepless flight and my chair that wouldn't recline at all, yeah it sucked.

Wednesday we pretty much slept and hung out around home. We went and rented "Serendipity" because the following day in NYC we were going to eat at the restaurant. We also went out to dinner to celebrate Ashley's 26Th birthday, wahoo! (man she is getting old!!)We went to bed early so we could get up for the big day ahead in NYC.
So Brad, my step dad, dropped us girls off at the train station and the first thing we did when we got to the big city was walked the Brooklyn Bridge.
It was a fun experience, one that I haven't done in NY yet.
(my mom in her Socks and Clogs..I don't know if thats what you call them...its still funny though) After that we headed off for some major shopping. We went to Daffy's and Conways which was a blast. I bought some outfits for the first time since having Brooklyn and it was a definite self esteem booster feeling good in what I was wearing. (I didn't realize how much wearing clothes that fit make you feel so good) Then we took a break by a cafe next to the temple...We were going to do a session but didn't have time.
We went to lunch/dinner at Serendipity and their ice cream was amazing...They are known for their frozen hot chocolate.
After eating Brad picked us up and him and my mom dropped us girls off to see Wicked on Broadway...IT WAS AMAZING!!! I loved it, I loved it, I loved it...wow, can't say enough. Then we headed home.
Friday we decided to have a chill day and go to the shore. It was a fun outing. Mom was shoo-ing the birds which was hilarious
and Ashley collected sea shells for Taylor. The water was pretty warm but not as warm as they say. After spending a late lunch there we headed back to another evening chilling.
Well, us girls decided to setup a tent in the Huge yard they have and kick it outside. We got extension cords to watch a movie and to also hook up a fan (the humidity really is dreadful there). We had a fun time watching the movie and enjoying our "camp out". Meagan went inside early in the morning...yeah cheap.
Saturday us girls went and got our nails done, and relaxed again at home...(it was a relaxing trip for the most part)oh and Meagan got her toes done and felt left out because she didn't have a FAT ring...just messin...no really...
Sunday we went to church, witnessed their ward chorister who totally out beat ours growing up..( you know who i am talking about). Ashley and I played with strangers babies because we missed our own. Then after church we went back to the city to make some returns, walk through the park and last make our way to the airport to head home.
Our plane was about 4-5 hours late so we got in at 2:30 and we got home at 3:30. Then for me to wake up at 4 to feed Brooklyn, and only get 1 hour of sleep before going back to work, which is another story!! Needless to say our trip was a Blast and I needed the girl bonding time with my sisters and mom. Thank you mom for the plane ticket, the room and board, and a whole lot more. Oh and of course that goes to Brad too!! There are many fun memories and way too many funny stories!!

O my gosh I loved Wicked. I saw it when it came to ASU. I am in love with it. I have the CD and book. I really want them to come out with a movie. Glad you had a great time.
