Time to Catch Up

It's been almost two weeks since i've written anything - we have had a busy couple of weeks! Easter came and went with no posting, how did that happen?? It will have to wait still...i have something else fresh on my mind i am excited to post.



Nate and I just returned from NYC!!! We left on Friday morning with our friends, Tim & Jess Neiger, and returned Saturday evening. Tim and I were close most of my teenage years, he went to my youth group. Jess was my best friend from camp since i was 16. My two best friends married eachother! They have 3 beautiful girls who's ages are stairsteps with my own girls. it's always adorable when all 5 are together. Anyway, we got a hotel for one night, something we don't usually do when Nate and I go to NYC, but wanted to this time. We got an awesome hotel in a great location for a suprisingly good price.





Friday we spent the day around rockefeller center and times square taking it all in. we watched the ice skaters at rockefeller, made plans to try to be on t.v. during the early show the next day(we vetoed that saturday morning), took pictures, went in fun stores, all the usual stuff one does there.



We went to the world trade center site...construction is still going on, we looked at the "future" pictures of it. It brought back a lot of memories of my time at NYSUM (the internship i did in NYC for six weeks during the 9/11 attacks).
We had pizza in times square, went to toy's r us, a few other stores, wondered why armored cops were standing around, turned down many offers to attend a live taping of some comedy show, etc...







We also rode the staten island ferry there and back just for kicks. We were scared of rain all day since the weather was calling for thunderstorms, but it held off all day!!





Saturday was a beautiful day....the sun was shining, it wasn't too cold. We went to the empire state building, decided it wasn't worth the money, took some pitures anyway, then headed to the central park area. We went to FAO Schwartz (the toy store on home alone), the MAC/Apple store, and best of all, took a carriage ride through central park. Sounds cheesy, i know, but it was so relaxing and pretty out - it was great! Then we went to queens to get some pizza from one of our favorite places there, after that we headed back to delaware.







it was a full, fun, great weekend; can't wait to see them again! Thanks so much Tim & Jess, we had an awesome time with you guys!!! double bean dip! =)
