New York City!!!

Hubby and I were footloose and fancy in the big apple! We enjoyed a special trip to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and my brother, Jeff's, 30th birthday! My sister-in-law, Jenn, planned a wonderful surprise 30th birthday party in New York City! We left the kids with some new friends; the Campus Pastor and his family from our church. They have two girls 8 and 5; my girls had a wonderful time.

The night we arrived our plane was late and we almost missed our show. We had tickets to see WICKED! It was awesome and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. From there went to dinner at The Palm and celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

Friday we walked up and down 5th Ave...this is where some of the good shopping is. We saw a three story Disney story, went into the 5 story Niketown (hubby was in heaven) but our focus was The American Doll store. E has been wanting one of these dolls and looks at the catalog often. We have been hesitant about purchasing her one these dolls and decided to get an overview on the concept. We decided on one for her 5th birthday in August. Too fun! We tried to take the ferry to Ellis Island and see the Statue of Liberty but it was sold out. So we took a bike ride through central park instead. It was a beautiful day.

Friday night was the big surprise! Jeff knew something was up, but had no idea that his family would be there! He was totally surprised. We ate at this place called Cafe Rhonda...delicious!

Saturday we met my Dad, Shervin (his wife), Jeff and Jenn for some easy site seeing. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and then ate pizza in Brooklyn. It was a beautiful day and we saw amazing views of the city. Dad, Shervin, hubby and I went up to St John's Divine Cathedral. it was amazing.

Sunday we rested, went to Bloomingdale's and at a hole in the wall called Burger Join.Yummy!
