We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving...Sam's mom and dad flew in from California, we ate the bird, then ditched them to go to New York and play!!! They were so wonderful to babysit while Sam and I had our first vacation without kids! What a blast!!! We stayed with Ryan and Katrina who live literally in the best New York location you could pick! We were just blocks from everything that matters :) ie; time square, central park, broadway, rockafeller center etc. It was the best vacation ever!!!!
We spent lots of time in Central park!!! It's the first colored leaves we've seen in a while!
Girl's getting ready for 2010!!! We loved bartering prices on Canal street and Little Italy
Yes, that's right, we saw Catherine-Zeta-Jones...Sam even jumped on her car!!! :)
Among the favorties that we ate was New York Pizza!!!! We ate the best food...I'm now on a raw spinach diet to detox the body, but while we vacationed, we filled our bellies well with Garlic knots, lamb gyros, pizza, hot chocolate, H &H bagels, and hot dogs...times that by multiple servings per day and you have our entire menu! Yum, sooo good.
Just a couple of wanna-be- New Yorkers, kickin it...we would have blended in but we took pictures every 10 steps! So much to see!
A nice run through central park!..ok so it was a run/walk because we stopped for so many photos!
Among the many things we did, we went to a taping of "Live with Regis and Kelly"...sam was not so excited at first, but in the end really enjoyed it...especially because at the very end of the taping when they are saying good-bye, Regis and Kelly are standing in the audience right by him...so it's basically Regis, Kelly and Sam :) It was Nov. 30, so if you watched it...you might remember him!
Our first broadway show we went to was Shrek...we had 2nd row seats and i got them FREE! A guy outside the show just gave them to me because 2 of his friends didn't show! That was just the beginning of my great luck! I also saw "In The Heights" on the first row for $26 because I won the lottery :) 2 shows for $26...now that's Spencer style cheap! After we went and enjoyed some nice New York Cheese Cake!
So the rest of our vacation memories are not on our camera because our fully charged battery died by the end of day two because we took so many pictures. We had so much fun. Thank you Ryan and Katrina for the best VIP New York treatment you can get! Literally we saw EVERYTHING new york has to offer...we walked farther than the pilgrims, but we did not waste one spare minute! What a blast. Can't wait to do another trip with out kids in...what...another 6 years? :) We'll see.
