New York part I

Whew, what a week we've had! So much fun, and so much to post so I think I'll break it up into a few chunks...
Monday afternoon we met Ryan's parents to drop off the kiddos. (I only fought back tears 3 times on the way there, and about 5 on the way back to Mesa.) It was so weird being back at our house minus the kiddos....so quiet. We enjoyed some Red Lobster take out and some season six of 24. Good times.
We left for New York EARLY Tuesday morning. (btw I LOVE airports and flying almost as much as the vacation itself!!! Ryan's done it too much to be as thrilled as me but says I make it more entertaining because it is SO EXCITING to me lol)
The first night we took a cab to our hotel and then headed out to see some sights...

(These pics are out of order--don't know how to fix it)
A view from the top of the Empire State Building

I wanted a picture with one of the big binocular things because I remembered them from "Sleepless in Seattle"

Having fun with my hubby and enjoying the views. The elevator wait was really long so we took the stairs for the final six flights--made me feel like I climbed the whole thing.


Ryan out side of the New York public library...No sight of Slimer (from Ghost Busters) or Dennis Quaid (from the Day after Tomorrow) lol


The lobby of the ESB...Fancy!

So much fun. I am so jealous. You need to talk to my hubby and tell him NY really is a vacation. He thinks if its not Hawaii or a cruise, its not a vacation, but I'm dying to go to NY. Glad you had a blast!

I am jealous that you got to do all of that with just your hubby! You look great by the way...can't wait to see the rest!
