New York - kids = ADVENTURE!
Christian and I had the BEST time EVER in New York! I keep having dreams of us being there again or on a plane on our way there. It's bad...I REALLY want to go back! It may just be that I want another vacation with just Christian and I. I have never wanted to leave my kids for any period of time and I was actually dreading this trip BUT it was so great to explore this HUGE city without the kids!
Here's what we did...We got on and off a double-decker tour bus for three days. We toured Downtown & Uptown Manhatten, Harlem, & Brooklyn. We, of course, took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty! We went to the Empire State Building to see it but went to the 'Top of the Rock' to get a view of the city. AMAZING! We checked out Times Square which was OKAY...a good look and we are good for life! And then we went to the Majestic Theatre and saw "The Phantom of the Opera"! BUT the best part of our trip was when we rented bikes and rode around Central Park for a couple of hours. It was so neat to see that GINORMOUS park, lay down and just enjoy our time there, and then see all the famous areas there.
Okay I'm getting too wordy so I'll just post some pictures! We seriously had such a good time!

P.S. Magnolia Bakery is to DIE for! My mouth is watering thinking of their Red Velvet cupcakes with light, whipped cream cheese frosting. Oh my goodness...SOOOO GOOD!

Fun! And I'm totally jealous you got to explore a big city with just your hubby. That sounds awesome. Someday, someday...
Fun fun fun!!! I'm so jealous you saw PHANTOM. That is my favorite musical of ALL TIME! Glad you had such a fun time! I love vacations! :)
Nice to see you two in some pictures on the blog. There are always so full of our kids. I love that you are getting that Thayne cute long skinny face. I want that. someday maybe. I'm glad you had fun. I saw New York in the mini land at Lego Land. Does that count?
Now that you've had some, you'll want to do it every year!
cute blog and your family is growing so fast.
Fun!! I saw Phantom when in was in SLC like 6 years ago and I totally want to see it again. That is cool you were able to go on a vacation with out the kids. I think everyone needs that!
I think after Adam and I get done having babies, we will make it a priority to go on a big trip every year. YOUR trip looks so fun and makes me long to go there...
That looks like so much fun! I am so glad that you got to go with just your hubby. NYC is really a great place to visit.
That looks like SO much fun! I am so jealous of you guys! Just looking at your pictures makes me want to go there!
