NYC

I'm not really a "gifts" girl. I do appreciate a well-thought gift.  Lately Daniel has started giving me "experience" gifts for birthdays/Christmas/anniversary/etc. This year for our anniversary he surprised me with a trip to NYC! It was for 2 days and 1 night. We had the best time! We left our sweet Emma with Daniel's family (and she had a blast--they spoil her rotten :) !). We had been in town for his sister's college graduation and it just made sense to go ahead and leave her as we had Daniel's work Christmas party to attend. And then we flew out the next morning! We jam packed a lot into our two days! We mostly stayed in mid-town and the Upper East Side. I am a big NBC fanatic so we went by 30 Rock about 10 times while we were there to see the big tree! It was so festive to be in NYC while it was all lit up for Christmastime!

30 Rock!



Times Square--I realize we are super touristy!



Watching the ice skaters and enjoying the Winter Fair at Bryant Park.



Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I love love love the parade!

I recently read a book about the rise and fall of the Vanderbilts and this is the only surviving structure from their 5th Avenue mansions.

The Disney store was decked out--it was perfection! (Poor Daniel--he was such a good sport to go with me!

A couple got engaged while we were there watching!

We had the best time in the world! We stayed at the Sanctuary Hotel and it was so fun! I highly recommend a Christmastime NYC visit--we had so much fun and it was a great getaway! But, at the end of the trip I was so happy to go pick up our girl! And I think she was happy to see Mommy too!
