Well all I can say is we had such a fun trip! New York is such a fun place to visit. It is seriously the city that never sleeps. The only thing about the whole trip that was hard was the red eye flight. We got into JFK at 5:01 a.m.--early right? We weren't tired that day but the next day it took a huge toll on us. Also, that same morning we flew we went straight to Regis and Kelly! Exciting...no! They took stand by numbers 1-60 and low and behold me and Jared were 61 and 62! :( I seriously was trying to hold back the tears! Oh well!
So we packed a lot into our days and nights! We went to Wicked the first night and it was so so good. We both loved it. Then we did a bunch of other stuff David Letterman, Ground Zero, Time Square, Chinatown, The Today Show concert series with Natasha Beddingfield(who was so awesome live), and just some downtown shopping!!! But I would have to say the highlight of the trip was the Yankees game! We loved it! It was such a good game! We saw two home runs by the Yankees--A Rod and Cano! And the Yankees won 7 to 1 against the Oakland A's. The new Yankee stadium looks pretty sweet!
We owe the biggest thank you to Gary and Melanie! Our friends that we met at BYU our first semester at Wyview. Gary is doing an internship in the City for a law firm. They lived right in the city and it was so fun to have that experience. It was fun to go home to an apartment in the city and get buzzed in...we felt like true New Yorkians! They were the best hosts! They live in the city so they new a ton of great places to eat and visit. They were so much fun. It was so good to be with Mel too. She is such a fun friend and it is just so easy with her. She is such a good mom and I always learn my best parenting skills from her. And Gary is so fun. He always keeps us laughing. :)
Okay so the last night we were there we went to watch Heart N Soul compete. It was so awesome we took 12 or 13 dances and only one dance didn't place, and then we got two 2nd places, and the rest were 1st! :) They also give out 3 over $1,000 awards and HNS got 2 of them! It was so fun to watch the girls hard work pay off. They were so excited...but it was even better to watch Diane. She was on cloud 9! Congrats girls!!
So all in all it was such a fun trip. Me and Jared totally felt like we mastered the subway system. Whenever we got off and we were at our correct destination it felt so good lol! So I would have to say the best part of the whole trip was probably being with just Jared. NO kids to distract us. We had never left our kids so it was weird not having to worry about naps, and sippy cups, and Cinderella. :) It felt like old times! We need to say thanks to everyone who helped with the kids. You are all awesome. Especially to Lacey!! Your the best! We can't wait to go again! LOL

Sounds like you guys had a BLAST! And I must admit...I'm a tad jealous. I mean, you went to Serendipity without me? Kate, you know better than that. I'm going to have to call and get all the details - my parents are going for their 25th wedding anniversary and need tips on what to and not to do. Next time maybe we ought to make it a girls trip! :)
I'm so jealous, I bet you guys had a smashing good time. I would love to go to a Yankees ball game. I heard that wicked is really good, I think it's coming to Utah. Anywho just wanted to drop in and say "HI" hope things are great. Chat with you later
HOW FUN!! I am so glad you went! I am sad that you didn't get to go to teh Regis and Kelly show... but so jealous that you went all those other places. Wicked!! Are you kidding me! HOW FUN!! I am also jealous that you went to a Yankees game. I love the picture with you and Jared at the game. You are so cute!! I am sure you had a great time, and I bet it was fun to have a break from the kids. You are such a great mom, you deserve it!! Now that you are home, we need to go play!
So jealous. You look like you had a great time!
How fun! It looks like you guys had a blast! Maybe someday I will get to see what New York is like! How sad that you missed Regis and Kelly. That just means you will have to go again just so you can see it!
Looks like you guys have lots of fun...Brett and I are wondering how you could wear a Yankee shirt and smile? I bet Boston was sad when he saw that picture. He would much rather you have a Red Sox shirt one.:):)
k so i was totally fine about not going with you. but now im really jealous. it looks like you and jared had fun. i need a fun trip to go on with richard. maybe someday.
So jealous! It looks like you guys had a really fun time!
That looks like so much fun. I am so jealous. It is so fun to get away and with no kids. Good for you!! Brad and I are getting away without Ryder this week. The Trek isn't really New York.
Sounds like you had a blast! Isn't amazing how you forget how much fun you can have with your spouse without any kids to distract you? I thinkg getting away is the best thing you can do for a marriage! I loved the pictures! And Congrats to HNS!!!
So you came all the way to the east coast and didn't call to say hey? Just kidding, after reading your blog it is clear that your days and nights were packed! That picture of you guys at the game is super cute. Did you just LOVE Wicked? It's the best! We need to catch up so give me a call when you have a spare moment!
AWESOME! Is all I can say. What a fun trip. I only have been there once, and I want to go back with Cam though. Its always fun to be with the one you love.
I have just been bouncing back and forth from blog to blog and came to yours. I hope you don't mind me leaving a comment! The only time I have been to NY was with you guys at Heart N Soul like 5 years ago. It was a blast then and I am glad that you have gotten to go back. You have such a cute family! They have grown alot since I saw them last year at the pool!
I've always wanted to go to New York, and now you've made me want to go even more. Sounds like you guys had an awesome time.
