I Heart NY!

In honor of David Letterman I thought the best way to summarize my weekend trip to NYC would be a Top Ten list. I present: Top Ten Reasons I Loved my Weekend in NYC

10. The shopping, specifically H&M, Top Shop, and Canal St. (despite the rain)


9. The food - I definitely recommend Penelope's, SaraBeth's, Tramonti, Barbounia, and Magnolia Bakery for future trips. Here are the cupcake options at Magnolia:


8. The bold and aggressive waiter that hit on Kelli throughout our entire meal at Tramonti, I wanted her to go for it to (a) possibly get us a free dinner or (b) possibly get us a free place to stay in an Italian villa I'm sure he owned. Sometimes you gotta take one for the team...I'm just sayin'. (unfortunately no picture of waiter Michael was captured)

7. The never disappointing people-watching opportunities! Such a diverse city, here's batman on his bike-mobile, I'm applaud his decision to go green and dump the bat-mobile.


6. Using my new camera that takes awesome pictures! I think you can only appreciate a good camera after you have endured a not so good camera for some time. This was my first vacation with the Sony W-290 and I love it, here's one of my favorite pics from the weekend:


5. The Easter "parade" of crazy hats and seeing the Easter bunny ice skate in Rockefeller Center. The "parade" wasn't so much a parade but more like lots of people sauntering around in hats in the street. This was my favorite hat:


4. Seeing Clay Aiken's back! Here's the conversation that took place as walked right by us:
Kelli: That's Clay Aiken
Me: Oh yeah, it kind of looks like him
Kelli: No it's really him
Me: What? Dangit he's getting away!
I tried running after him to get a pic but since I was running the picture is blurry, here is his back:


3. Seeing the amazing Lauren Graham in Guys and Dolls. Here's her name on the cast listing on the wall in the theater:


2. Getting to finally experience Wicked! It was amazing and did live up to the hype and yes Kelli I'm sure it changed my life somehow.


1. Catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and the overall excellent travel partners I got to experience the weekend with!
