Love in the Big Apple

Me and My Love
Thanks to a good friend getting hitched, Troy and I got to escape to New York City and the Jersey shore...kidless. Haleluja! It was a fabulous, whirlwind adventure in the Big Apple and Jersey Shore. I forgot what it was like to walk hand in hand with my hubby and cuddle while sitting next to each other and actually have conversation without getting interupted by whining or a poopy diaper. It made us realize - hey, we actually do like each other and there's a reason we fell in love in the first place. The flame has been rekindled. If you aren't having those thoughts about your spouse these days, it's time to book a night away to be reminded.

Trip Highlights: strolling the streets of Soho with Meg Ryan...stalking stars with the paparazzi outside a swanky hotel - Ronaldinho (Brazilian soccer player) and Fergie...jamming to Black Eyed Peas Live on the Today Show (with thousands of screaming fans)...dining at the star-studded Nobu Sushi...Troy hitting the Mets game and golfing with the Guys...lunch at the Waldorf...Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity (twice)...seeing a friend perform as the lead in the Fantastiks on Broadway...wild pedi-cab ride around the city...serenading waiters at Ellen's Diner...World Trade Center St. Paul's Chapel (love my new heart box charm necklace)...Wall Street and Battery Park with views of Lady Liberty...lots of shopping...Fabulous Food (neverending feast)...hanging with great family and friends we love and to top it all off, attending the Wedding of all Weddings (see post below).
This one's for Christian, our Batman fanatic - yes, Grandpa requested to be kicked in the groin (in not so appropriate words).

You had SO much fun! I really liked reading your post. Im glad you got to go...just the two of you. I used to always hum the tune 'Just the two of us...We can make it if we try...Just the two of us...You and I,' when we traveled. Now there's 3 of us! Good for you guys, and you did so much stuff. NYC is such a romantic place too...perfect getaway.
