New York City

Shawn and I just spent the last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednsday living it up in New York City. Since our 6th anniversary was a couple weeks ago, we decided to treat ourselves to a New York get-a-way. Thanks to my parents for flying out here to watch Fox and Jayde, we were able to go and have a great time. We flew in Monday morning and as we walked off the airplane into the terminal, Shawn saw Jerome Bettis, a retired Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back, who is also one of the best all-time running backs in the NFL. The Steelers is Shawn's favorite football team, so you better believe he looked like a kid at Christmas time.

So we were off to a great start. We tried a lot of new places to eat this trip, some were good, some not so much. However, we did go to Lombardi's pizza, which is known as America's first pizzaria. Good place. Of course we did a lot of shopping and saw the sites.

One of the most fun things for me to do when we are in NYC is ride the Subway. I am always amazed at the whole new world the Subway system brings. The city itself is amazing, but add the Subway system and I think of it as a city underneath a city. I LOVE IT!!!

We went to 3 broadway plays this trip. Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, and Mamma Mia. They were all SO good. I love going to broadway plays. If you don't have small children with you, then you can't leave NYC without seeing at least one show.

After we got out of The Lion King, we were walking to get on the Subway and ran into a crowd. Come to find out Daniel Radcliff, the kid who plays Harry Potter in the movies, was there getting into his vehicle. I don't know if he was coming out of a play or what, but he was signing autographs and he looked like a deer caught in head lights. So we thought we would join in wth the paparazzi. We didn't get a very good picture though, so if you are wondering exactly who he is click here to see a better picture.

We love NYC. There are so many interesting people to see there, from the beggers in the Subways who come in many different forms, to the famous people you might catch a glimpse of on the streets. There is never a dull moment when you go there. We can't wait to go back.
