New York City!!

Our trip to NYC was amazing. Brad and I had a great time and can't wait to go back. We only got to do a fraction of all the things that we wanted to do but still got to do a lot of things. Unfortunately due to the writers strike and the Broadway stagehands strike we didn't get to see Dave Letterman or a Broadway show. I was very upset about that but that means we just have to go back. We did get to see an off Broadway show called "Frankenstein" (not to be confused with Broadway's Young Frankenstein). It was very good though. Here are just a few of our pictures. There were places we couldn't take pictures and I figured that twenty pictures for one blog was enough. We went on a NBC studios tour and got to see where they tape Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live. We rode the train down from Syracuse while Paige played with all of her family in the snow. (My mom has all those pictures so I will have to upload them later.) The train ride was beautiful along the Hudson and it was nice to not have to worry about parking while we were there. It was so neat to just walk around in the city. They were starting to decorate the city for Christmas and it looked beautiful everywhere. Central Park was amazing and so beautiful. I am not sure why we waited so long to visit (especially me..growing up in NY and never visiting:) We will be back for sure...it's even hard to write all the things that we did.

We stayed on the top floor of out hotel (41st floor) and here is a look at the street below.
The statue of liberty from the Staten Island Ferry.

These next two pictures are of a commercial, TV show, or movie that they were filming while we were walking through the financial district.

Thinking about what I can get inside the store:)


This is a commercial they were filming in the Financial District for the Hartford Insurance Company..hence the deer on a stick!

A play I would have liked to have seen.
More Times Square!

Brad and I at Rockefeller Center.
All the ice skaters at Rockefeller center. It cost 15 dollars a person plus 10 dollar skate rental so we didn't do it. We decided to save our money for something else. This same night we ate at an Irish pub around the corner and we saw Brian Williams from NBC Nightly News...our only celebrity sighting.





The city at night
