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 B
roadway 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.

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
Two pictures from the Museum of Natural History.

Me and my bros!!
So I was watching Oprah a few weeks ago and she did a segment with Hilary Swank where she cut her hair and donated it to Pantene so they can make wigs for women and children with cancer. I had already been growing out my hair for Locks of Love and decided to read about Pantene's idea on their website. There you only had to cut off eight inches as opposed to Locks of Love where you have to cut of 10. I decided eight would be easier and faster and I was ready to cut my hair. SO yesterday I went and got it chopped and I love it! My hair is on it way to Pantene now! I ended up cutting about 10 inches by the time it was trimmed anways!Check out Pantene's website if you think you might want to try it too!!
