Part of Christian's graduation present was a trip to NYC WITHOUT the kid.
Friday night we dropped Berkey off with his Auntie G and Aunt Stefy.
Saturday we were up at 4 a.m. on the 6:30 a.m. Lucky Star Bus to the big(ger) city.
We arrived at 10:30 a.m. grabbed some grub and headed to the MoMa. This trip was all about doing "big kid" things; things you couldn't do with a 3 year old around. We enjoyed lots of fabulous art from very famous artists around the world. We even saw the very famous Starry Night, which did not disappoint.
From there we headed to time square to pick up some tickets for a show. I REALLY wanted to see Newsies, a childhood favorite for both of us. It wasn't on the TKTS board, but we met a guy who knew a guy and he hooked us up!
We had excellent seats, and even spotted Al Pachino in the audience. The show was
AMAZING!!!
I loved every second of it! The dancing was unbelievable; I could see a Broadway show every night.
We stayed up late, cause we could, and roamed the city doing all the touristy stuff.
Sunday morning we headed to the Bronx for a visit to the New York Botanical Gardens to see the Monet exhibit.
The Botanical Gardens were BEAUTIFUL! They recreated Monet's gardens and had amazing flowers, trees, rose gardens and so much more.
Sadly the time when too quickly. We left NYC at 4:00 p.m. and got our kid by 10:30p.m. It was a very tiring weekend, but it was so much fun to get away just the two of us.
We cant thank Auntie G and Aunt Stefy who spoiled the kid the way good Aunties do.
