I'm baaaaaaack!

Hey friends! I'm back to reality and it's a big bummer. Our vacation was a blast though and I thought I'd update with NYC pix first and then Bermuda. It was like 2 totally different trips...and they were awesome!!! Thank you all for the tips on NY, it helped alot :)

These pictures are of downtown in Times Square...we did some great shopping!! We mastered the subway, and we rode the red double decker bus one day in order to see the whole city.

Here is a view from the top of the Empire State Building. WOW. What a HUGE city and outskirts...it was a site!
NY pizza of course...and with my fabulous friend Charissa. It was great to see her and spend time with her adorable family. LOVE you guys!!
Central Park. I loved this place :)

The Metropolitan museum.

Eating dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. I bought shirts for Charissa and I from the cafe. Fun memories forever!!

Eating with Charissa and Bryce at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory. Yummy!! Good food and great company.

We had a blast in NYC. It was a fun place to be, but busy, big, dirty and crazy..and still a little bit too cold!! Charissa and Bryce were great hosts and Averie is such a doll. We miss ya already.

It was a fun couple of days and we accomplished alot. We also went saw China Town, Wall Street, and a few other fun sites...but my favorite of all was seeing Broadway's

WICKED

I loved it. It was so good and I can't wait to see it again!

Thank you New York. Until next time...

How fun, maybe we will do that someday. But it looks way cold though

I looked and looked for you! We might've been in adjacent dressing rooms at H&M! Glad you had fun...

I'm glad you're back and can't wait to see more pictures. I've been to NYC one time and didn't get to do as much as I wanted to. I want to go again it looks so fun!

Looks like you had one awesome trip! My mouth was watering when you mentioned Bubba Gumps....we LOVE that place and so far have eaten there in Hawaii and Cancun. I can't wait to see more pictures and hear more about the rest of your trip. I know I missed all your posting while you were gone! You look darling in all of your pictures!

Looks like you had a wonderful time. I love NYC. There's so much to do and always so little time. Cute pics of you and your hubby. Looks like you had a romantic little vacation.

Glad you made it back safe and I am SO JEALOUS of your trip. I have only been to NYC when it is so cold you feel like your legs might stop working and you are so grateful to get down in the stinky subway just to warm up....so I feel your pain. It looks like so much fun though.

I want to hear about BERMUDA now.

shauna said...

Girl, you know how to travel in style!

I heart NY and it looks like you do too.

Are you survivin' the post vacation blues? Still need a little laugh? This might do it.

So glad you are back.

Jill, I debated about deleting my comment because I was afraid it came across rudely, and that you would feel like it was aimed straight at you. That wasn't my intention. I obviously don't "understand" what it's like to try for 7 years to have a baby. I understand that it would make you crazy to hear people complain about something that you want so badly. I think that everyone probably feels that way about one thing or another. Everyone has something that is really really hard for them, whether you can see it or not. And we all say dumb things sometimes. I only wanted to point out that it's probably the SITUATION that frustrates you, and there's not necessarily anything wrong with the PEOPLE who do the complaining. I can obviously see why you would be frustrated though, and you're right it stinks! Life can be so hard! Please forgive me if I offended you by leaving a blunt comment to your question. I like you a lot and wouldn't want to make you think otherwise!

sounds like you had a ton of fun. glad your back safe.

Emily said...

I want to go to NY and so does Bryson! I think that would be my fav trip...NYC and then a warm cruise! :) Can't wait for those pics!

erin said...

Sooo glad you're back. Blogging isn't as fun without you. And are you getting the blogapalooza e-mails? I haven't seen any responses... e-mail me.

Jylaire said...

So glad you're back, and that you had a great time! Sounds like a fun, romantic vacation!

Camille said...

I'm glad you're back, but the bummer for me was seeing what an awesome trip you had! And wicked?? You are killing me!

did you love H&M? I love that store and wish we had one in Utah. Looks like you had fun in NY. My favorite place to visit.

chrissy said...

Something in my head just clicked...My sister just got back from NY and Bermuda, too. Did you go on the SU cruise??

I'm glad you guys had fun!

Carlotta said...

Glad to have you back from paradise! I know I am not suppose to covet but I am whole heartedly coveting the fact that you went on a vacation! I will continue to go on a vacation in my dreams. It's good to get some R&R with your hubby. What a renewel. Of course it is always good to come back to your little man.
