You need every one of those minutes when visiting New York! Sam and I went last weekend for a 3 day stay and were busy the whole time. We had never been, so we did our best to get around to all the sights and I needed a vacation when vacation was over! We had a good time, saw a lot of fun things, and even missed our flight back and were able to squeeze in one nice, slow dinner! The pictures are long, so I'll try to keep the words short.
Times Square - the first day of pictures are from the iphone. My camera battery was dead and I had to charge it that night. Not great, but at least we got some because we went to some great sights right after we landed and dropped our stuff off.
Rockefellar Plaza. The Today Show studio is surprisingly small, very very small.
Grand Central Station.
Remember this sign from Sleepless in Seattle? Top of the Empire State Bldg.
What's New York without a few trips on the subway?
Ground Zero. They are opening the new memorial on Sept. 11, 11. I can't believe its been 10 years. It was a humbling experience to actually be there and think of those huge buildings coming down and all the people who were killed that day.
New York Stock Exchange.
We walked along the coast wall to see the Statue of Liberty. We decided not to go all the way out to the island since time was short. The pic of me is the only shot we got of it.
The Famous Carnegie Deli and Radio City Music Hall. Yes, we did eat at Carnegie Deli. I wouldn't say it was very good, but the corned beef and pastrami sandwich was HUGE, and I suppose its the experience you go for.
The "Friends" Fountain! Ok, so this is the fountain in Central Park that everybody thinks is the one the show Friends is filmed around. So of course I had to go find it and take a picture, only to discover the fountain in the show is actually a studio prop... not even real! That's right. I guess as long as it keeps drawing thousands of people to it they'll let you keep believing its special!! :-)
Sam bought us awesome tickets to see the Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing! It has been Sam's favorite since he saw it in London, of course this one on Broadway did not disappoint.
Gotta get a hot dog from a street vendor in NYC!
The Guggenheim
The MET - Metropolitan Museum of Art

That looks like so much fun, I can't believe all you guys did! What great memories you must have made. And with those sunglasses on you look just like your mom!
I gave gone every year for several years now and y'all saw more than I have. I can never seem to get past the shopping and the shows.
