New York City

Last Saturday while my brothers were in town we drove to NYC. I love the city and was so excited to go. especially since Jason and my best friend Jessica were able to come with us too. We left at 6 am so we could have plenty of time to hang out and explore the city. Jess and I drove on the way up while the boys all snoozed.
We went to the New Jersey Transit and rode the train in to Penn Station. Our first stop was the Statue of Liberty, but the line to get onto the ferry was 2 hours long and that was just to walk around the base; the tickets to go inside were all sold out. So we took some pictures of the statue from the park and went to our next destination.

I love this picture of Alex. It looks like he is holding the Statue of Liberty.
They had the most gorgeous tulips all over the parks in the city and tulips are my FAVORITE flowers.
We went to the site of the World Trade Centers and a memorial museum where I bawled my eyes out. Literally. I was glad I brought my makeup with me because I had to redo it after. They had a model of the memorial they are going to build on the site and it will be so beautiful when it is done. I was glad we did it early so the rest of the day was a happy day.
Then we jumped on the subway and went to China Town and Little Italy and had lunch at a delicious Italian restaurant. You can't really tell from this small picture, but Drew had spaghetti sauce all around his mouth like a clown. It was so funny.
After our tummys were full we headed to Central Park. Since we didn't have a lot of time, we decided to take a rickshaw through the park. It was awesome. I totally recommend it to anyone who goes to New York. It was probably my favorite thing we did all day and worth every penny. Our tour guide was friendly and funny and took us to all the best parts of the park. Not only did we get to see all of the park, but he stopped at the best spots and let us get out and walk around and take pictures.
In front of the "Friends" fountain.
Jason didn't go on the rickshaw with us and when we came back we found him like this! We were cracking up, it was so funny. He was just leaning up against this statue sound asleep looking just like a bum! lol
After we woke Jason up we watched some street performers and then headed to Times Square.



After a quick dinner, Jessica, Jason and I went and saw Wicked!!!! It was awesome, we loved it. Alex and Andrew went back to Times Square and then saw a comedy show and they said it was hysterical.
We had so much fun in NYC. The weather was perfect and we were able to do everything we wanted to do. We didn't get home until 4 am and the girls woke up early, but it was so worth it:)
