It Felt Like Home!

In April, Logan and I were able to go back to New York City. He had to go for work on a Monday and Tuesday, so we arrived on Saturday morning so we could spend the weekend there too. We stayed in a fancy 4.5 star hotel a couple of blocks away from Rockefeller Plaza and had a great time!

We did a ton of fun stuff; I was quite tired from all of the running around. On Saturday we went to the Empire State Building (something I never did the whole time I lived there), went to our old neighborhood on the Upper West Side - where there happened to be a street fair going on (I have very fond memories of those), walked along Riverside Park where we use to take the boys almost every day, went to Canal Street (just picture lots of hidden rooms filled with Coach and Louis Vuitton purses), and out to eat at some of our favorite spots.

On Sunday we finally got to eat a Norma's breakfast before heading over to our old ward where we saw many of our friends. Later we met up with some of Logan's business school buddies in which we roamed the streets of Soho and had more tasty food.

On Monday I went to Live with Regis and Kelly, visited with my old coworkers at Roosevelt Hospital, went to Bloomingdales and Planet Kids (I had giftcards I had been holding on to in the hopes I would get back to NYC some day), and hung out in Times Square. The worst rain storm I have every seen there happened that day and I got drenched! My pants were wet up to my thighs, but at least I didn't have to push a double stroller around in it (I don't have fond memories of that).

Tuesday I went to The View, back to Canal Street, got a manicure/pedicure, and went to the Broadway play The Little Mermaid. Logan was busy with work the last two days, but we were able to meet up at night together.

We were in and out of there in a New York minute, but we look forward to when we can bring the boys back someday!

The breakfasts at Norma's are huge and yummy!

P.S. I heard a rumor from Kyle and I'm wondering if its true. If it is, yay!!! Except I am seriously offended that he knew before me. ;-)
