NYC

 Girls trip to NYC was a BLAST!! I seriously love that city and hope to make it a tradition to visit every year! There were nine of us girls and little Stella! When we first arrived, we took the air train to the subway to get to Manhattan. When we arrived at the subway station it was SO packed! We later found out that lightning had struck one of the subways and everyone was directed into our subway, ya NOT! There were these very nice gentlemen, who were all attorneys, that got directed to our subway (very lucky for us) that were hysterical! My sister n law said it was like an episode out of Seinfeld- it really was! Anyways, the one man standing up in the picture was so nice that he walked us all the way to our hotel!! The one gentlemen on the right hand side of the pick all the way in the back was another guy we picked up all the way back from the airport! He was from Scotland and had no idea where he was going! We told him stick with us we will help you- RIGHT! (the attorneys helped him as well)
 Central Park was AMAZING! I love that place and could spend all day there! We had such a good time just strolling through the park and looking at all the beauty!




 Time Square was a lot of fun as well! So so so many people and tons of stuff to do! I had to take a pic with Elmo and Cookie for Pearl!
Brooklyn Bridge
 The lovely Occupy Wall Street protestors! Who we later got stuck on the Brooklyn Bridge with! They closed the Manhattan side of the bridge and wouldn't let anyone get back into Manhattan so we had to walk to the Brooklyn side and ended up finding a cab to take back into the city. We did get to see a small section of Brooklyn which was very pretty!

700 people got arrested that day! They were backing in city buses from Brooklyn to help take these guys to jail. All in all it was a crazy experience and was amazing to see that many people protesting! 





 I love all of the beautiful potted plants there! They are all over the place!
 Took this pic for Aaron :)

 This was a bakery in Little Italy











The best burger I have ever had!! Seriously so good! I was very sad to find out that there only location was in the New York Times building :( Guess I will have to go back!!
 The whole group of us at Time Square!! So many memories!!!! We hope to all do it again!!!
