New York, New York!

It has always been my dream to visit New York. Scott has been to the Big Apple many times for work. Me, never! So Scott surprised me... he arranged for a babysitter (THANKS JAIME!), bought plane tickets and booked a hotel, all without telling me. I was shocked! So here we are a couple of weeks later in New York City! CRAZY! There are a ton of pics, bear with me, I didn't want to leave anything out!

After checking into the hotel we decided to head to Time Square...

My first time using the subway!


Time square was just amazing... I couldn't help but be caught up with all the lights and craziness!



The next morning we headed out and Scott took me around the corner and this was our view, the Empire States Building!


We headed to down town or up town, I don't remember :) and here is the view of the Hudson River.


Ground Zero! Nothing too impressive, a lot of construction.



Scott at Ground Zero...



We didn't go to the Statue of Liberty, but took the Staten Island Ferry and did a drive by. The statue was so small compared to all the big building of New York, but it was very cool to see!





Scott and I enjoying our trip back to the city!


A highlight of my trip, Wicked! I absolutely LOVED the show! Broadway Baby!


Manhattan Temple!




This temple reminds me of the phrase, "in the world, but not of the work." It is amazing to see the church's presence in this Big city!


Central Park!


You see anything and everything happening in the city... A guy proposing to his girlfriend... I think she said yes.


Rockerfeller Plaza!


The next morning we tried to get back to Rockerfeller Plaza to see some of the Today Show... We actually saw Matt Lauer! I even almost got to shake his hand! That's my claim to fame!


Observation deck on Top of The Rock!



Empire States Building


Enjoying the view... I really need to remember to bring better shoes next time... MY FEET WERE KILLING ME!


Brooklyn Bridge!


Yes, we walked across it!


The Brooklyn Bridge taken from Brooklyn!


We started and ended our trip in Time Square!


It was an amazing trip! After visiting NY I know for certain that I never want to live there! I'm a small town girl that likes being in a small town.
