The Big Apple

Thanks to the help of Dad Santini, JD and I were able to go to New York for the weekend while in DC for the summer. You would have never known that we were only there for a weekend with the millions of pictures we took!


We traveled to and from New York City by train.





Who knew that Lady Liberty's twin is so styling?
This is a deli I have to go to every time I go to New York. It was JD's first time there- he had no idea the blissful carnivorous experience that awaited.

What girl doesn't want a pink sparkly Barbie house?
More meat-- we enjoyed a dinner at a Brazilian steak house. Look at JD's face!

No explanation needed....
A most necessary stop at the Hershey's Chocolate Factory.

Our next stop was the M&M Factory.
We took the subway looking for the Statue of Liberty. We are still unsure how we ended up there, and even more unsure how we ended up back at the hotel. We got a little lost, but we ended up seeing parts of the city we would have never seen!

Part of out "exploration" resulted in running into a rally. That was fun. It was my first rally and I'm not quite sure what it was for, but I was ready to march around with a sign hollerin' for the cause.

Maybe the reason we got lost is that we were too busy snapping pictures of the Subway to pay attention to where it was going....

JD got tickets for The Phantom of the Opera. It was so great- I cried through the whole thing. I grew up on the music. We had awesome seats and I got swept away in the music and the Hershey's chocolate hidden in my purse.
We were told this is the best place to try New York cheesecake. It was heaven.

Even more meat-- notice a theme?
