I Love NY!
Girls trip to the city...

Okay, I'm really behind on blogging but I wanted to get this post in while I had a minute. In May, three of my good friends (Melanie Teeples, Heather Dominguez, and Alene Connor) did a girl's day in the city. That's right...no kids crying, wiping their noses on us...no back pain from holding the babies...It was FABULOUS!

Our day started out by parking up by the temple. We stopped in to use the "facilities", got yelled at by the Beehive clothing lady, and were on our way...

Next, we hopped on the subway and went downtown to Canal Street...one of my favorite shopping spots.

Here are some of the fruits of our very hard, negotiating labors. We each got a new purse! We also came home with sunglasses, jewelry, scarves, etc. SO MUCH FUN!! We were so proud of Alene for getting wild and crazy with her zebra purse. Work it girl!

After grabbing some pizza in Little Italy for lunch, we took the subway back up to Central Park. None of us had ever been on a carriage ride so we hopped on and got a fabulous tour of the park. With the exception of me having an allergy attack from the horse, it was a great time.
After killing a little time in the park, we got cleaned up and had dinner at a terrific restaurant that Heather recommended called Mama Rosa's. Oh my, can we say DE-LISH?!
To finish out the night, we went to Lincoln Center to watch the musical, South Pacific. It was SUCH a fun show. We had an absolute blast. I think I'm ready for our next girl's day out!

I'm so unbelievably jealous right now! I have been craving NY for a while now:( I just don't think Christmas in NY is as fun as spring, summer or fall:( And I think Christmas might be the only time we will be able to go. Oh well. It looks like you had so much fun and lets be honest you deserve it! I love you!
