Remember the little thing about leaving for the weekend?
Yeah, well guess where I was! None other than the big apple, New York City, folks! Was it the greatest mother's day present ever? No, not quite but you will here why in a second! ;-)
We left Saturday morning, bright and early after I kissed my Bubba Bear (almost to death). We rode a bus for 5 hours (not the greatest) but totally worth it. Right away we checked out Madison Square Gardens, got lost on the Subway, figured ourselves out, and then hit Times Square! Unfortunately, there was a big event going on in Times Square so we didn't really get to explore.
After Times Square we walked to the hotel and checked in, lost the backpacks, rested our feet and backs for awhile, checked out the overpriced mini/snack bar, freshened up, and then headed out for dinner!
Dinner was great! It was at a nice place across from Rockefeller plaza where we sat outside and enjoyed a meal with our friendly butterfly friends! And, after dinner is when I got "The Best Mother's Day Present Ever", at least to date. We walked down the road a bit to Gershwin Theater where I got to see Wicked for the first time ever, in the 4th row, in New York City! We got pictures and souvenirs, waiting in an insane line for the restroom during intermission, made it back to my seat just in time, and loved every minute of it!
This butterfly landed on my hair bow at one point during our meal but flew away right before Nathan got a picture!
Ice cream was just the best end to the best day at that point so we devoured a pint of Lady Liberty Mint Cookie Ice Cream in Rockefeller plaza. How lovely!
After returning to our lively hotel, which I will just say the Wish New York Hotel has some pretty good nightlife, we joked about me going down and dancing on a table (completely modest dancing) for everyone to try and show up the lovely girl feeling the tunes out there. It was all in fun, really! Nathan fixed up my back with Deep Relief and then we were off to bed a little while later.
The next morning we caught breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts and headed out to Central Park. We had breakfast on a rock overlooking the park, walked around, checked out the carriages, perused around the huge street market, and then hit the subway back to Penn Station.
We had New York pizza (I had a salad) one more time, waiting for our bus for an hour, and then headed home to see my ever so loved little boy.
(Speaking of the little boy, he started crawling today! I will blog about that soon!)
We finished celebrating Nathan's birthday and Mother's Day (both on the same day) by skyping with family, talking on the phone, failing at trying to make Angel Food Cake (Nathan's favorite), and hugging and kissing Kamden (almost to death) again!
P.S. I really have to get this Angel Food Cake thing down, eventually. It's not easy!
We had an awesome weekend full of all things wonderful with the opportunity to celebrate each of us in some special way!
