A trip to New York

Last Thursday, My best friends from HS, went on a girls trip to NY. Our other HS friend, Karin lives in Long Island, so Kim, Cathy and I flew out to see her and then the four of us went into the city until Sunday. I can't even describe the incredible time we had. We jammed as much as we could in four days, and despite the fact that we stayed up laughing until 2:30 in the morning each day, we managed to keep going strong on very little sleep. These pictures are in no particular order.

Karin and I at Tao Restaurant. It was so good and what a hot spot. It was fun to just people watch.

My brother Tim lives in Rye, NY. he, Nico, his wife and my nephew Charlie took the train in and met me at the hotel. It was great to visit him if only for a very short time. I'm so glad we get to see each other again at Thanksgiving.

Our Saturday night out on the town
Lunch at Blue Fin in Time Square on Friday
Karin's house on Long island. it was built around 1860 and is absolutely adorable.

We also went to see Mary Poppins on Friday night on Broadway and it was awesome. I was blown away by the talent. We went shopping on fifth avenue, saw most of the famous buildings like trump towers, park plaza. We could see the Chrysler building and the statue of liberty from the top of the empire state building. We had crisp fall weather on Friday, and it rain on Saturday and was muggy. Sunday was sunny and cold. Our flights were great and the girls held my hands on take offs and landings. I had such a wonderful time and could of used at least one more day. I feel very blessed to have these great women in my life.
