Andrew and I got married on 6.5.04. (It was an easy anniverary date to remember :) Which means that we have been married for 5 years! So, we dropped Madeline off at Andrew's parents house (sniff sniff) and we drove 4 1/2 hours up to New York City! We had a blast. We got to NYC on Friday evening. It was very rainy. But, we headed out with an umbrella and went to Times Square to look around a little bit. We considered standing in the loooonnnggg TCKTS line to get cheap broadway show tickets. But, we didn't see anything that we really liked. So, we just walked around and ate dinner at a pizza shop across from our hotel.
On Saturday, we first headed to Central Park. We did a lot of walking and really only made it up about half way through the park.
We also did a lot of people watching.
It was fun to just meander through the park.
After we found our way out of the park, we hopped on the Subway and headed south to Ground Zero. Andrew found the Bull outside of JP Morgan. And so did everyone else. So, we ended up with a picture of Andrew, the bull and this wonderful family whom we don't know. Close enough.
We headed over to Wall Street. Andrew was disappointed we didn't make it to the NY Stock Exchange in time on Friday to see the trading. Perhaps another time.
Then we walked on over to Battery Park. We saw the Statue of Liberty and then sat for a little while because our feet were a tired.
We headed back up to Times Square. Ate dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. And then got ready for Wicked. This was the view out of our hotel window. We were about a 2 minute walk from the theater.
Wicked was a great musical. It was really fun and the music was great! I would highly recommend it.
On Saturday morning, we got ready in time to get our free breakfast and then got ready to go home. We got our car out of parking and the window broke. Something cracked and it basically just fell down into the car door.
I was very impressed with Andrew's handy man skills. He took the door apart and pulled the window back up. Amazingly enough, it stayed up the entire way home. That could have been a very windy ride home. We got an estimate to get it fixed. It was going to be about $600. So, we just ordered the part online and we are going to put it in next time we go down to visit my parents. That should save us about $550. In the mean time. It is being held up by a little duct tape. It should be an exciting week with all of the thunderstorms we are supposed to get.:) Hopefully the tape does it's job.
Anyways, we had a wonderful anniversary. It was good for us to get away, just the two of us. But, we were very excited to see Madeline when we got back home.

Oh what fun!! No wonder you didn't return my voicemails.. you are out and about in the Big Apple. So didya take a bite? It sounded tasty! Congrats on 5 years! Wow, it feels like yesterday that I got off the plane from VZ just in time to squeeze into that cute red dress. :)
Wow, you all got some great shots! Looks like you had a great time.
love the NY pictures...we had the same experience on our car, but it happened in January when we were out of town, which made for a cold ride home!!! It was soooo expensive to fix and it took the Volvo dealership about two weeks to fix! We got rid of the car a few months later!
wow, how fun!
