We had a BLAST in New York!!! We really do just love it there! We flew out on Sunday the 7th @ midnight and we arrived @ 5:30 am. It was SOOOO COLD!!!! Anyway, we took a death ride in a taxi (I literally was holding on for dear life) to our hotel. We weren't supposed to check in until 3, but this nice man found us a room. We were so grateful, we were so tired that we took a 4 hour nap. When we woke up and walked outside we realized that our hotel was a block away from Time Square!! Since this was Bryce's 4th time and my 2nd time, we didn't do all of the tourist stuff. On Monday we went to Bryce's uncle Glen's house and he helped us plan a couple of things to do. We also went and saw Rockefeller Center and 5th Ave. We didn't do much that night since we were still way tired. On Tuesday we took the subway down to Chinatown. Which for those who know me, know that I'm a GERM FREAK and the subway was so NASTY!!!! While we were in Chinatown we thought that we would try to get me a Prada purse and Bryce a Rolex watch. We found the people who were selling the purses and I told them I wanted one so they said follow me. We walked 6 blocks and they led us down some dark allyway and they wanted us to go upstairs. Bryce and I didn't want to go up but this lady came behind me and started pushing me up the stairs, we finally just walked away. We did go back on Thursday and bought me a purse from someone else. And it wasn't nearly as scary. :) And we also got Bryce a Rolex in an ally with about 4 HUGE guys in the distance watching us to make sure we didn't run away with the watches. On Wednesday we were also able to go to the Late Show with David Letterman, which was really fun!! And Thursday we went and saw the taping for the Today Show. And since we flew home on Thursday night we didn't have much to do so we walked from Chinatown back to Time Square which was 60 blocks!! We had so much fun walking, we weren't in the touristy part and saw how normal life would be there. We would actually save about $1000 a month if we moved there. Rent is cheaper than our mortgage, no car payment, no car or home owners insurance and no gas! We talk about moving there for about 2 years all the time, but I don't think it would really happen, but who knows. Sorry about the novel, there was just so much to tell!!!
There was a little ice skating rink in the middle of the city
Right before the Late Show
Just for Fun!
The same little ice rink
