New York City!!

Whenever I hear the word “New York” I can’t help but think of Alicia Keys’ song, so as I write this, I’m also singing that awesome song in my head. My husband is just the best – that’s pretty much all I need to write, but I’ll write a few details for my own poor memory! Here are some highlights:

 

• A train ride where we could talk (uninterrupted), read (also uninterrupted) and sleep (yet again, uninterrupted), and I didn’t have to get mad at Geoff for his “defensive” driving

• NY pizza at 3am (I can’t remember the last time I was willingly up at 3am)

• Seeing a lot of Faith, one of my very favorite UVA friends, who helped Geoff with a lot of the trip planning

• Phantom of the Opera – AMAZING! Goodness, I love that play!

• Yummy food at Penelope’s and Rue 57

• Really good guacamole at a Mexican restaurant

• Our own progressive dinner at 3 different restaurants with tasty food, dessert and wine

• A chance to reflect at the 9/11 Memorial

• Walking through Central Park and down time to just explore the city

• Cool weather

• A view of Times Square from the hotel window

• People watching

• Quality time with my husband

• Knowing our babies were well taken care of by their grandparents

• Picking up my two babies at Union Station and riding the rest of the way home with them

 

It was such a great and refreshing trip. I feel so blessed and loved.
