Brian’s family came in for a weekend to see the sights of New York City. There was a lot to pack in, so we were of course beat by Monday. Friday night started off with a wonderful dinner at their hotel, complete with wine, steak, dessert, and coffee. I love big luxurious meals!

Saturday morning entailed a large breakfast, a train ride to Grand Central, and tour to the top of the Rock! I had never been to the top of the Rockefeller building, and it was quite (windy) fantastic. Around mid-day, Brian’s dad bought us all a pass to the hop on hop off tour buses that ride around town. We had a fantastic time learning about the city’s history. Evening rolled around and we made our way to Broadway for a showing of “Spamalot”. I laughed a lot, I mean, who didn’t. It’s a musical performance of Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

Sunday involved sleeping in a bit and joining in on a Champagne brunch (ooh la la - never had one of those before). We made our way into the city again to hop back on a bus for a bit. The rest of the afternoon was spent in Little Italy and China Town.

It was definitely a lot to take in, I’m sure. And, the one thing I learned is we cannot travel like that on our trip (I knew before, but this was just a reminder). Just writing this now I had trouble remembering what all we did!

There are only 6 glorious months until our trip now!
