Trip to NYC

As most of you already know, this is a BIG birthday year for me. My mother got us girls (my mom, sister, sister in law, and myself) tickets to see Jersey Boys on Broadway to celebrate. We made it into the city on Saturday afternoon, and stayed the night at the Manhattan Club on 57th Street - very close to Carnegie Hall. We had a great time exploring the city. Dinner was another treat - eating at Mom & Dad's favorite NYC Italian Restaurant. Yum! Wouldn't you know my dear dear sister would get us such lovely glasses so that we could tell the world that this was our BIG birthday year! It was a fun night. A bit tricky to see out the 4, but maybe the wine and zambucca shot played a part in that!



The next day we took a morning stroll in Central Park. We had afternoon tickets to see Jersey Boys. (We stopped in to Stage Deli for some lunch on the way - yum again! Nothing like a NY Reuben!) Mom had given us all the Jersey Boys CD for Christmas so we were familiar with most of the music. FABULOUS show! Great story, quick moving, great music - WOW! Go see it if you have the opportunity! We were singing the music all night! Oh What a Night!


Had to laugh at the sign on the wall as we entered the theater...


After the show, we split up to head home. Rebecca and I took the train to DC, and then I headed home in the morning. I played my CD the entire way home. A quick weekend, but one we will remember forever!!!
