New York Trip: Part 2

Nueva York: Parte 2

I'm finally back! Phew! Kids are out of school and I have a little bit of time to update zee blog! Here is Part 2 of my trip to NYC... Better late than never!

Below you will find pictures of my outing in NYC with the lovely Emily Rudolph! BTW she also took some AMAZING pictures of the city, so here is to hoping she sends me some, because she is very talented!

We went by the MET, and I quickly recognized seeing this theater from the moving Black Swan... CREEPY!

This is the other side of the MET. I suppose only a few days ago, celebrities had stepped foot here.. Including Kim K and her sofa fabric dress!

We ended up taking a break from our day walking, by chilling in Central Park. It turned out to be a good day!

This is actually inside MOMA. This view was gorgeous! We did MoMa before Central Park.

I loved this gold ballon, and it inspired what I will do for Matthew's bday! So stay tuned, because it's only a few days away!

All the walking prompted us to develop an appetite. We stopped at this cute little restaurant but we only had a drink since they were closing the place for a private party... BOO!

But we did get inspired by some sassy decor! 

Having failed at getting food at the previous place, we continued walking and then.... it started to RAIN! At this time we kicked it up a notch, and walked into Max Brenners! We got SOOO LUCKY! Right after walking in, it seemed the entire New York followed too. Luckily we snagged a table just in time! 

Max Brenner's is all about CHOCOLATE! And so am I, so it was a match made in HEAVEN! Emily and I split some  onion rings and chocolate ranch! SOOO GOOD!

We then split dessert! And it was FABULOUS! 

This is Emily.

This picture was taken on my last day in NYC! I had so much fun!!!



Until NEXT time! And BTW, I seriously think Steve should apply to NYC Fellowship program! I could live here for a year for sho! Plus, I would already have a JOB!
Just saying! ;)

New York City Trip: Part 1

///Start spreading the news
I am leaving today 
I want to be a part of it 
New York, New York!///

That was the tune in my head a few days ago. And as much as I love me a big city trip, there is nothing more wonderful that being back at home with your family!

I went to New York for the CLA Stationary Show. As some of you know, I work for a Crafting Company based out of New York, and even though, I work from home, I get the opportunity to travel to these trade shows a few times a year. 

Very THANKFUL for my mother in law who came over for 5 days, and made sure my kids (including my furry one) were taken care of. 

I also came home to a CLEAN house, courtesy of Steve! ---I'm LUCKY!---

Here are some pictures of my trip. I will post more later, I took sooo many, that this little post may be a 10 part-er!

But here are a few I took from one of my days off. I ended up staying at my friends home, and although it was a commute each morning, it was nice to be able to navigate the city with someone that knows their way around it.

We did the MoMa museum, and ate at Max Brenner's and had chocolate ranch dressing! Sounds gross, but it was sooo good! 

Here are just a few snapshots, and of my trip. Will put more detail stuff later!

I kind of loved the sign. I have been to NYC before, so it's not new, but I thought it was ironic and kind of artistic to see the homeless man laying next to it. So, I took a pic.

This is a picture of the beautiful architecture of city apartments and brownstones. I think they are classic NYC! And I'm obsessed with the look of fire escapes. I think this is in Union Square.

When I travel to places, I always think if I could live in that place. And if so, where is church? Since church is such a big part of our lives, I like to visit it and feel comforted that there is a place to be closer to God, no matter where you live and that it's familiar. So, Emily and I stopped by the LDS Church! I wanted to attend a service, but I had to work... BOO! 

This is a cute art display at MoMa. It's two huge screens with a baby elephant doing some tricks. It was very beautiful, and heartwarming.

We walked forever!!!!!!!! I was sooo tired! This is me outside of the church. And the weather  was nice this day.

I had a great time, but NYC walking is something else! We must have done 15 miles walking! No joke. We did Broadway, and some other stuff, but I will post later!
