the big NYC!!

NEEEWWWW YORK!!!
So, we decided to stop in New York this year when we traveled back east to see Ryan's Parents. Seeing as it was my first time really in New York (other than the airport) we did the whole tourist type thing. We had a wrench threw in our plans when we got stuck in Las Vegas for six hours after our flight got canceled and we had to wait for the next one out.  But despite that over all it was a fun time! 
We went to the top of the Empire State building...all the way up to the look over the top of the city! We went to Time Square, where we stood in line FOREVER ...or so it seemed. But we ended up with tickets 50% off to see Elf...the Broadway show version.  It was fun, I laughed... a lot, and Ryan go to see his friend that played Buddy the Elf.  After the show we went to see the big tree at the Rockefeller Center, and let me tell you there were TONS of people there!!  That night we also did Top of the Rock,  which is the Rockefeller building or the NBC building.  It was awesome!  That's where the night photos of the city came from.  They let you go all the way to the top, and they don't have the fences around like they do at the top of the Empire State building. The view is amazing. I think that was by far one of my favorite things.  I liked seeing the city at night more than during the day, just more romantic or something I guess :)  Anyway.....I think that's about it for the quick rundown of our whirlwind trip to New York.  Oh! We also went to Junior's for a piece of famous New York cheesecake.  You can't really leave New York without having a piece can you??? So there are a few photos from our trip!!
