Ok, so here are a few of my favorite pictures...
I thought this picture captured the essence of Jamie's and I's marriage:
This is what we did the most of the entire trip- WALK! I have never walked so much in my life!
Jamie was oddly excited to see the Stock Exchange building on Wall Street...
And he even rode the bull in front of the Merril Lynch building!
We walked through Central Park and took some pictures in the beautiful Fall scenery!
Here is the Macy's store where we almost lost our sanity shopping on "Black Friday"!
We visited Ground Zero and saw the site where the Twin Towers used to stand.
Here we are on the Staten Island Ferry going to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was so FUN! The crowd was insane but the floats and huge balloons (and a few celebrities) made it worth it all.
And we saw SANTA...!
After the parade we went back to Sam and Jason's apartment to whip up an amazing Thanksgiving dinner- complete with stuffing and all the tasty fixin's!
We sat down for a yummy dinner and Jason said a sweet prayer reminding us how blessed we truly are.
Later in the week Sam took us to her costume shop where she works sewing costumes for all the Broadway theaters.
Here is a costume they were working on for The Grinch (which we actually saw on stage later that week)!
Jamie wouldn't let me ice skate of course, but it was fun to watch everyone else falling on the ice.
Even though Broadway is on strike we still were able to see some great shows. We saw Pygmalian (the story of My Fair Lady starring Claire Danes), The Grinch and The Rockettes Christmas Spectatcular. They were all wonderful shows and we had great seats!
Jason's sister, Juli, kept us laughing the whole trip- she is such a spaz! Here she is having a mini-melt down in the sidewalk because she couldn't find her gloves! (And we actually just came out of this cajun restaurant here where they just happened to be playing the Razorback vs LSU game and we got to see the last quarter and overtime! And we were sitting next to some people from Lousiana- it was perfect!)
We finished our last day there with tons of shopping (shoes and handbags galore!) and tried to hang on to the last moments of our trip... here is the view from Sam and Jason's apartment.

Sights from Times Square...
We went to the Rockefeller Center to see the ice skaters and HUGE Christmas tree.
Jamie wouldn't let me ice skate of course, but it was fun to watch everyone else falling on the ice.
Friday morning we got up early to go to the Today Show and got a glimpse of Stacy London from What Not to Wear.
Even though Broadway is on strike we still were able to see some great shows. We saw Pygmalian (the story of My Fair Lady starring Claire Danes), The Grinch and The Rockettes Christmas Spectatcular. They were all wonderful shows and we had great seats!
We spent alot of good times on the Subway...!

We had SO much delicious food in the city, but our last morning there we went for brunch at a cute cafe in Greenvich Village and it was by far the best meal of the week!
We finished our last day there with tons of shopping (shoes and handbags galore!) and tried to hang on to the last moments of our trip... here is the view from Sam and Jason's apartment.
It truly was the perfect "last" trip for us (before baby Audrie arrives). We are so thankful for Sam and Jason's tremendous hospitality and true friendship. We'll miss them...
