NYC in one day

We went with our friends Cari, Brandon and Kayla to NYC a couple of months ago. We all woke up at the crack, rode a bus jammed full of people and were dropped off at China Town and picked up there that night. It was the most interesting bus experience I've ever had! What topped it was to see Ben's face when he first saw Times Square early in the morning.
(I did a day trip once a couple of years ago but this was Ben's first time)


We were walking around Rockefeller Center and heard some commotion to find this...
Rob Thomas on the Today Show.
You can see him behind his greasy guitarist.
Us girls got in based on these.....
...our good looks. Yes I stopped a cop and weaseled our way passed the gate.

Ben was willing to pose with me at some popular spots. The LOVE sign...(which I really don't know the history of)

Central Park...

The Statue of Liberty...(as close as we were going to get)

Now to leave you with a great idea for parking.

A few thoughts that went through my head...1) you are a midget 2) just looking at times square gives me headache (i can just hear the honking and constant noise) 3)I love the picture of you two in Central park and that is all i have for you

2)Super bummed that there are no pics of the Asian bus...
3) all very cute pics.

So is Ben still growing, or are you shrinking?

It looks like you are having some fun, though.

OH! I wish you would have told me you were going to be in town then. I would love to see you. Next time let me know. I will hop into the city and meet up with you for lunch or something. Don't you just love NYC.

I was just thinking the other day that ive never really been on a trip or vacation in a long time. Also ive noticed that yours and ben's standard pose for pictures reminds me of the rocketeer saving someone and theyre about to blast off.

p.s. The Rocketeer was awesome
