New York City

After 3 years of postponing and rescheduling, we FINALLY did it! We spent a week in New York City over my birthday. It was a great vacation. We did and saw everything we set out to, and had an amazing time. This is what we did:

Day One:

Midtown wanderings - Times Square, Rockefeller Center, St Patrick's Cathedral, and Tiffany's

Day Two: My Birthday!!

Central Park Zoo, fancy dinner at Sardi's (a theater district hot spot), and Book of Mormon on Broadway

Day Three:

Empire State Building views and the American Museum of Natural History
Note: never EVER go to the Empire State Building for the view. Go to Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center), it's a better view and a MUCH shorter wait.

Day Four: 

Coney Island - Beach, boardwalk, rides and famous hot dogs.

Day Five: 

Jersey, Baby! Carlo's Bakery, Sunday football at McSwiggans Pub, and Medieval Times Tournament.

Day Six: 

Downtown: Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial, Freedom Tower, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Strand of course.

Day Seven: 

Central Park is easily my favorite place in NYC

And there ya have it.
