Spring Break

This Spring Break was for the history books!  New York and Orlando!  Tim and I had the best time walking around New York and the Disney World parks.  Thanks is not nearly enough for Tim's parents.  They took their entire family on the adventure of a lifetime!  Becky and Tony, THANK YOU SO MUCH!  You guys are the best parents any daughter-in-law could ask for!  

New York

 

Our airline was a big disappointment.  Our flight to New York was delayed two hours and I was tired!  That meant I was NOT happy!  Nothing could dampen Tim's spirit though....he was going to see the BIG APPLE BABY!

After getting kicked off the subway early (I guess it broke down...how often does that happen), we got lost and ended up walking 25 blocks until we finally found our hotel.  As soon as we checked in, we power-walked to Time Square.  We made a quick visit to Toys-R-Us, the M&M factory, and stood in line for discount tickets to Broadway.

  

We ate real New York pizza..

We visited China Town and Little Italy. Tim discovered a Connoli.

Tim had never seen The Phantom of the Opera and since it was the practically the only show left at the TKTS booth, we thought it an excellent opportunity!  The show was fantastic!  You just can't come to New York and not see a Broadway show!

 

The Empire State Building

The Financial District was my favorite part of New York this time around.  It was Sunday so the streets weren't too crowded but what a cool place...this is where the action happens.

 While I shopped on Fifth Avenue, Tim studied the Subway map; he took it upon himself to get us from point A to point B in the fastest way possible.  As we walked down the street in the financial district, a tourist stopped us at a crosswalk and asked Tim how they could get to the Brooklyn Bridge.  Like a pro, Tim showed them which subway line to get on, the transfer they needed and where to walk after getting off.  The tourists thanked us and we moved on down the street like it was no big deal.  I slyly looked over at Tim's profile, he was BEAMING!  He had mastered the subway system!  He was no tourist!

In the day that we were there, we saw and did as much as we could!  Our feet were about to fall off at the end of the day but we had a blast and next time......we will be here for hopefully more than 24 hours!
