New York 2013- Day 2- Wednesday

 Our motel is close to Time Square so we are able to walk down there.  It is always fun to wathc the people.

 ROCKETTES-  We attended the Christmas Spectacular of the Rockettes.  The show was amazing.  Live animals on stage and everything.

 Lots to see and do in downtown Manhattan

 THE ROCKERFELLER CENTER

 Huge LEGO Store.

 St. Patrick's Church.  It is being totally renovated so there was scaffolding all around the building and inside the building also.  It is still very beautiful.

 Ashley and I went to the David Letterman Show.  A little bit of a line waiting but the show was great.  The guest on the show was Jennifer Lawrence from the movie the Hunger Games.  She was so funny and down to earth.

 Mary Anne came into the city to meet us for the play MATILDA.  It was so good.  The children that were in the play were amazing.  Great show.

Afterwards we stopped at Juniors and ate.  We sat at the bar and and had 2 great waiters.  The Chicken Pot Pie was to die for.  What a great day.  Mary Anne stayed in the city with us that night.

New York 2013-Day 1- Tuesday

 I flew out of the Idaho Falls Airport and met Ashley at the Salt Lake City airport and we flew together to the JFK airport in New York City.  Our adventure began.  The flights were smooth and we had great connections.

 We took a taxi from the airport to our motel in downtown Manhattan. Lots of fun things to see.

 We checked into our motel and then went out and got dinner and headed towards Time Square.I love being in the big city.

 Lots of fun characters on Time Square, just hanging out and wanting their picture taken.  Oops!  I did not tip.  Good thing they did not chase me down.

 The M and M Store is the best.

 We met Laurie and Pat Parker, and Laurie and Rachael Christensen at the theatre.  We saw the production of CINDERELLA. It was wonderful.  The costume changes done right on stage were amazing.

Afterwards we went to Juniors and had dessert.  The Strawberry Cheese Cake is awesome.  What a fun day.
