NYC

A small group of friends and I went to NYC for two days. We had a fabulous time! We reveled in our short break as mothers and remembered that we were people first.  We had great fun and adventures and really enjoyed taking care of ourselves. 

We stumbled onto this food truck lot called Broadway bites that had the most delicious food. 

These are fried balls of rice and cheese. I tried something similar in Rome and I made all the girls try the NYC version with me. They did not disappoint!

Shopping at Macy's. 

Followed by an early dinner at Max Brenner's chocolate bar. So very delicious.  

Then we went to see the Rockefeller tree, which was from Danville this year! This was before it was finished so it was under scaffolding. 

We went to NYC the second weekend in November when all the decorations are going up with none of the crowds, best time to go!

Friday night we had tickets to Once and Saturday morning a few of us got tickets to see the Christmas spectacular at radio city music hall. It really is spectacular. 

Here we are in front of the Swarovski crystal star for the top of the tree (before it went ON the tree).

So many crystals! 

Then I fulfilled a long time dream of eating dessert at Serendipity. The dessert was delicious, better to share with others. I was disappointed by the frozen hot chocolate, but loved all the other desserts. 

I think we waited in the cold (outside) for over an hour, but all agreed it was worth it, despite the cold and our exhaustion. 

I happened to capture this selfie with a heart light around my eye. 

It was a fantastic weekend. We were all grateful to our husbands for keeping our babies so we could remember that we're still people.
