New York, NY

The first weekend of June I headed to NYC for a girls' trip with three of my high school gal pals. We went to Vegas two summers ago, and they went to Cali without me last year. Jessica and I met up at DFW, and we flew in on a Thursday morning.

Headed into the city!

We rode the Port Authority bus into Manhattan and walked eight or so blocks to Clarisse's apartment in the Theater District

Thursday night, us three headed to see Wicked, which was a whopping two blocks away. All I have to say is, "WOW." It was awesome to say the least!

After the show, we walked around Times Square. That place was so busy, loud and bright. And it is that way all the time, I hear!

The next morning, Jess and I headed to 30 Rock/NBC studios. Pretty cool to see it all in person :-)

St. Patrick's Cathedral

It was absolutely stunning!

We also headed out after lunch to go shopping, so we got in plenty of subway travel...so many people, everywhere!

For dinner on Friday, we ate at one of Brett's firm's clients: Rosa Mexicana. So good!

Saturday morning, Rebecca came in from D.C., and we quickly headed to brunch at Vintage. Again, delicious. Don't think I had a bad meal one time while we were there!

Of course, the bottomless (okay, 2) bellinis and mimosas made it even better :-)

The mommies in the group

Saturday night we headed out for a night out on the town in the Lower East Side. We started off at Stanton Social, a tapas restaurant. YUM!

Then we headed to Greenwich Village

Sunday Morning we took a stroll around the Upper West Side and Central Park. LOVED that area!

We made a stop at the famous Levaine bakery. $4 cookies and worth every penny (and calorie :-)

Could get used to this part of NYC!

Love my girls!

We hope to continue our girls' trip annually (or every other year). It was such a wonderful and relaxing trip to be able to visit with my girlfriends in person, and I can't wait until the next time!!
