Our Anniversary in NYC

(view from our hotel)

January 5th we celebrated our 6th year anniversary! And since we don't usually get a night w/out the girls, we decided to take a weekend trip to the BIG APPLE! Michael booked our stay right across the inlet from where the twin towers would've been, so actually in Jersey.













We've stayed in NYC many of times but the Hyatt across from NY gave you the whole view of the city, the waterfront, and little noise.. it was awesome! Saturday morning, we took the Path to NYC which went right through the twin towers construction. We then walked to Times Square, where we saw where the Macy's Parade is held, had to of course visit all of the tv stations for Michael's sake, and finally went up the Empire State Building which Michael had never done before. We luckily had 70 degree temperatures but it still made for a chilly and windy experience high up over top of the city!

With not much shopping to do, we went to see the movie PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS which I have been dying to see! Great movie! It definately teaches you not to underestimate yourself. And after all was said and done, we went back to our hotel where we enjoyed a gourmet dinner at the Vu. We don't typically eat at fancy restaurants where we can't take kids, but I would compare our experience to the movie Last Holiday! We each received an appetizer and cheesecake compliments of the chef! We're talking, the water and lemon were better than normal.. don't ask me how that is. I ordered flounder and crabcake while Michael order sausage w/ pasta.. and it was delicious! Best of all, we had an extraordinary view of NYC!
