NYC for Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving Dave and I got to go to New York. This was Dave's first time, which made things a little more exciting. We were also just glad to get away from our jobs for a week and relax!

Our first night we went to a Broadway and saw Billy Elliot. We sat in the 3rd row and could see everything! It was perfect for our first night there and we absolutely loved the show.


One of our favorite things from the trip was walking the Brooklyn Bridge. When Ryan told us we should walk it I had this terrible image in my mind of walking right next to the cars with a storm and almost getting blown into the cars' way from the wind! But it was actually a beautiful walk—and it didn't take too long to walk across it. We'd definitely recommend it.


We spent a lot of time with my brother Jason. One night we walked around town and this picture is at the Natural History Museum. He's such a funny guy that he's always fun to have around. He'll always come up with something random or off the wall to say—he's a crack up.


Our last day we didn't have an agenda and just walked around the city all day. It was so nice to just walk around and see whatever we wanted. Usually when I'm in New York I'm always on my way somewhere, so it was nice to just walk around and take our sweet time.

After we went into the NYC Public Library, we sat on the front steps and watched 3 black guys entertain people walking by with Michael Jackson impersonations and hand stands. It was pretty entertaining. I guess that's one of the great things about NY is seeing the random stuff on the streets!

Looks like you guys had fun! I loved NY the one time we've been. You'll have to share cool things to see besides the usual touristy stuff.
