This is our awesome trip to NYC. This is the second year Brooke and I were able to share this trip. We really enjoy going to New York. There is so much to see and do. First, we were dropped off at Bryant Park in the middle of Manhattan. We found a street vendor selling shish kebob pita sandwiches. De-lish! Then the kids went to a Broadway workshop where they perfected one of the numbers from "Guys and Dolls" taught by a Broadway actor. While they were doing that, a group of us mothers just walked around the Chelsea section of Manhattan.

After the Broadway workshop, we walked to Times Square and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. We love that place. It's delicious and not too expensive and the restaurant has a really fun feel.
After that we walked to the Nederlander Theatre and saw "Guys and Dolls". It was wonderful! Lauren Graham from the TV show, Gilmore Girls, was the headliner. I love Broadway!!

The next day, we had a wonderful time walking around NYC and taking the subway where we wanted to go. We started out at Grand Central Terminal and we took it to the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked all the way across the Bridge into Brooklyn. From there we took the subway to Chinatown and walked through Chinatown to Little Italy. We ate at a quaint italian restaurant and then walked back to the subway.




We then took the subway up to Central Park where some took a carriage ride, but most of us walked through the park and over to the Lincoln Center and we got a glimpse of the LDS Temple. By that time, we were getting pretty worn out so we took the subway back to Times Square and walked to Bryant Park to meet the bus. We figure we walked about 15 miles those two days. It's a great trip, though. So many things to see and do.

I'm so jealous, I've always wanted to go to New York. Have a great time in Montana. We wish we could be there to see you guys, but it's so expensive and Trent can't get work off this late of notice. Hopefully we don't have to wait another 2 years to see you all.

That was a fun trip. I am ready to do it again. NYC it definitely one of those places that I LOVE to visit but DO NOT want to live there.

I wish I had the money to live there!! and I still love to visit. Thanks for sharing the pictures. It looks like a fun group. What restaurant in Little Italy? We just ate there over Easter. I have not walked the Brooklyn Bridge, maybe this summer. I want to go to Metropolitan Museum of Art too.
