Rockefeller Plaza

This is what Rockefeller Plaza looks like in the Spring time. Instead of an ice rink, they now have a small cafe area and outdoor seating. It’s even more beautiful in person.

Best Frozen Hot Chocolate EVER

It would ALMOST be worth the flight to NYC just for the frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity. This is THE Serendipity you hear about in the movies and on television and the frozen hot chocolate IS as good as they say it is.

This is the new Coach store on Bleeker Street. It was closed when we got there. They totally could have let us in.

This photo was taken right outside of the M&M store. If only an m&m that big existed.

Carnegie Deli

Our flight from Knoxville took us directly to La Guardia International Airport and do you know the first place we went?? CARNEGIE DELI, that’s where! Our flight landed in NYC at 8pm, we took our luggage to the hotel and made a B-line to the deli!

We had a Reuben, and when I say WE, I mean all 4 of us.  Janet, Jordan, Goldie and me…we all shared the sandwich because they are big enough to feed a small army.  The sandwiches are great but the cheesecake is even better. 

Seriously, this picture of Andrew holding our cheesecake DOES NOT DO THE CHEESECAKE JUSTICE. I’m not kidding. That piece of cheesecake was huge…and fabulous. YUM-O!!

Oh, and Andrew is our new best friend!

Welcome to New York!

What a sight!  Friday, April 25th we departed from Knoxville and headed to the Big Apple!  Every year we go we get to see something new.  This year was no exception.  From Times Square to China Town…we’ve seen it all. 
This is the first of many pictures to come.  Stay tuned…

Happy Birthday…

…to you.  Happy Birthday to you.  Happy Birthday Dear Goldie (mom)!  Happy Birthday to you!!  So, if you haven’t caught on yet, it’s Goldie’s birthday today, Thursday, April 10th.  She absolutely hates getting her picture taken but SOMEHOW we convinced her to let me snap this shot!  Enjoy our flowers!
