Is that me on the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC? YES! Can I tell you about an amazing weekend I had earlier this month? Let me first begin by telling you that I have amazing women in my life. For some reason I have been blessed with really good friends and family. A group of us (10 in total) took a weekend and took NYC by storm. We arrived in NY at like 5:30 AM on Friday! We went to the Today Show and stood outside hoping with all our high hopes to get caught on camera, but because of the earthquake in Japan they didn't come outside the studio. Never mind, we still had fun. AND we can say we went to the Today show. I saw Al thru the window!
This beautiful gal is my sister-in-law Trisha who joined us on the trip. She is really an awesome and fun girl to be with. I was so glad that she came with and by the end of it she swore she didn't think any of us were crazy.
We took a subway to Brooklyn and walked the Brooklyn bridge. Then strolled ourselves over to Little Italy for some amazing lasagna and were harassed in China town.
Of course we went to a BROADWAY show on Friday night! We went to the Broadway Musical, Memphis. Really, really good.
Saturday Morning went to visit Lady Liberty. Let me tell you, she is stunning!
Looking back at NYC from the Island. Can see the Brooklyn bridge in the far distance. You see how long that is? Yes, I walked across the entire thing! I know, it's awesome.
Ellis Island. It was amazing. I love, love, love looking at pictures. In the upper part of the building you can go through room to room seeing the process and actual pictures of what the new immigrants went through. It was interesting.

Okay, so this place was incredible, we went there Sat. night after I bought 2 super super super cute purses, ring, and ear rings in China town. It's called "The Stardust Diner." When you go to NY you must go there. The food is yummy, but the service and entertainment is EXCELLENT. The servers are all aspiring Broadway stars. They sing and dance on the tables and through the entire restraunt. It was so neat!
Ordering our food at the Stardust Diner.
As we were getting ready to leave Sunday morning a limo driver asked if we needed a ride. Yes, yes we did. For $35 bucks we rode in style to our bus stop. That's right, we took a limo to the bus stop! It was my first time ever in a limo, and let me tell you, a girl could get use to that!
All in all, it was amazing. I can't wait to go back! Next year? Whose with me?
