Aunt Carol decided for her 60th birthday she wanted to go to New York City! The timing was perfect since it was Oliver’s 4th birthday as well and the rest of the girls decided we could celebrate with them J
It was a short trip up to the Big Apple but we crammed in as much as we could.
The first night we met Kelly, Oliver, Carol and Mike at Kelly’s apartment in Brooklyn for a warm homemade meal and an evening of trimming the Christmas tree.
The next morning Mom and I enjoyed a diner breakfast then met the family at the subway and headed to Radio City Music Hall to see the Rockettes perform. After the show we saw the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree and ice skating rink. Then Mom, Kristen, Lesley and I puttered around the city seeing: Central Park, 5th Avenue all dressed up for Christmas, Bryant Park, and the windows at Macys.
Sunday morning the girls ate a Mediterranean brunch at Miriam’s, one of Kelly’s favorites. Then we made our way to see a matinee performance of The Lion King. It was a tad scarier than we all remember but we enjoyed it nonetheless.
It was a late night flight coming home, with a few mishaps on an unnamed airline (Delta) but mom and I finally made it home by 1am! Needless to say 8am Monday morning came too soon!!
It was such an incredible weekend and I am so thankful Aunt Carol and Oliver were born so we could all celebrate with them!
