Snowed In

January 9th and 10th, we had round 2 of snow..but this time we got so lucky to get ICED in! :) I didn't want to be snowed in all by myself, so I packed a bag and went to Mom and Dad's but then we just decided to make it a family affair so Adam, Dianne & Caroline came over Sunday evening as well! We made some chili and Chef Caroline helped!

We then all attempted to play Rook. None of us really knew how to play except Dad...but we got the hang of it (right, Mom?) :)

Monday morning we woke up to snow....covered by ICE! gotta love it.

We had a yummy breakfast of biscuits, gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage..and of course, Chef Caroline helped again.

We attempted to make some snow cream. It turned out alright but would have been better with some fluffy snow not icy snow!



Our rockstar of the family kept us entertained! :)

We enjoyed our time "snowed in" together. :) 



NYC 2010 Recap Part 3

December 10, Friday


We started our day at the Museum of Natural History. It was a little crazy there with all of the school classes on field trips.

We took a walk through Central Park and saw the Alice in Wonderland statue.

We then headed to Fifth Avenue to do a little shopping (alot of window shopping).

Cartier

We visited Trump Tower. It is all gold inside and kinda hideous. haha

And for all of you Project Runway fans, we went to Bryant Park. It was really neat..it was set up with different booths of independent sellers. I, of course, bought some really cute jewelry! :)



Then we headed to the Empire State Building.



December 11, Saturday

We went to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge before we headed to the airport.

 We then headed to the airport and flew to Baltimore and then headed back to good ole Birmingham, AL. We landed about 630pm.

Overall, it was a WONDERFUL trip and I am glad I got to go. We had to come back to rest from our vacation! ha

Hope yall enjoyed my recap! :)

Sorry it's taken me a little while to finish my NYC trip!

We then went to Top of the Rock. It gives a beautiful view of the city!!

We also took a tour of what we thought was the NBC studios but actually it turned into a tour of Rockefeller Center..that took forever!! haha.
We then went to Madame Tussaud Wax Museum! That place is sooo fun!

We also had some great food that day! We ate lunch at an Italian family style restaurant, Carmine's. It was yummy! We also had a fabulous cupcake from Magnolia Bakery! And we ate dinner at Sardis. That night the girls went to see The Lion King on Broadway! It was a FANTASTIC show! I am glad I got to see it! After the show we went to Junior's Cheesecake and had the greatest cheesecake EVER! It is named the best cheesecake in NYC!

As you can tell, our days were jam packed with exciting activities! We were on the go from 8AM to midnight! Walking..walking..walking..in the FREEZING cold! But it was definitely worth it! I will finish the next two days in a separate post!
