The Big Apple

I am going to be honest with ya..... I freaking LOVE NYC! There I've said it! Lane goes to there for work once or twice a year and so I decided to join him on one of his trips this year. I loved almost every second of it! (not the times when my feet hurt so bad from walking 8 miles and not the time when I ate lunch about 2 ft away from the Naked Cowboy by myself... I felt like a perv! or not the time when... oh wait, i am not going to tell you about THAT time!) We didn't take as many pics as we should have. I think you are moving so fast and there are so many things to see and so many people that you get back to your hotel room and think, hmm we didn't take any pics today did we?! Well, I plan to go again and will take more pics then! There is still so much on my list that I didn't get to do or see! We left all 3 of our kids with my family (thanks a billion guys) and went solo. I have to say I was stressing out a bit about leaving my 5 month old. I was feeling guilty and pretty sad til we hit the East Coast and I thought to myself... "holy crap! I can't imagine trying to get around this city with a baby strapped to me!" I was sweating bullets as it was! The humidity is a killer when you aren't use to it! The night before we were coming home I called my mom to check on the kids. She asked if we were ready to come home (thinking I would for sure say YES I miss my little baby)but instead I said "man I wish we just had one more full day here!" We did miss the kids BUT we had a FANTASTIC time!

alright... sorry the pics aren't in any good order BUT this post has already taken me ummm over a month!

Lane enjoying the most delicious dessert chocolate dessert in the whole world! It was worth the $12 bucks per plate!

Me pumped to be there.... This was my first time, Lane has been there a few times and knew I would dig it!

So I thought the menu was so cool! Loved the story behind the inspiration of his restaurant.

It was midnight when we got seated to have dessert! This place was bumpen! It was like a normal Charlie and the Chocolate Factory type a place!

At the Met's game. They won! Here is Lane and our New York friends.... Marty and Sheila (said with a NY accent of course!)

So we saw this creepyish Santa Claus while we were at Central Park... Wish you could see him from the front!

Our hotel was 2 blocks from Grand Central Station that I swear we were there ALL the time!

Had to take a Subway shot since we got very familiar with it! I was sweating bullets down there! The lower ya get the hotter and hotter it gets! I swear I would be so skinny if I lived there! (hmm there's an idea?!)

I just loved this cool looking door. It was in Little Italy. The place we at the best pizza of my entire life! John's Pizzeria...to die for! (Lane wasn't as passionate about it as I was. He prefers Chicago style.) Not me, I like to bend it in half like the locals!

Lady Liberty from the Staten Island Ferry ride.

We were total tourists and took the bus tour.... LOVED IT!

On our way to Magnolia's (for the 2nd time) we stopped off at the Today show. It is a lot more fun to watch it now that I have been there!

Lane at the Yankee's game. This was his highlight for sure! (even though he is not a Yank fan) He got hooked up with the Legacy Suites tickets! Dinner, snacks, beverages, and awesome seats!

We got the boys these huge syringes of chocolate from Max Brenners and let me tell you, they were delish!! They were so pumped to see us (or their surprises) but either way it was good to come home to our little family!
Lane is going back in a few weeks for work and you better believe we have a list of things he needs to bring us home and 2 of them may or may not be cupcakes and choco syringes!
