New York...NEW YORK!!!

Although there are many disadvantages to having a husband who travels a lot, there are also some advantages. My FAVORITE is joining him on a trip. Lucky for me, he had to go to New York last week so he made plans for me to meet him there, along with our good friends Rob and Rachel. And because he travels sooooo much, I even got to fly first class! Oh, how spoiled am I?!? We had a VERY early morning flight (we left the house at 4:30). None of us slept the night before!

Of course, I was ready complete with eye mask, ear plugs, pillow, blanket, IPod, the WORKS!

Our first day, we got to see a taping of the Late Show. So fun. We wore our voices out cheering in the crowd. Did anyone hear us Thursday night? By the way, Eva Longoria is WAY TINY in person.

Riding the Subway with my Hubby!

Lunch in Little Italy...YUM!

I love a good excuse to bundle up in winter clothes (we don't get to do that in California very much)

Goofing off on the Subway...yes, I know this will probably totally embarrass my kids. But hey, their mom is really talented at Subway surfing...."it's all in the legs".

We got tickets to see "Legally Blonde". Mindless, but really cute.

Do we look alike?

Chinatown in the rain...in the POURING rain.

A must stop in New York (my bag is bigger than your bag Rachel!) Actually, all I got this time around was silver cleaner!

I almost adopted a baby at FAO Schwartz. The "nurse" didn't seem to think it was very funny and told me the rocking chair was "only for the children". Like I was going to break it? I have to say, she WAS the only rude New Yorker we encountered this trip. They were all so friendly! Really!

Splurging at Magnolia Bakery. Cupcakes anyone?

Enjoying lunch outside Chelsea Market. I had the best clam chowder (Manhattan style of course!)

We can't wait to go back!!! WE LOVE NEW YORK!!!
