Happy Belated Thanksgiving and catch up

Yeah....so surprise surprise - I disappeared again.  Want to hear my excuse?  Well, I went to San Diego for a week after NYC and then I got a little sick - sore throat and a cough.  Once I got back to Tucson, I was still tired from my cold and I had a TON of laundry to do and lots of things to catch up with at work. So that's why I've been MIA.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I spent the day with Sarah and her parents and all our doggies.  It was a wonderfully relaxing day filled with delicious food.

Ok, here you go - picture recap from what you missed out on.

A trip to Macy's - of course!  After we walked through a not so nice part of town.  Oh well, it was worth it!

Red stairs at Times Square!

Yahoo....Broadway!

Mom - 2nd in line!

Billy Elliot tickets!

30 Rock xmas tree - just put up!

30 rock building...we went up to the top!

View from the top.  Beautiful Central Park with changing of leaves.

Empire State Building

Family photo op.  This took FOREVER to get right.  We kept asking people to take our picture and they would just get us without the pretty landscape in the background.  

----------------------

San Diego pictures to come!

Quick Recap.  With only a few photos.  Will add more later.  Literally about to run out the door to dinner and then to Billy Elliot!

Dad and I in front of The Met.  Dancing waters...

Yummy NYC hotdog lunch on the steps of the Met.

Central Park

Central Park - view from the castle. 

Oh how I miss fall, living in Tucson.

Highline park - a park built on an old above street level railroad, located a block from where we are staying.

Obvious.  But notice the level of grey smog at approximately skyline level.

Audiotour at Ellis Island.  Happy Family!

NYC - still here

We are still here - out and about and having fun!
Haven't had a chance to post lately due to the above and slow Internet.
I'll try to post this afternoon/evening of possible.
There's a little scheduled downtime in our day, but somehow that tends to disappear pretty quickly!

Have a good day!

NYC Day 1

We made it!  NYC vacation has now begun.

Here is our photo tour of the first part of day #1.
Dinner is still to come and maybe a walk on highline park.
