Hello Everyone -
I trust that you all had a safe and wonderful Christmas season!
Well...this was our first Christmas in NYC and to say it was rough would be an understatement. It was difficult at best! Thanks to all of my friends who listened to me cry, complain and email about how sad I was during the Christmas season...but we made it through.Being away from you all this Christmas made me realize how much I loved you all and the special thing that each and every one of you who receive this blog bring to my life.
Enough of that!!!!
I have been on vacation since Christmas Eve and so we decided to take another adventure to the City...to no place other than Rockefeller Center to see the famed tree and the ice skating rink. First of all; it was very, very crowded and we went the Saturday after Christmas. There were what seemed like millions of people in Manhattan that day. It was an unseasonably warm day for New York and people were taking advantage. I have never heard so many different languages spoken at one time!
Anyway, we headed off on the train, transferred to the subway in Penn Station and we were there. First let me say; it was beautiful! The statues, the sculptured angels that they had in the area and just being able to stand in front of this massive tree and take photographs was awesome. It was a sight to see and I would have to go back next year in the evening to see it in all of it's glory.
After the tree; we decided that we would do some shopping on 5th Avenue dahling!!!! Can anyone say Luis Vuitton, Cartier, the biggest Coach store you've ever seen, Chanel...all of them were there and we went in and indulged our fantasy. They also had some more realistic stores that we were able to go to...Juicy Couture ( I must take Raven for her 13th b-day) and Saks and places like that...needless to say; we walked away empty handed. Although; it is my dream to go to Luis Vuitton and purchase an authentic bag just once....
I enjoyed my day in the City and hope you all like some of the pictures that we took!
