New York and a New Year

You may remember that Scotty surprised me for Valentine's Day last year by honoring one of my lifelong goals to see the ball drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve. Well, after all of the Christmas craziness, the two of us left- sans bebe to the big apple for some romantic fun. Here are some of the highlights of our amazing trip. Well, the outdoor stuff ;)

the first night we got there we took advantage of the free wine and cheese reception at our hotel




we then headed off for a yummy italian dinner, dylan's candy shop, and serendipity






the next morning we headed off to the Guggenheim and then to Central Park and the Boathouse restaurant for lunch






that evening we headed off for a Ranger's Game- front row! and Rockefeller center







the next morning we awoke and snow covered the ground. security in the city was thick and we set out to find me a new years eve outfit. we went to South Pacific that night





we fought our way to Time Square and then...5! 4! 3! 2! 1!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!





we watched the ball drop live and in person!! we trucked back to our hotel and crashed. the next morning I awoke to breakfast in bed, a gorgeous bouquet of tulips and cards and gifts from my love. all in all- a perfect birthday. we spent the rest of the day shopping and eating and returned home to a very sweet little girl.
