New York, New York!!

Last weekend my friend Shay and I went to New York. It was awesome. We went out there to see the Yankee/Red Sox game. Shay landed some great seats, 15 rows behind the 1st base line. She is a major Yanks fan, and it was her dream come true!! While we were there, we went to see Wicked. That was amazing!! I loved it. We also spent a lot of time shopping on Canal Street and shopping in Times Square. They have an M&M Factory and a Hershey Store that smells divine. We took a bus tour around the City and that was fun. You get to see a lot more that way. We went to Ground Zero, which was cool, but I was a litte disappointed, as it was under construction. We went to a church directly across the street. It's called St. Paul's and it served as an emergency room/headquarters for the volunteers searching for victims of 9/11. It has a cool little back story. Every window in every building within 2 blocks of the WTC was shattered when the towers collapsed, except the windows in St. Paul's Church, and not one of those windows broke. Pretty amazing. We had so much fun and I would LOVE to go back. That was my first time flying and I really liked it. I just may become a world traveler. Yeah right. But, it was such a blast. Thanks to Shay for taking me on her dream vacation, and thanks to Steven for taking care of Mac and holding down our fort. I couldn't wait to see my family!! Sadly though, Mac was more excited to see the teddy bear from the M&M Factory than she was to see me. True story.
