High Heights and Big Slices

Here are a few pictures of our trip from NYC. We first visited the Flat Iron building. Me for historic art reasons and Cory's for... well that is where Spider Man works. I'm not sure if that was the best decision in that everything after that Cory had some sort of reference to Spider Man. After the Flat Iron we visited Union Square, Ground Zero and Max Brenner's Chocolate Restaurant. And OH MY GOODNESS if you are ever a chocolate fan like I am this place was just... I mean wow... I still dream about some of those desserts.

Tuesday we woke up early, and my parents were nice enough to take Madeleine to a Zone Conference while Cory and I did lots of site seeing. We took the train to the city then rode the subway through rush hour to make it to the Empire State Building before any long lines formed. We then went to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Time Square, China Town and we finished off the night by seeing Wicked. It was an amazing musical. Thank you again for the tickets Mom, Cory and I had a great day alone seeing the city.

Wednesday Cory and I were a bit beat from all we did Tuesday, so we went to the Bronx Zoo. Of course my California daughter refused to wear a coat when the high was 40 out. We ended the night with some pizza from the Bronx, and the slices were bigger than Cory's head. Was good and very filling.

Thursday we went to the Met before we had to go to the airport. Madeleine didn't enjoy it much, but I on the other hand loved seeing some of those art pieces. It was a great trip, even if it was short.

Cory and I are headed to Knoxville next week to see what we can get started on for our move there this summer. I didn't have the heart to take Madeleine cross country in a plane so soon, so we are having a friend watch her for 2 nights. I'm just hoping I have a friend when I come back.
