NYC get-a-way!

On our anniversary Ben surprised me with a 2 day New York City get-a-way. His parents were kind enough to watch Rhone during their visit, so we could hit the city. We took the train in from New Jersey. We saw an amazing exhibit called "Dead or Alive" in the Museum of Art and Design. All of the artwork contained objects that were from once living things, such as feathers, bones, seeds, ect. I think Ben even enjoyed it. Plus we got in free because we are military, how nice of them. We strolled around Central Park and down Broadway before getting dinner on the top floor of the museum at the restaurant Robert. The view was amazing and the food was good! We could see up Broadway and all of Central Park. Too bad we left the camera in our checked bag.

After dinner we headed for Times Square and then to the Broadway play "Wicked". It was a great show. The 2 leads did an excellent job. We stayed in Queens with a view of the New York skyline. The next morning we did a little shopping in Times square where we got Rhone a t-shirt for a whole $2.50. It was the steal of the trip. We really enjoyed everything we did, getting around is just a little hectic at times. I couldn't believe how light we can travel without Rhone. Just 1 backpack for the whole 2 days. It was nice to be light and carefree for a little bit.

I made us miss the train. It took Ben a while to cheer back up.
