Dreams DO Come True!

I have dreamed for many years of New York City. This year, that dream came true. On November 22, our family took off for seven full days in the city.

I'll admit I was a little nervous. You hear so many stories about watching your surroundings, staying safe, not getting on the wrong subway, etc. BUT... I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable. It was an awesome experience.

We enjoyed so many wonderful sights and adventures:

Times Square

The Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

The Empire State Building

Central Park - it was amazing how quiet and peaceful it could be in the midst of such a huge city.

Phantom of the Opera. Oh my word!!! Incredible how the actors and musicians flow so well. I was in awe that everything was LIVE!

We spent Thanksgiving morning at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade then enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was SO good!!!

There's too much to name!! I was completely enthralled with Times Square. The lights, signs, sounds, people - all of it fascinated me. All of the history in New York City is amazing. We saw where George Washington was sworn in as the first President, Wall Street & the New York Stock Exchange, and Ground Zero.

We made many memories on this trip - I'm so thankful we were able to share this week as a family.
