New York, New York

March 10 2006

So today was my first day on my trip to New York City.  I had to wake up at four in the morning to make my flight, but it was all ok as I was really to hyped up to sleep anyway.  The trip to NYC was the longest I could even imagine. Our first flight left Nashville at about 8:30 in the morning and (included a layover in Atlanta) we didn't get to Newark until about 3:15, so subtract an hour for time change and the flight itself was about a little under four hours which isn't bad, but then you have to add in the train time to make it to NYC. 


Because I am an idiot at times and get lost relatively easily, it took us almost three hours to navigate the train/subway system to make it to our hotel.  But enough of that. 


Today in NYC.  I just have to say three words, "I'm in heaven."  Not only was the whole experience of just walking the streets (not in the "Pretty Woman" sort of way) amazing, but I also spent about two hours in the Toys R Us on Times Square.  The three of us (me, Alex V., and Hunter) ended up at the Lego table building a replica of the Rocky set legosized.  Overall, today was just one of those days that you will remember for the rest of your life, even after you've forgotten your wedding anniversary.  Now it's going to be hard dragging me away next Saturday.
