Highlight Reel #4

We'll be wrapping these reels up before too long, but for now, enjoy highlight reel #4, brought to you from days 7-9 of our adventure!

Day 7: This day began (and continued) with a six hour bus/walking tour. We saw everything! I'd highly recommend the free walking tours and almost free bus tour to anyone in or traveling to NY! Click here for more information (if you click on the bus tour link, you'll even see our picture)! Our day was completed with our first Broadway show--Sister Act! We LOVED it!


 Central Park

 Washington Square

In Brooklyn, with the skyline behind us 

 A memorial at Trinity Church right by Ground Zero

Sister Act!

Day 8: This day began with brunch with Graham in Greenwich Villiage (so fun!), continued with seeing ONCE (the best show ever!), and was completed with Cannoli (my favorite!). 


 Don't we look snazzy? 

 This is Steve. He won the Tony for best actor. He's taking a picture of us with MY PHONE! It was awesome. ;)

Cannoli is my favorite in the history of ever. 

Day 9: This day started EARLY with a trek to the Today show (we got some mighty good air time), continued with a tour of the NBC Studios where I played weather girl again (we have the video if anyone cares to watch it), and ended with NEWSIES (love the dancing!)! 

 Yup, we're ridiculous. 

 Here I am with Savannah. So cool!

This is in the NBC Studios. Love!

Newsies!!!

I hope you enjoyed these highlights. Stay tuned for the last highlight reel tomorrow!

Highlight Reel #3

Tired of the highlight reels yet? I sure hope not! If you missed the first two, click here and here! Here is the third highlight reel, featuring days 5 and 6 of our East Coast adventure!

Day 5: Our last day in DC consisted of some incredible chili with fascinating history, the Museum of Natural History, and a great twilight walking tour!


 If you are in or near or will be near DC, you MUST go to Ben's Chili Bowl! This is Virginia, Ben's wife, who sat and talked to us for almost an hour! And, the food is incredible! LOVE this place!

 Click HERE for more information about Ben's. You MUST go! Just take the green or yellow metro line and get off at U Street! Easy!

 Here I am at the Natural History Museum with my favorite animal!!

 Washington Memorial 

 WWII Memorial

 Vietnam Memorial. See us in the background? Crazy...

 Lincoln Memorial (favorite).

Hey there, Abe. :)

Goodbye D.C :( ...... Hello New York! 

Day 6: This day began with a train ride from D.C. to NYC and ended on the top of the Empire State Building. 

 Here we are on the train! 

 Oh, Times Square--you are INSANE.

 A bit bored waiting in line to go to the top of the Empire State Building.

 But, the view was SO WORTH it! :)

We had two single beds, so Alyson had to make her own. Yup, that's two chairs and a luggage rack. Good times!
