New York City!!

In March Daniel bid on and won a trip to NYC to see Lady Antebellum at Radio City Music Hall.  This was for a fundraiser for the Granite Education Foundation, that Daniel's Mom has run for the last 7 or 8 years.

We decided to have this be our 10 year anniversary trip!

We flew in Thursday, got settled in our hotel, then walked down 5th Ave and shopped in Saks a bit.  Then we walked over to Rosa's Mexicano for dinner...it was a long walk....but worth it!!

Friday we did some serious shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue (they were having a pre-sale) then went to the concert that night.

Here we are on a pedi-cab ride to dinner before the concert.  That's Grand Central Terminal right next to us, and our hotel (the Grand Hyatt) behind us.

There was a line for cabs when we came out of our hotel, so when the pedi-cab driver asked us if we wanted a ride we said sure.  It was a 10 minute ride to the "Shake Shack" in the theater district, but for future reference, they charge by the hour...per person.  So it was a $35 - 10 minute ride. OOPS!  Oh well...it was a fun experience.

This is the "swack" of the pedi-cab driver that we got to enjoy the wafting scent of as we rode.

The Lady Antebellum Concert!!!

Saturday we took the subway to SoHo, shopped around and ate at Lombardi's.  On the way back, stopped off at "Max Brenner's Chocolate"...and almost died...its a very rich bitter chocolate.

Then flew home on Sunday through Dallas.

Sidenote: while in NYC I saw on Facebook that one of my closest HS friends, UnKyong, was being "checked in" in places all over manhattan.  She lives in North Carolina, but was in NYC the same weekend.  We tried so hard to meet up Sunday morning at the airport.  She was at the 'D' gate waiting for her flight, and we were flying out of the 'D' gate.  I got through security and called her...and we're frantically trying to find each other, only to find out there are multiple 'D' gate at LaGuardia Airport. We were both sooooo bummed.  So close!!
