A few weeks ago John and I and baby Coen went to New York City. We went to visit our good friends Ryan and Dana Broderick. We had soooo much fun. It was so nice to be able to eat out and see things and not have little ones rushing you along. Coen was the best little traveler too. We got to see so many fun things. It was great to spend the week with the Brodericks. We loved staying up late at night and talking. Honestly some of my fondest moments of the trip were talking with Dana. When our husbands were in MBA school we saw and talked to each other all the time. We also spent a summer in Phoenix together while our husbands did their internships and that was a blast. Dana is a great friend and I really have missed talking to her all the time. When she moved to England we obviously were not able to talk as much and it was great to go visit her there too. I really hope that they move back here.(Hint, Hint!!) We were even able to squeeze in a girls night. We went to see Mama Mia on Broadway. I have never seen a Broadway show that was really fun. John and I are still talking about how we wish we could have stayed longer. NYC has so many cool things to see and do. We went to Times square, Broadway, SoHo, Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, rode the Staten Island Ferry, saw Ground Zero, went to Little Italy, China Town and walked pretty much everywhere. The only draw back I think is the subway is utterly disgusting and they are not stroller friendly. I am glad that we only had one kid in tow or we have had more trouble. John got a lot of exercise lifting the stroller up the steps in the subway. Fun was had by all and it was a much needed vacation. Thanks so much to the Brodericks for hosting us and to Dana for cooking us breakfast every morning- You're awesome DANA!! And many thanks to Audrey and Mia who gladly gave up their bed and room to us!!! Their girls are so cute. And thank you Tori for sharing your high chair and toys with Coen!!
