Grammie Visits NYC

Grammie flew into NJ this year to spend Christmas with her two favorite Grand-Girls! During her visit she surprised me and told me she wanted to take me into the city to see the Radio City Rocketts for my birthday. I have always loved the Rocketts, and might have considered it a career choice until I discovered I didn't meet the height requirement ;(  We enjoyed a fun afternoon sight seeing in NYC, which was all decked out for Christmas and oh-so-magical. I drove into the city (yikes!) and parked all day for just $18, which is was a steal!! I made it without getting lost or running over pedestrians doing last minute shopping which was a bonus ;) 

We ate at Bobby Van's for lunch... can we say Lobster Mac n' Cheese!?!?

We had lunch at Bobby Van's.. I had Mushroom Risotto with sliced filet, and Mom had Steak Gorgonzola. We split the Lobster Mac n' Cheese... so delicious and fancy!!

Say cheese Mama!

Next we took a taxi to Central Park. Mom has always wanted to see Central Park, but it was FREEZING, literally there were snowflakes falling! We opted for a carriage ride with a cozy blanket to see the sights. We saw the skating rink, boat house and had a pretty entertaining driver. LOL.

We grabbed a hot coffee at Starbucks and walked down 5th Avenue to see Rockefeller Center and back to Radio City to see our show...

Happy Birthday to me!! Thanks, Mom!

Look at that pretty lady!! 

Inside Radio City there was a giant chandelier... gorgeous!! I know my girls would have flipped out if they could have seen the bling :)

Loved the theater and how festive it was decorated!! 

The show was fantastic, I love the costumes and it was amazing to see the synchronized movements. I left the theater itching to do some high-kicks and sing some Christmas carols ;) We saw Times Square in a pedicab, and the lights were so bright from the screens it was like daytime at 7pm!

Thank you so much Mom for such a special day and some sweet memories! It was a blast getting to hang out and have a Mother-Daughter Day like we did when I was a little girl. I'll never be too old to want a day out with  my Mama ;) Thank you Jarrett for making it possible by watching the girls all day for us to have an adventure in NYC. Love you!! xo
