NYC

Chris and I took a 10 year anniversary trip to NYC after Christmas. Thank you so much to Gram, Granddaddy, Mimi and Pops for making it possible. We could not have gone without their willingess to keep the girls and take days off work. We had a lot of fun. We found a hotel off the beaten path in the Flat Iron District called Hotel Giraffe. They updated our room to a King Suite and it was great to have all the room--not that we spent much time there.



 
Chris had to get a hat to keep his head warm. It never got much above 25 degrees while we were there. COLD!!
 
Time Square
 


 
Rockefeller Christmas Tree--looked a little puny by now and not a great picture.
 
Pictures from Top of the Rock. Again SUPER COLD and WINDY up there.






 
Grand Central Station





 
Our favorite was our food tour. We and 15 other people met up at Chelsea Food Market--home of Food Network and spent 3 hours eating some really great food.

Red Velvet "Cuppy" Cake


Organic Chocolate Mik--delish!!


Interesting way to package mayo



This panini was AWESOME

Bacon salt


Shepherd's Pie


Beautiful Produce

Sarahbeth's Bakery


 
 
During the food tour he took us up to the High Line.

 



Chris does not like bridges very much but he was good to face his fears and walk over the Brooklyn Bridge with me--or halfway
 
This is my favorite picture. Discovered Chris' love for Theodore Roosevelt. I made him sit down with him and take a picture. I think his favorite part might have been the National History Museum.

Home Sweet Home

 These pictures are long overdue but I have not had time to work on the blog. We were very excited to have Chris arrive home 2 weeks before Christmas. We were able to spend one week at home before heading to Mississippi to spend time with family. After Christmas Chris and I took a much needed vacation to NYC. It was awesome and hopefully I will get those pictures on here soon.
