This one time I went to NYC

This was my first time ever really being out with just my SIL's for a few days. Leading up to this I was really excited but super nervous. What if they end up not liking me? I've been in the family for nearly 7 years and we haven't gotten to hang out with each other. 

Needless to say, I think we all had a blast.


First day we did A LOT of walking and thrift shopping. Then MORE walking. BTW, hailing a taxi is more difficult than movies and television make it out to be.




Loved Time Square. 



A friend of a friend made reservations at Max Brenners. I highly recommend eating here and saving room for desert. It was amazing.


The next day we did MORE walking and hung out in Central Park where we ate hot dogs and gyros.




We were near the LDS Temple so we decided it was more than worth visiting. Wish we would have done a session but just going inside and seeing how different yet the same it is was refreshing. Especially after being in such a gross and crowded city.

When you walk in, you come to a security desk. To the left of it are the big wooden double doors that lead into the Temple. To the right is an elevator that lead to two more levels. The 2nd floor is a genealogy center and distribution center. The 3rd level is a meeting house. Members were there decorating the gym for a ward halloween party while primary kids were in the chapel practicing their songs. I was a bit amazed that the meeting house was set up just like any other meeting house. It was very cool.


After our show. It was my first broadway production. We tried really hard to see Evita but the only tickets left were $105 for partial view. Instead we saw Peter and the Star Catcher. It was really good and very funny.


Our last day we hit up the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We ran out of time to see everything this museum has to offer. Seriously, we didn't even come close to seeing half before we had to catch our taxi back to the airport.







Love these girls even more.


Our flight ended up being the very last flight before the airport closed down because of Hurricane Sandy. I kid you not, our flight was supposed to depart at 5:30pm. It was running late and the LaGuardia airport was scheduled to shut down at 6! So glad we didn't get left behind. 

We missed you Christie and Kim!
