Start Spreadin" The News...

I just got back from 

my annual girls trip to NYC.

We're sooo lucky

 to have a friend who works for Jet Blue...

(love ya Jen)

We took the red eye,
so we arrived in NYC at 
the crack of dawn.
Unfortunately for us,
the crack of dawn
 is far too early to check into ones hotel.
After pleading with the front desk, 
and seriously contemplating 
laying down and drooling on the lobby sofas,
they told us
we couldn't even think about
 getting into our room for at least 3 hours...
So...
we just dropped off our bags with the bellman
 and headed over to Rockefeller Center
(looking bright eyed and bushy tailed fo sho!)
to check out the Today Show.
(as the Today Show does happen at the crack of dawn)

The Rockettes were giving a sneak peak
of their "Christmas Spectacular"

We went later than usual 

so we got to see the beginning touches

 of  Christmas...

Hoisting the star to the top of the tree at Rockefeller Center...

Yes that IS a tree underneath all that crazy scaffolding,
amazingly gigantic...  

Were amazed at all the Department store Christmas windows.

Macy's totally took the cake...

Went to the Empire State building...

Saw Harry Potter

uh... I mean

Daniel Radcliffe 

in

How to Succeed in Business

Without Really Trying

He was even more magical without his wand...

We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge 

to eat pizza at Grimaldi's 

saw the Rockettes do this...

here...

and took a stroll through central park...

Farewell New York


Our little town blues
were melted away...
