New York Trip

So all the boys were gone at the same time during the summer and I decided what better place to have a getaway than going to New York City. Luckily Ricardo was down for it so the planning started right away. We did so many fun things, and went to new places and tried new restaurants on this trip. 

Some of the highlights on this trip was going to Governor’s Island and hanging out at Taxi Beach there with Sara and her husband Efrain. 

We also went to see the Blue Man Group earlier in the day and that was awesome!  One morning Ricardo went golfing with Efrain while Sara and I went to the Botanical Gardens then went back to the clubhouse and hung out while the guys finished up their game. The only thing missing was our big poofy hats so we could really feel like trophy wives! Haha! 

We went to several comedy clubs on our visit. That of course is one of my favorite things to do- who doesn’t need and love a good laugh from time to time right! 

Ricardo and I saw the 4th of July fireworks and now I can happily check that off my list. I’m telling you it was a MADHOUSE! I don’t need to see them up close again, but happy we did just this one time. 

I saw The Heights with Norma, Devin, Sara and Bryant. I really enjoyed that show!  

One day while hanging out at the Blue Fin in Times Square, where I had lunch with Sara, there was a big event going on right in front of us. Turns out it was the big spectacle/ promoting the release of Madden 2011. The New Orleans Saints were there along with the cheerleaders. I decided to keep my window seat at the restaurant and take pics from the inside- since it was ridiculously hot outside! When I saw the team and cheerleaders were throwing out copies of the game and went out and tried my luck. Since I know ALL about football I yelled the magic words and was given a copy from one of the cheerleaders. That was cool! 

Last but not least, I was able to see Papa Duke’s one day (Norma, Sara, and Maddie’s Dad) He is hanging in there, and to say that he is Superman might be an understatement! What a fighter he is. 

Overall, this trip was so much fun and of course I want to go back asap! This may have been of the best trips I have had there.
