Bright Lights, Big City

We just spent this past weekend in New York City! We planned a trip to visit Tyler's sister Amy and my girlfriend Stacy from college. (They are NYC roommates) We were able to plan for Tyler's parents and his aunt to be in town for the weekend as well so it was a great way to spend the weekend!

We got in town on Friday night and after meeting everyone we headed out to a bar for tapas and cocktails. We drank champagne and danced all night!

We woke up Saturday morning and Tyler's parents had gotten into town. We headed out in the rain for brunch at the Boathouse in Central Park. Even in the rain the park was beautiful! We took the scenic route even though the restaurant was "just around the corner." We quickly learned that New Yorkers have a very interesting perception of this term!

We had a very relaxing afternoon and got ready for dinner and the theater that night. We had a great Italian dinner in the Theater District and then went to see Blithe Spirit with Broadway diva and Tony Award winner Angela Lansbury and Rupert Everett from My Best Friends Wedding. It was a funny play about a man who is haunted by his 1st wife who has passed away. We stopped on our way from dinner to the show when we passed Restaurant Charlotte!

Saturday night after the play we headed out to a bar where one of Tyler's fraternity brothers works. It was great seeing him and hanging out there for the night!

Sunday was actually rain-less! So we took the subway south and walked around a little in the village.

We also stopped for pictures in Washington Square Park!

Thats us under the arch....really small!

It was GREAT that Tyler's dad got to spend Father's Day weekend with his kids!

We kept walking and stopped to check out the HighLine. It is a train track that has been turned into a park. The views of the city are beautiful and the park is incredible. I think I drove everyone crazy stopping for pictures every 3 minutes!!

After the park we stopped at the Chelsea Market which is where they film all of the Food Network shows. All of the little shops inside were so cute and we had lots of fun with the camera!

We stopped for drinks on a hotel roof and then grabbed lunch before Tyler and I had to go back to the apartment and grab our bags to head to the airport. It was a great trip! We loved everyone we got to meet and had so much fun spending the weekend with Amy, Stacy and Tyler's family!! We are already talking about our next trip to the city...
