take my word for it wednesday.. new york city was amazing!!

i have been absent far to long!! but i have an excuse.. i was preparing for, in and recuperating from my trip to new york!! for shell's graduation present my mom took shell and i to ny for a week, and let me tell you it was amazing.. we had so much fun!!

we stayed at the roger smith which was spacious and comfortable.. shell and i stayed in our own junior suite and my mom stayed 5 floors away in hers.. {she planned that way} he he

it was a warm one they were experiencing a heat wave and the weather was 92 with 90% humidity.. but that didn't slow us down.. {well not much}

we took a 72 hour hop on hop off tour and got to see everything.. we got vip passes so no waiting in line for us.. which was awesome i highly recommend it!

the buildings are amazing..

i absolutely love the architecture in ny..

i so want to live in ny :)

this was originally built as a hospital and the reason there are so many turrets is that they believed at the time if there were no sharp corners they could cut down on a bacteria building up..

we "hopped off" across the street from the apollo in harlem and low and behold was a clothing store and yes shell got clothes ha ha cute ones!!

we visited the metropolitan museum of art.. which i truly loved!!

ok some of the pictures scared shell..

ok most of the pictures done during the revolutionary period scared shell

the softer, subtler pictures where more my speed...

i absolutely love this monet i could sit for hours and stare at it.. if i lived in ny i believe i would go to the museum once a week..

we "hopped off" at 5th avenue and bob wanted to have tea at the plaza.. however shell did not and she won out and we had lunch {twice, because it turned out to be so good} at the food hall in the basement of the plaza.. i had lobster mac and cheese one day and the next day a fig and prosciutto flat bread. both were wonderful...
