Rich and I had a blast in New York! We've been home almost a week and I can't quit talking or thinking about it. New York city is an amazing city. We were there for five days and for those five days we were constantly going. We saw two Broadway shows, Letterman show, Rachel Ray (thanks to Cassie Kerby), Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, China Town, Empire State building, and the list goes on! We had a great time with the Sautters and the Wards!
This picture was taken while at lunch the second day we got to the city. If you look closely in the background you will see Mark Consuelos (Kelly Rippas husband).

After we ate lunch, we headed to Chinda town and Little Italy and did some shopping!
Empire State building. We went by during the day and went back at night and took an elevator to the top.

We took a tour of the city on a double decker bus! This is us waiting for the bus!

I swear one day we probably walked about 10 miles. We walked across the Manhattan bridge. This is a picture from the bridge. Our waitress said there is a place called Juniors and they have the best cheesecake, so we decided to walk and we took the subway back. As we were walking back into our hotel, we looked across the street and saw a Juniors! It was kinda funny!

Rich and I at Rockefeller Center!

Crystal, Anna and I at the Today Show! This was also super cool to see! We actually got on TV! I even got to shake Al Roker's hand. Alecia Keys was the guest that day and it was fun seeing Ann Curry and Meredith Vieira!
We visited Ground Zero. We saw the fire station across the street from ground zero, and they got called out when we were there. It is crazy to think about September 11th and what our country went through. I remember life seemed to stop for those few days after.
Statue of Liberty
Rich and I on the ferry going out to the Statue of Liberty! Look at the city in the background. I have to say that the Statue of Liberty was probably one of my favorite things we saw. It was just an awesome sight!
We got tickets to the Racel Ray show! Rich , me , Crystal and Rob got tickets to the Rachel Ray Show! Thanks Cassie! Thanks for your awesome connections! It was so cool to see a taping and see what it takes behind the scenes to actually do a taping. FelicityHoffman (from Desperate Housewives) and the Roloff's (from Little People, BIG World) were the guests that day.
