New York New York!

Most of our blogs are full of kid pictures, but not this one. This is a post dedicated entirely to a fun grown up trip Tyler and I went on the week before Thanksgiving to New York City. It was a late 5 year anniversary trip and a much needed get away. We had such a great time and even though we love our kids very much, sometimes it is nice to be alone just the two of us (and the millions of people in NYC). And, of course the kids were in great hands with their Grams and Dog, whom made the long trip from Kansas to watch them for us (and celebrate Thanksgiving).

One of Tyler's favorite apps on our camera is the panoramic, so we have a few of these fab shots. This one is of time square, it was just a few blocks from our hotel and the first stop on our trip.
We met this guy.
This is just outside of Macy's, we were there on Monday and they were already setting up cameras and such for the parade.
We weren't planning on seeing the Late Show, but when we were in Time Square an intern from the show gave us some tickets. This was one of the highlights for me, we saw Natalie Portman, Paul Schaffer, Adam Lambert and of course David Letterman. It was a really fun experience.
Since we were only there for two and half days we packed in a lot. After David Letterman we went to the Broadway show, Chicago. It was really well done, but both of us preferred Shrek, which we saw the second night. I know who would have thought. Shrek was just a lot of fun and the costumes were incredible and did I mention Goose from Top Gun was sitting two rows in front of us. Well, he was ..only in New York.
Day two was a lot more sightseeing, we took a trip to the top of the Rock and enjoyed the Manhattan view. We also toured the NBC studios and Al Roker was signing books in the NBC store for his new publication, I think it's some sort of murder mystery.
On Day 2 we also headed to Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy and the World Trade Center sight. And we braved the subway to get there, and we felt pretty awesome as a result. This is us after Shrek our two shows were being advertised together so we had to take a pic.

Jordan would LOVE to see David Letterman... he's pretty jealous of you two right now.
