So back in September Ben and I decided to go to New York City for one last hoorah before the baby. We had a goal to make this trip before we started to have kids, so since the baby came a little earlier than we planned we had to hurry and squeeze this trip in!
We has so much fun and we able to do the trip for relatively cheap. My friends husband works for the airline so we were able to get buddy passes. They were a great price, but we had to fly stand by which was super nerve wracking!!! We were never sure about our flights, and were always on the edge of our seats waiting to see if we were going to make it on the flight. Luckily we made all our flights and made it to NYC on time, and obviously made it back.
I also have a good friend who lives in NY, she and her husband were heading out of town so they ever so kindly offered their apartment to us while they were gone. This helped out a ton, hotels in NY are ridiculous, luckily our neighbor works for Marriott so she got us a discount for the night that we did have to stay in a hotel.
We has so much fun we tried to see just about everything possible!! The Pictures below are a bit jumbled but I think you will get the point.
We went to: bubba gumps, The Seinfeld restaurant, Yankees game(probably the highlight of our trip), FAO Shwartz(the toy store from BIG), Dylans Candy Store(Dylan is Ralph Laurens daughter, and she opened up her own candy shop. Soo cute!), Crumbs (the most amazing cupcake store! I think I still dream about those cupcakes), serendipity, central park, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and every where in between.
We went and saw a Broadway show called American idiot. I have to say it was not the best.... it was a little much for me with the loud music and the language. I did like the singing in it, the singers had really great voices. I did not love the choreography though... you can only do a head bang so many times! I like Greenday so it was fun to hear all their songs, over all I give it a 6.
Ben served his mission in New York so he took me to see one of his areas in Spanish Harlem. The area was interesting, I think we were the only Caucasians around and Ben pointed out a drug transaction to me... good times. We stopped by one of Bens apartments, then Ben took me to a pizza place he and his companions would frequent for lunch. The pizza was soo good, and it was huge, it covered my whole plate, I always wondered why New yorkers liked to fold their pizza... not just because they are weird New Yorkers but out of necessity!
Well enjoy the pictures!

Looks like you had a great time! Thats so fun you were able to go before you had a baby. Thats one thing I wanted to do before we started having kids was go on a few trips. I think NYC was one of my favorite places to go I'd go back in a heartbeat. We were lucky too we had one free plane ticket & my in laws have hilton points so between the two it saved us a ton of money.
That looks so fun! And so awesome you were able to do it so cheap! I will see you at your baby shower!!!
You look so cute Aims! :) Loving the pictures!
Looks like you guys had a ton of fun! You were way smart to do it before the baby came. NYC is a hard place to take babies!
