The Lowry's: Day 1 in NYC

Well....about 2 summers ago my friend COurtney said lets plan a trip to NYC. I said ok...wondering if we would ever do it....we just got back!

We had so much fun. Our friend's Casey & Brandy also went and I could not have asked for a better trip or better girls going with me.

So I am going to post it by days...

Day 1

We flew out very early Wednesday morning. We arrived in NYC around 10:00 am. We dropped our bags at the hotel & headed to Chinatown. We ate lunch at a chinese place with hanging meat in the window...this was a challenge for me. It was good though. We then went on a VERY shady purse buying expreiece that led us following foreign people down streets ...avoiding law enforcement...and finally Brandy getting a VERY cute Louis Vuitton purse:) It was a lot of fun to experience. After that we headed over to the Brooklyn Bridge. After a little subway mishap..we finally arrived. Those trains can be tricky! The view was gorgeous and interesting as snipers lined all the buildings around us. We heard the VP was in town and that was what the security was for...but neat to see anyway. We then walked FOREVER and a day & found a discount ticket place where we chose to see Mary Poppins. We then walked to wall street and pipe-dreamed for a moment:) We saw a beautiful church and then visited the World Trade Center site which is nothing but construction right now. Afterward we hopped a subway back...got quick showers( all of us ready in 1 hour...it was amazing) and made our dinner reservation at Becco. Very yummy! We then walked through Time Square and headed to our show. Mary Poppins was fantastic!!! Afterward we were exhausted & after getting some pretzel M&Ms and touring the M&M building...we crashed a little after midnight. It was a very fun-filled day. We slept a little less than 5 hours & day 2 began.....

At Birmingham airport...very early:)
