New York Recap.......

This past weekend I traveled with two best girlfriends to New York to celebrate our birthdays. The three of us became friends while working together at our junior college almost 10 years ago. Since then we have gotten our degrees, gotten married and 3 children have joined our group.
Our weekend was jam packed with activities and we rarely got time to eat breakfast or lunch! The weather was mostly beautiful with a few rain showers. All in all it was a wonderful time spent with two good friends enjoying my favorite city in the U.S. The highlight of the weekend was seeing Wicked and eating at Magnolia all in the same night. Truly, I couldn't have been happier if I tried.

The Cupcake Mecca of NYC, one of the four locations has a
bouncer there due to the high amount of people visiting each day! Love this picture! On our way to dinner and then on to see Mama Mia!

We are enjoying $29.00 worth of drinks here. This was a martini I was drinking. Worst one I have ever had.

Dean & Deluca where we ate breakfast.

Beth surprised us with having cupcakes delivered to our room for our
birthday. They were delicious. I ate more than my share.

Dinner before WICKED!! The owner of this Italian restaurant was kind enough to drive us to the Gershwin Theater in his fancy suv!!
WICKED!!!!!

I have seen Wicked 6 times now. Beth 3 and Court 5. We love
this show and already have plans to see it next June!!After Wicked we went to Magnolia for cupcakes! I had been looking forward to this stop all month!! I bought a Pumpkin Pie & Banana Cream Pie Cupcake. Ridiculously good.


We sat at the Rockefeller fountain and enjoyed the view as we scarfed these down!

We finished the night at the Empire State Building at midnight. Due to the lack of our subway skills we made it home that night to the hotel at 2 a.m. I HATE the subway!

Sounds like you all had a great trip! Wish I had a picture of you three when you found out you got a producer's tickets to Wicked. These are memories you'll cherish for a lifetime!
