New York, New York

Dave + Delta = Major Flight Benefits


Since Dave started working for Delta, we've planned a few trips. We decided to start out small and took a quick weekend getaway to New York! We took the red eye on Friday night and had only Saturday to see everything we wanted. Our first stop... Times Square. I thought the police department was really cool...





Central Park


This is the bridge in "Enchanted" where the prince jumps off and gets run over by the marathon runners... love it! There were so many cool bridges in the park.


This is where we think they filmed that part in "Big Daddy" where Adam Sandler throws the sticks in the road to make the roller bladers fall into the lake... this is Dave pretending that he's rollerblading.

On top of the Belvedere Castle in Central Park (this park is huge!)


The Subway Singers
Of course we had to have some pizza. I thought about ordering "The Joey Special" (for all of you Friends fans) but that would have been way too much pizza for 2 people. This was delicious!


Ahhh... Rockerfeller Center. This was probably my favorite part of the trip.


Outside of 30 Rock!


Dave and I both love Kenneth the Page so when we saw a real life Page giving a tour we had to get a picture! He even looks a little like Kenneth...


And finally Madison Square Garden. My sisters and I grew up as big NY Knicks fans so it was nice to be in the "Holy Land".


Last but not least... the Subway Dancers. We thought they were pretty good. I love the head spin... it reminds me of Step Up 2. We ran into them after an accidental 45 minute detour to Harlem... we were trying to go 5 blocks and ended up 75 blocks in the wrong direction!
We didn't get a picture of the Manhattan temple but we were able to go in and do a little temple work while we were there... that was an awesome experience.
For our next trip we think we will be a little more daring, a once in a lifetime experience... we're thinking Israel!

Oh Teresa that's so cool that you guys went to New York. My husband and I also went for about 1 day and a half and had a blast. I want to go back so bad, (can't wait till Ariana is a little bit older). I think getting lost on a trip is actually a great way to see the "real" culture and treasures a place has to offer.

You guys are having too much fun! (Which is good, really... because those of who don't get to travel can live vicariously through your blog updates!)

That is so cool that he works for Delta. I am jealous that you guys can travel so much for so cheap. Definitely take advantage of that! I love New York, looks like you guys had a great time.
