New York {Day} 1

 
Remember that time I didn't blog for a month and went to New York during that time and didn't tell ya??????
 
Yeah this post is about that!
 
Warning the next couple of days will be lots of pictures, so if you are like me and like picture books more than books with lots of words (aka novels) then you are in the right place!
 
This New York trip was to celebrate my sister Hannah's 21st birthday!
 
My mom (Lori Mayo), Hannah, my bff Alyssa and I took off early May 15th and headed to the BIG APPLE!!
 
Our limo ride from the airport to our hotel
 

 
This was lunch at the most amazing Italian food restaurant ever!
 
Carmines! 



 
This delicious lunch was Parmesan shrimp and the special - mussels, clams, shrimps, and scallops!
 

 
This is little Hannie posing like Beyonce! 


 
Times Square!
 






 
St. Patricks Cathedral
 




 
Grand Central Station
 
I kept waiting for my flash mob to break out with Justin Timberlake as the ring leader!
 






 
Our first subway ride!
 



Brooklyn Bridge




 
A girls favorite store.....
 




Allegedly...if you rub this bull's balls then you have like really good luck for the rest of your life...we may have gotten a little out of hand......no pun intended.







We had to take a picture of the Killarney Rose Bar since its the rose of Delta Zeta!
 


The first night in NYC we took a boat tour of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty
 



View of the Freedom Tower from the Hudson River - All 1776 Feet!
 





This was our awesome tour guide, Danny!
He sang happy birthday to Hannah and the New Yorker's loved them some Texas girls!


This was our first night out, outfits....we tried finding karaoke bars in "k-town" also known as Korean Town but had no luck!
 
Also, "k-town" and Koren town are not my words, there Danny's.
 


 
After looking back at our pictures now, I can't believe all that we did in ONE day!
I am starting to see why my feet are still hurting....
 
 
Xoxo,

I {Need} Big Things....

 
Z is fully convinced that I need big events or something to look forward/work towards to keep me occupied. Now, that may be right, but who am I to let my husband think he is right ALL the time!

My future kitchen...and I say MINE because its my favorite place in the house!
 




We have had so much fun picking out paint colors and looking at the furniture we will be purchasing for our new home!!
