The week of our anniversary, Jon was out in NYC on a business trip. We were fortunate enough to have Gramma 'Rie come babysit for a few days so I could fly out and meet him for a long weekend to celebrate our 10-year anniversary! It is amazing how quickly 10 years can fly by. I guess we have accomplished a lot though-travel, double grad school for Jon, several jobs, two homes, and three beautiful children. We have a really great life, and had a fabulous weekend to celebrate it!!
I popped into Harry and Izzy's at the airport for lunch before flying out. I have never been a great flier, so had a delicious Bloody Mary before to help calm my nerves. It was a pretty good flight until just outside of NYC when we hit some wake turbulence. I didn't even know that this was a thing, but apparently there was a big jet in front of us, and we were in the same flight path. Not fun, and the lady next to me was freaking out!! I think that's what the tiny passengers on Ollie's planes feel like when he throws them across the room... We landed safe and sound though, and I jumped in a cab and headed to check in to our hotel and meet Jon.
View from our hotel room. Love the big city!!
Our first night in Times Square. We saw Once on Broadway, which was fabulous! Then we headed over to a Cuban restaurant to grab a snack before bed.
Friday was our anniversary. We ended up going to lunch, because dinner reservations were almost impossible to get at the fancy restaurants! Jon called right when the reservation line opened up and was on hold for 45 minutes. They were completely booked for dinner by the time he got through, but we took a lunch reservation. It actually worked out great! It was a 3 hour multi-multi course menu of fabulous food, and we loved it!!
Us in Eleven Madison Park for our anniversary meal.
Cheers to us!
After eating all of that wonderful food, we got to take a behind the scenes tour of the kitchen. So cool! We asked about a billion questions, and the kept bringing us treats. We loved it!!
After our lunch, we went back to our room and took a nap for a few hours. We then regrouped and headed out for a long walk through NYC, and ended up cabbing to Little Italy for another great meal! 9 pm dinner was perfect.
Window at Anthropologie. Jon had walked by earlier in the week and there were artists in the window hand painting these nesting dolls. How crazy is that??
30 Rock
On Saturday we met up with our friends Ali and Jeff for brunch at Park Avenue Autumn near Central Park. After another fabulous meal, we walked for a long while through Central Park.
We hung out and strolled for a few hours, and then went back to relax a bit before getting dressed up and meeting them again for dinner at Catch. Yes, we ate our way through NYC and loved every minute of it!! What a great weekend.
