My sister

My sister is the best, spending hours with Macy, singing, dancing, making cookies, making crafts and giving her plenty of gifts, not that she needs them...we had a blast in Hoboken NJ and even more fun in NY see posts below.....

New York, New York (and Atlantic City)

We were so excited to have my sister come visit us. Its one of the few times that I really go-go-go and do-do-do and I love every minute. This is in front of the cutest candy stores in one of the best malls ever in Atlantic City, needless to say we spent plenty of time and money in there......

below: Macy having a blast in the waves, collecting lots of sea shells and shoving them in my purse we even found sea glass. What a gorgeous, gorgeous day!!




MaKe wAy FoR DuCk cROsSinG!! Here we are in Smithville, one of my favorite spots to visit in NJ. They have the cutest stores from country decor, jewelry, chocolate, ice cream, fudge, and everything and anything to do with the BEACH!!!



Out to eat at Taos, very yummy! other cuisine consisted of: steak, street fair empanadas, smoothies, pizza and that's about it, who has time to eat when there's so much shopping to do!


Probably the best part of the weekend....... Wicked, what an amazing show. Anyone that has seen it, I need not say more.....but I will, WOW, I did not get the "theatrical genes" from my fathers side of the family like my sister (who is an amazing singer/actress) but the show blew me away, I also had no idea it was a love story, who would have thought! worth every penny!! and I have to point out that I think my sister secretly wore green because it matched all the billboards and she looked great in all the pictures, lol!!


Canal street......what more is there to say? except... its so crazy and fun I love it!








New York City from the top of the NBC building. How amazing is this veiw? it was so close to dusk, well okay it was dusk but it wasn't getting dark, so we waited..waited and waited an hour and a half to see the empire state building light up and I wasn't dissapointed when it was red, white and blue for memorial day. We didn't wait until it was too dark because we still had to walk blocks to port authority (bus station) get back to Jersey and we were a little hungry, so we stopped by a fun little place by time square and had a salad. I love New York and the energy, excitement and the feeling you get being "in-it-all" all of the time. There's no escaping adventure when you're in the city.

My next blog will defintiley be a "shout out" to my sis for being so awesome and spending sooooo much time with us, unfortunatley in the car and one-on-one time with Macy. You are the BEST, we love you!!

Surprise visit from Grandma

We are so excited that grandma is here for a visit. A short visit, but we don't think about that. Bob and I were able to take a few days off to spend with Grandma. Over the weekend we drove into Hoboken, walked around and got some great pictures of NY. What a beautiful city. Every time I see it I'm always at awe. Its so awesome.

Macy had her last football game she was excited to have grandma come watch her cheer!

That night we went to Ruth Chris Steak House (of course we had a gift certificate) and we dined on steak and lobster. something we don't do that often. The city was breathtaking at night across the water with all the tall buildings and lights. Macy was on her best behavior and was rewarded with a big bowl of vanilla ice cream.
