Viva a New York City!

Grand Central Terminal with the Chrysler building behind it.
I had my first girls' weekend since the boys were born. Although I missed all 3 of them, it certainly was nice to get away and feel like an adult again! I had forgotten what it was like to eat out without entertaining two children, or take a walk without a double stroller to push. Amalia, Becky and I stayed in a great 1 bedroom walk-up just one block west of Times Square (if you ever need a rental Vacation Rentals By Owner http://www.vrbo.com/ is the way to go). We saw Legally Blond on broadway (fun show), took the Sex and the City Tour (great way to see the city and if you are a fan like me a must do), and went to the top of the Empire State Building. We also ate at Broadway Joe's Steakhouse, and Otto, one of Mario Batalli's (think Iron Chef America)Italian restaurants. We had drinks with my cousin Sue and her husband Brad and had dinner with Sara. It was so much fun! Here are some of my favorite pics!

At O'Neils (Aidan and Steve's bar called Scout in SATC). Of course they served cosmos!

Cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery (psst....don't tell, but I think mine are better!)


Dinner at Broadway Joe's!
