NYC with Momma

I was lucky enough to spend the day yesterday in NYC with my mom. Last year's birthday present from my mom and dad was a trip to NYC to see a show, and since my next birthday is coming up fairly soon, we thought that it was about time for the trip.

Mom arrived on Tuesday night and spent the night at the Nelson Bed and Breakfast (which she thought was just lovely!) and we took a Beiber bus to NYC on Wednesday morning.

We arrived in NYC around 11:00 a.m. and headed straight to the TKTS booth to get tickets for a show. There were a few that we talked about seeing, but ended up with tickets to Ghost The Musical.

After our tickets were secured, we headed to The Shake Shack to grab some lunch. We took our burgers, fries, and shakes to go and enjoyed them al fresco in Times Square.

The show was good--it was definitely entertaining--but not the best show that I've seen. We still had a great time, and it was nice to spend the day in the city with mom.

We've got another jam-packed weekend planned, I'll be back with updates.

Nothing but Nelson in NYC

Brad and I have had the pleasure of spending the past few days in New York City. Brad was there for a work event, and I was just along for the ride. We had a blast, seeing some sights of the city and spending some time with his friends and co-workers. Brad got to NYC on Wednesday, and I joined him late Thursday afternoon, in time for the cocktail party.

On Friday (while Brad was in meetings all day), some of the other spouses and I (and Luke, too!) had a chance to explore the city. After a quick breakfast, we headed Rockefeller Center before going to the NBC Studios for a tour.

We were not permitted to take photos during the tour, but we saw the studios where they film the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, Saturday Night Live, and the Today Show. After the tour, we made a quick stop at this lovely little shop...

Where we enjoyed these treats...

Nate--thanks for the recommendation! (He suggested we check out the bakery)

We headed back to the hotel to get ready for the evening festivities. I may or may not have talked Brad into visiting the Shake Shack with me. Delicious!

We also checked out Times Square so I could play tourist with my new camera. 

That's for you, mom!

Friday night was a fabulous dinner dance. Brad's coworkers are a LOT of fun to be around!

After exploring the city a bit on my own on Saturday morning, we met up with Matt and Shannon to explore Eataly and Central Park.
