Hershey, PA/NYC

Breakfast at the famous Hershey Pantry.

Mitch and I left the kids in Utah with my wonderful Mother-in-law so we could go to PA to look for a place to live for the next three years. While we were there we decided to take advantage of the freedom and take a trip to New York. It was a crazy 24 hour trip. We had no plan and no idea what we were going to do, all we had was a hotel reservation. Despite the lack of any preparation or any planning it was a great trip. Our hotel was great. Just a few blocks from Central Park and Time Square, with amazing veiws. We check into our hotel, I am ashamed to admit, took a nap (we were tired!) then walked to Time Square where we hoped to form some sort of a plan for the evening. What we found was the half price ticket booth, where we got tickets to "Shrek; The Musical." Which was really funny. We really liked it, Mitch even liked it and he's not a theatre person. In the elevator on the way back to our room we over heard a conversation about how much better it is to go to the Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center) than the Empire State Building. So the next morning that is what we did. It was really cool. The fun thing is you have great views of the Empire State building, the Chrysler Building and Central Park. And there is no line. We hit up a few stores. I even went in to Tiffany's & Co. but there was nothing there in my budget. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon in Central Park. It was beautiful. We had a gorgeous sunny day. The trees were blossoming, and we listened to some great music. 24 hours from when we check in our car we picked it up and were headed back to PA. It was a great little mini trip.

FAO Schwartz, the hotel, and the M&Ms store.

Beautiful Central Park.

If you look close you can see a baby bump. It came on a little sooner for baby #3.
