Spencer and I took a little trip to New York City and we took full advantage of the city and the fact that we were without kids for a couple of days. I saw more of that city in those 3 days than I did when I lived there. If you are ever taking a trip to New York, call me, I'll tell you how to cover a lot of the city in 3 days.
Here is what we did it bullet form.
Friday:
Empire State Building,
Rockefeller Center
Park Avenue
5th Avenue
Madison Ave
dinner in mid-town
dessert on the upper East Side at Serendipity 3
View from the top of the Empire State Building, we tried to go to "Top of the Rock" but it closes early, the Empire State Bldg. stays open until 1a.m.
Rockefeller Center in my super cool sweatshirt;) It was just so cold, I couldn't help myself, I had to get one from a street vendor or walk 20 blocks back to our hotel to get my jacket.
One of the highlights from my whole trip. The frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity 2 on the Upper East Side, it claims to have 18 kinds of chocolate in it. AMAZING!
Spencer's lemon cream pie, also to die for.

I'm a sucker for a bakery, I plan my trips around them.
