New York City with Amy

It's impossible to try to describe our spring break trip to NYC, but I'll try! Every trip we've made to the Big Apple has been exciting and wonderful. This one was extra special because Amy had looked forward to it for a very long time. She and Irby planned everywhere she wanted to go, and the days were magical. We had a truly terrific, grand time! We saw Nathan Lane in "The Addams Family," one of the closing performances of "Riverdance" at Radio City Music Hall, and the lovely Catherine Zeta Jones and gracious Angela Lansbury in "A Little Night Music." We ate at John's Pizza, the famous Sardi's, the quaint and delightful Alice's Tea Cup, (now a requirement for us every visit!), and the tiny, packed Serendipity. We saw the St. Patrick's Day parade, much of Central Park, the World Trade Center location, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Museum of Natural History, Times Square (of course!), toured the NYC Library, and on and on the list could go. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

We ended up in the limo with 4 ladies from Mansfield!!

The NYC St. Patrick's Day parade goes on for hours!

Two NYC firefighters...they insisted I keep on my St. Pat's crown!
