New York City

Ever since Eric surprised me and took my to New York for my 30th birthday, we have been wanting to go back.  I have always wanted to go at Christmas time and since Cohen is a year old and no longer nursing, we decided to go in December.  I have never been away from him for more than just a few hours so I was a little apprehensive....but so excited.  Let's just be real here--I knew Cohen would be fine, he is very social and loves anyone and everyone.  I was worried for myself.  

Anyways, we left the house at about 4:30 on Friday morning and Cohen slept horribly all night which is very unusual for him.  When the alarm went off and I got up, he woke up and thought it was morning.  He was ready to party....and eat breakfast.  When Eric and I left, he was screaming in Mamaw's arms which broke my heart.  But she fed him and then he went back to sleep and was completely fine the rest of the weekend.

 We walked like crazy and I don't care how comfortable you think your shoes or boots are, your feet are going to hurt.

 We saw The Highline, Central Park, Times Square, Battery Park, The 911 Memorial, Soho, Chinatown, The Radio City Rockettes, The Lion King and everything and everywhere in between.  

 We ate amazing food at Carmine's, Fig and Olive, Del Friscos, Roxy Deli and tons of other places.

We had such an amazing time and it was so nice to get away with my husband and good friends.  It is good to know that we still have things in common and can have fun that doesn't involve being parents.
