New York, New York

On Wednesday of this past week, Ben and I headed up to NYC to spend two days and one night with my mom and dad to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. Miriam stayed with the boys and they had a great time and it was nice for Ben and I to get away together. We flew up early on Wednesday, and once we got into the city (we stayed in Times Square), we headed down to the Twin Towers Memorial and took a tour of the site. It was so touching and moving and the tour was lead by two men who were in the Towers on the morning of 9/11, amazing stories and we were humbled they wanted to share their story. On Wednesday night we went to a great dinner at an Italian restaurant near 30 Rock and then to see Wicked on Broadway. On Thursday we got up, had a nice breakfast, walked around Times Square and all through Central Park, while my parents, who are big WVU fans, went to the game at Madison Square Garden-- we on the other hand did not want to pay $200/ticket, so we opted to sightsee instead- which was a good choice for us. We flew back Thursay night in time to put the boys to bed, overall a great break and fun to spend some time with Ben and my parents! And of course it did not hurt that WVU went on to win the Big East division, March Madness here we come!
