New York - today

1. LR National by 6 am. Everybody up and at 'em by 5:15. Remarkable.
2. Flight which involved a new card game that S taught me. Game name: BS. I think I should be disturbed by that, but the game was damn fun.
3. Arrival @ Newark, where A told us we were going to take a "texi-cab". And we did.
4. Chipotle by our hotel (we are obsessed with this restaurant Totally chowed down. Can those guys PLEASE open a shop in Little Rock?! Our hotel is nice, but could be ANYWHERE - Dallas, Little Rock, Whatevs. Free internet, but it's damn slow. Nice, clean, big room though)
5. Bus into the city.
6. Walk thru Times Square, then to Rockefeller Center.
7. 30 Rock Observatory. Fantastic. Way better than the Empire State Bldg.
8. Meet up with my sweet bro-in-law, after just a speck of shopping @ jcrew for this adorable jacket.
9. Beer and Shirley Temples, along with a giant cookie and french fries @ a place called Maxies near Times Square (on a side note: I hate Times Square. Seriously).
10. Bus back to our hotel, now movies (for the girls) and wine (for me) in Secaucus NJ

My baby girls hung tough today, despite the massive crowds. We're going to try and ride the Circle Line tomorrow. If we a) have a great time and b) come home safely without the flu and c) get the bro in law married happily, I'll feel like we had an incredible trip.

Sounds like so much fun! I've never been to NYC, even though I lived in upstate NY for 3 yrs!
