NYCCC

i just got back from nyc last night! i left on wednesday evening- took the red eye, and got there on thursday morning! my mother, sister, friend allison from san clemente, and her mother came. it was so much fun! we stayed in the marriot marque i think its called in times square. thank goodness for free hotels thanks to having time shares. anyways i fell in love with it! i know everytime i come back from a place i say i want to move there... but man if i have a good job before i am married i am going to move there. some highlights: we saw phantom of the opera, statue of liberty, went up to the empire state building- such a typical tourist thing, went shopping like crazy, found my senior ball dress!, went to st. patricks for mothers day service, saw rod stewart in central park, took a carrage in central park, and just had lots of laughs. and man oh man. i loved it. i have no more money in my bank account. i stoked up on clothes. the whole time i was watching the phantom of the opera i couldn't stop thinking about how long they had to practice and all there life stories.. kind of distracted me from actually watching it, but it was soo good. times square is a blast. i tell ya, i feel real safe in new york. maybe thats because i was in manhattan and not the outside bit of it. but i wasn't worried at all, which is very unusual for me. the people were really nice too. all in all: i loved it.
