A Visit to New York City
Every year, my mom, sister, and I head out for a Mother-Daugther weekend. We go somewhere different every year, and take turns doing the planning. This year, our destination was New York City, where we had a blast!
Although we skipped some of the more obvious tourist attractions, we did find ourselves in Times Square several times. It’s amazing who you meet there.
Because we had all been to NYC before, we decided to take things slowly, and to do some exploring. One day we wandered around SOHO, where we found an awesome art store. (This is where I purchased some of the paper earmarked for my recent glued collage.)
We spent about a half day at “The Met,” (The Metropolitan Museum of Art.) The building itself is extremely beautiful. This is the lobby. Isn’t it gorgeous?
We started our day with a visit to the rooftop. A great place to appreciate Central Park, with skylines beyond. Is this an iconic view or what? (My mom and sister shown.)
Lunch was in the members’ dining room. What an event! Looking out over Central Park, while enjoying delicious food and very attentive service. In keeping with of our “take things slowly” philosophy, we lingered over our meal and really enjoyed the total experience.
My favorite activity was going to the musical “Memphis.” It was the second time I’ve seen this great show and I think it’s my favorite musical of all time! Very energetic, with great music, an EXTRAORDINARY cast, and an excellent story. I highly recommend it.
Gee, we had fun!
