girls weekend!

my sisters and i went with our mom on a trip to new york last June.
Chloe, my baby sister, is all grown up and thinking of attending NYU next fall.
eeeeeeaaarly plane ride...

a trip of 'firsts' for my sisters!

first yellow cab ride & first NY subway ride

quick shot in our hotel room before heading down to campus for the tours.

Chloe and Hallie waiting for the NYU informational meeting to start.

NYU is a beautiful campus!
this is the view from an empty room near the cafeteria, i think?

we did top of the rock instead of the empire state building.
my mom and i had already gone up to the empire state building.
top of the rock is way cooler, i must say.

i found a gorgeous hydrangea plant in Rockefeller center that i wanted to take home.
(no way that would fit in my suitcase)

my sister had her first NY street vendor hot dog

the three of us being tourists in super crowded time square

we lunched at the American Girl cafe inside the multi-level AG store!
 (we were the only table of adults only, ha!)

AG even has little high chairs for your doll, or doll for the day if you don't bring one.
molly was my doll when i was a child, so i used a molly substitute for our lunch.
we had a good time :)

 the food there is really, really good.
 its tea party style, but with yummy three courses that even your dolls get to "enjoy."

this was my second trip to the store, and third trip seeing the amazing AG empire overall.
i possible may have forced my husband into the store on our Chicago trip, and when we visited NY last February...

 
my first trip to the Guggenheim!

 we also made it to the Natural History Museum

my favorites are giraffes

and of course i had to take them to on more firsts!
serendipity3 for frrrozen hot chocolate
and
pinkberry  for a slightly more healthy dessert
my favorite pictured...chocolate with strawberries, and sometimes chocolate dots or nuts
(okay maybe we went to pinkberry more than twice)

 and one of our last stops was a trip to dylan's candy bar
every child's dream

i somehow only got shots of the main candy station on the entry level, sorry. 
or adults who never really grow up...

this was my fourth time visiting the amazing city.
i don't think i could ever turn down the chance to back!

blog business

if you haven't noticed...
my blog redesign is completed!
much cleaner than the old blogger layout, don't ya think?

i like the tiled photos i discussed here the best.
thanks to bighugelabs.com for the mosaic and elise for the inspirational kick that i blogged about a few weeks ago!
three columns are the way to go, seriously. and the mosaic maker is SUPER easy to use.
hopefully more items will be added as i get back into the swing of it!

~ let me know what you think ~
