Bryan and I just took a trip to New York (just the two of us) for our anniversary! We had such a great time walking the streets of NY and seeing all the sites! I did some research before we left and Amanda's sister (Andrea) lives there, so she helped us plan our days out and met us for dinner one night at a delicious Mexican restaurant.
I was a little nervous when we left because Tori threw up the night before we left then Bryan caught something. He was so sick the whole first day. It was such a long flight for him. I spent the first night in NY shopping by myself then brought food back to the hotel and ate at the desk of our room. What a great start! It ended up fine, though. The next morning we were up and running.
This was the view of our hotel and the Chrystler building. I loved our hotel (NY Helmsley) and the location!
This was walking into Times Square.
I just loved the Macy's building for some reason. Our buildings just don't look like this here! It was such a huge department store.
Empire State Building.
My buddy Matt Lauer...whom I love! I love watching the Today Show and we got to be on it...at least I hear we were on it several times.
The view from the top of the Observation Deck of Rockefeller Plaza.
Eating at Sarabeth's for brunch...delicious! We ate outside since it was right across from Central Park!

We took the Staton Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty.
Ground Zero...such an amazing site.
Grand Central Station
We went to cheer them on, but we did not do a very good job at getting to the different places. It was mostly my fault so my dad said he was taking over next time.
Tori put lots of smiles on runner's faces.
