here we are, in NYC


Although you can't see it, the Empire State Building is behind us. We got here VERY late last night after a crazy taxi ride to our hotel. I was about half a second from throwing up in the cab when I looked up and saw the familiar Hilton sign. So I put my head between my legs and took some deep breaths while Elton paid. Thank goodness that passed! I thought I was going to be sick for our entire vacation.

Today we walked all over, saw protesters outside the UN building and lots of shiny, black vehicles with dark tinted windows and flags from around the world in their windows. We went to Grand Central Station, used the subway, went to Rockefeller Center, got manicures & pedicures, and ate authentic Korean food. Then we got frozen yogurt with mangoes at NYC's popular Pink Berry. Yum!

So, that's what we're up to and where we're at this week. Thanks to my mom, Mel, and Laur, we were able to leave Sam at home and while Elton works, I go out and play with his boss's wife :) We're having fun!

Your belly looks so cute!! Can't wait to see more pics.
And when you say "we" got pedicures and manicures, do you mean you and Elton?? Phew, Its about time. I've been wondering since you guys got married when Elton would get that done. :)
