New York!!!!

There's nothing like the Christmas season in New York City!!! I was lucky enough to celebate my birthday (although a week early) in New York along with Ted (of course) and Chris and Katherine Mason. Katherine and I have the same birthday, December 20 (she's the older 1 though only by a few hours)!!! We went to Las Vegas to celebrate last year and this year we wanted to step it up a notch in the big city. We had a fabulous time!!! Everything was so beautiful decorated for Christmas. We walked and walked and walked and tried to fit in as much as possible. Here are some of the highlights (carriage ride through Central Park, tour of the Empire State Building, Broadway show-Jersey Boys, Dinner at Tavern on the Green-although we thought it was kind of overrated, shopping along 5th avenue, Rockerfeller Center, China Town, eating a great italian meal in Little Italy, Grand Central Station, riding the subway-an experience in and of itself, etc. etc. etc. Katherine and I couln't have asked for a better birthday trip, except for maybe a few more days!!! We're already thinking about where we'll go next year!!!
