This trip with all my sister in laws and Mona was a blast! I would be lying if I said that I was really looking forward to it and that a part of me just really didn't want to go. You know me, never wanting to do anything new. I was almost tempted to say no to the trip (I'm crazy I know) because for one, it was over Mother's Day, and two, I knew that I would get no sleep (yes that is a big factor to me). But I also knew that I would miss out on this very awesome opportunity. I mean its not every day your sister in law offers you a plane ticket and a hotel room for a long weekend as a gift. I would have been stupid to pass it up. So I went and had so much fun and I now have some great memories.
Our flight left at midnight on Thursday night (it was delayed an hour) and no I did not sleep a wink on the 4.5 hour flight. Lucky me. Once we got there at 7am, we drove an hour or really sat an hour in traffic to get to our hotel The New York Palace. Once there we met up with the rest of the sisters. Some of us showered and ate and then we all headed out for the day. We went to the MET, the library, rode a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, almost walked across the Brooklyn Bridge (ran out of time), went to church at the Temple meeting chapel, went to St. Patricks Cathedral, went to ground zero, shopped, rode the subway a lot, ate a lot, saw the broadway show Cinderella, went to Times Square, went to Central Park, saw very scandalous things in Central Park, things I'd rather not write about, ate more food, ate a lot of tacos at an underground put your name on a waiting list must pass the bouncers kind of place (and we thought we were so cool because of it).
My only regret is that I didn't dig deep enough to find my bravery to ride the subway solo to go run in Central Park on the last day. Very sad. It was so fun to be with Tj's sisters. They are so fun and crazy and hilarious. I am so blessed to have married into such an awesome family.
Love them all.
I did not love however my flight coming home being delayed 5 hours and not getting home until 3 am (5am NY time!) and then climbing into bed and having TJ wake up and leave at 7am to catch his flight to Pittsburg for the week. That's right, I still have yet to see my husband and even tell him about my trip that now feels like happened so very long ago. But if you want to look at the bight side I was able to go to bed early every night and sleep in since I couldn't wake up early to run and so now I think I am finally caught up on sleep!
