oh, how much fun did i have on my girls' trip a few weeks ago!!! president's weekend, i joined 5 of my samford girlfriends in NYC! my college roommate, lacey, lives on the upper west side with her hubby and baby boy so 3 of us crashed her place. thank you, lacey!! we came from charleston, birmingham, florence and memphis and got to spend 3 full days playing, eating, shopping, celebrity stalking and having the time of our lives! it was so awesome! thank you to my husband and my in-laws for taking care of my girls while i was gone. i loved NYC, but i have to say, this laidback charleston girl had a tough time keeping up with the pace. i kept wanting to tell people to slow down!!! can't wait for our next trip...probably somewhere warmer with sun and sand :)

day one - my flight thur night got cancelled so i flew out bright and early friday am. i negotiated laguardia airport and getting a cab and made it to lacey's apt safe and sound. my friends jaime and carrie got there the night before so we visited for a while and then headed out for the day. we ate lunch at carnegie deli and then did the double decker bus tour. we got to see lots of sights, got off and saw ground zero, bought some t'shirts in chinatown, etc. it was a great way to see lots of landmarks. we met our other friends who flew in that day, valerie and lauren, and ate a cupcake at magnolia bakery, so yummy!! we then all went and ate italian at carmine's for dinner. oh, it was delicious!!!!

So glad you had a girls trip! got to have a Mom trip to NY[thanks to my precious Andrea and Greg] we also went to Carnegie deli[reminded me of my growing up in Miami] NYC is amazing but I am thankful for our 'laid back south'
but found New yorkers to be friendly and very helpful contrary to everyones conception
never felt threatened only to come back to Marietta and be accosted by a homeless person in the parking lot of Kennestone asking for money!!!!!amazing
Love to you all and praying for Forester and his family
give your sweet girls a hug and kiss from us
