Girl's Trip!

I have the best girlfriends in the world. We lived together all through college and made some of the very best memories I have. Unfortunately, we are now spread out all over the U.S. LJ lives in San Diego, Britt is in Utah and I'm here in DC so we often have to do a girl's trip to reunite. I'm so lucky because they have come out to DC now many times! This time we decided to make a little trip out of a trip and head up to the Big Apple. We were only there two days but we definitely made the most of it by squeezing in as much as possible!
Right when we got there we got tickets to see Mamma Mia. Then headed to Central Park to have lunch on the rocks. I had never even seen the movie Mamma Mia. What a lucky choice because it was the perfect show for three girls!
The story (for anyone else who hasn't seen it) involves a mom and her two best friends doing a whole lot of singing in a whole lot of glitter. That's not the main idea of the show but you can see why I'm saying it was perfect for three girls. The disco outfits that the three girls wear in the play are hilarious. LJ, our little clothes designer and seamstress promised to make the outfits for Halloween this year if we promised to wear them. Guess you'll be seeing me sporting one of these beautiful ensemble in the near future...

Next we went to the famous Serendipity for dinner and of course the frozen hot chocolate.

We had a blast walking all over. There is something so electrifying about NY at night. I love all the lights and TONS of people. This is people watching at it's finest.

Along the way back to our hotel LJ somehow lost her shoe in this fountain. Maybe that's why you aren't supposed to climb/in her case "ride" the statues. Hmmmm

The next morning we attempted to go to the Today Show to be out on the plaza. However, I'm embarrassed to say we slept through it! Only a half a block from our hotel and we missed it. Sad but also really lovely.

We took the subway down to the financial district and walked and shopped our hearts out.

What would a girl's trip be without a little chocolate?!Of course our last stop before heading back to DC was some ice cream on the street.

After our NY adventure the girls stayed with us in DC for another week. I LOVED having them here!!!!

And so did this little man

See? He was pretty excited to be surrounded by ladies!
