finishing out our nyc trip...

our first two days in nyc were by far our busiest. on sunday we slept in a little and then headed to the tkts line to try to get discounted tickets for that nights performance of "Mama Mia". when we got there the line was incredibly long...we would have been waiting all day. so, we headed to the theatre to see if we would have any luck there instead. while we were still in times square debating what to do we saw this guy wandering around so i had to get my picture made with him...

as meagan was taking the picture he was telling me,

"most people give me like a dollar for this"

haha..."so your hugs aren't really free?" i asked!

we ended up getting a fairly good deal on our tickets to the show that night. there was an usher hanging around in the lobby (the matinee was getting ready to start) and he told us to find him at intermission and he would see if he could move us to better seats!

when we left the theatre we headed to 59th and lexington and did some retail therapy before heading back to get ready for the show. the play was really good...and we did find our usher and he got us into some great seats for the 2nd half of the show!! they were awesome!

the next morning we didn't set an alarm clock...bad idea. luckily meagan just happened to wake up. she woke up at 11:40 and check-out was at noon...not good. none of us had packed anything the night before, so that will explain some of the pics you are about to see. we did get out the door by 12, and the hotel held our luggage for us because our plane didn't leave until 6 that evening. we headed straight for central park. i love central park! it's so amazing that new york has that big beautiful piece of land in the middle of such a huge city.

how did meagan end up looking like so good???

when we left central park we went to fao schwartz...we were all about the toy stores on this trip!

the piano from "big"

a lego johnny depp!

we had one last stop to make before heading to the airport. we ate at the shake shack for the second time of our short trip. they have amazing burgers, fries, and shakes!

and that, my friends, was our trip to the big apple! can't wait to do it again : )
