Don't get me wrong. We love the kids, and enjoy being around them. There is just times that after looking after the needs of two teens and a toddler, plus taking care of the house, each of us with a full time job, Andrea's Pampered Chef business, and me in the very early stages of starting a photography business, that quality time between Andrea and I is basically non-existent. This trip gave us the opportunity to just be husband and wife for a few days.
We did prove to ourselves that you cant come close to seeing NYC in a weekend. That's OK, we have reason to go back. I would love to go there and Christmas shop sometime, and see the city all dressed up for the holidays. I just imagine it would be beautiful.
I think the nicest thing is how nice everyone was. Granted we were in Manhattan the whole time, and they are used to tourist, but we never had any problems. We stopped and asked for directions several times, and everyone was nice in helping us out.
One of our favorite things to do while we are out, and even around home sometimes, it avoid the major players when it comes to eating. I can eat at McDonald's anywhere, so no sense doing it in New York. Besides, the big companies have enough money. The little people are the ones working hard to survive, so we tend to gravitate there. Not once were we given a bad suggestion on where to eat, and the places we just decided to go into on a whim were outstanding as well.
If you have never been, I recommend going to NYC once. It is a place that cant be described, and has to be experienced. Take in a show. Eat in a little Deli. Walk down to Times Square at night. Stand at watch the hustle and bustle of Grand Central Station. Go to the Top of the Rock. Be amazed. We were.
