NYC-you soon

So after not being away from the kids since Lilly was born in 2008, my parents kindly offered to take them for a weekend so we could get away. With Fitz's points (both hotel and airline) about to expire we decided to go big.....fly to NYC and stay in the Waldorf Astoria! What a time we had....I don't think we could have packed anymore into a weekend had we tried!

We left MHC 9am on Friday and caught a direct flight from Wilmington to Laguardia, then cabbed it to the hotel...what a location!! Then we changed and headed out to one of the many adventure we had planned (needed to check things off the list). First up, Millrose games (104th running)! We saw it all: 60M dash, shot up, pole vault, collegic 4X800 (Congrats to Virginia and Vig), then the event of the night Wannmaker mile! We managed to meet up with a buddy Fitz ran with at State.....then it was out for drinks with said friend, Chris Lear, Vig and other running nerds :)!

Inside Madison Square Gardens at Millrose Games!

Can't be in NYC without running through Central Park (we ran both days), but this was Sunday with our NC buddies Heidi and DT.

Another Must Do: was the museum of sex. Need I say more....somethings were interesting, and others were down right disturbing!

We used Sunday as our day to sight see.....Where else can you see a guy totally rocking on a piano in the middle of Washington square park. Look closely and you will see the straps he must have used to drag the piano to the park! What an amazing thing to see!

On our last day we hit the Museum of Natural History.....needed a full day in there, but we only had a few hours. One of the must see's for Fitz was the dino room.....I just hope to take Lilly and MJ someday. It was an amazing place!

All in all we had a great trip; Millrose games, running in Central Park, took in a show, celebrated the Chinese New Year in Chinatown (talk about feeling out of place), drank too much at the hotel bar for free (gotta love the perks), and then came home to the most amazing kids and parents a gal could ask for!
