New York, New York

Lance and I got back last night from being in New York for the last five days. Lance needed to go to New York for a couple of days with work so it was great to tag along and spend the weekend in the city together. New York is a special place for us because it is where we got engaged New Year's Eve 99-2000. It was so fun to go back to Central Park and stand in the the exact spot where Lance got down on his knee and proposed. I have never seen Lance more nervous than he was before he proposed.

This is Belvedere Castle and with fireworks overhead Lance asked me to marry him and the rest is history.

With the inspiration of our sister-in-law, Ashley, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. My favorite work there is The Dance Class.

Lance just liked the sculptures. Needless to say we leave a lot to be desired when it comes to art appreciation, however we had a great time.

Our Broadway experience included Mary Poppins which we loved. It was very entertaining with great music and stage effects. I would highly recommend it!

Lance humored me by going to the bodies exhibit. He was a little hesitant because Lance has no problem with a 300 lb lineman running at him but if you even try to draw his blood he passes out in seconds. Suprisingly, Lance really liked it! The exhibit is fascinating with the way it breaks apart the different body systems and displays the cadavers. Who knows Lance maybe it isn't too late for medical school.

Our trip also included a trip to Ground Zero, Rockefeller Center, and shopping. The best part was being together ( just the two of us) which anyone who has children knows is a rare treat.
