Hello New York City

Day 4 – Goodbye DC, hello NYC
We flew from DC to NYC on a smaller plane than the one we flew over on, and guess what, we didn't even get snacks or a drink, they ran out of time.  We landed at Laguardia and found our bags, which was much easier than I thought, considering that it was a very large airport.  Then we went to the curb out front and was able to get a taxi that actually fit all of our luggage.  We drove to Manhattan on what seemed like little side roads and our hotel was not far from Times Square at all.  Our hotel was actually called The Manhattan at Times Square and the taxi driver found it without too much effort.  I don't think he was going to stop at it, until I noticed we were there and told him that is where we needed to get out.  I can't remember for sure, but I think our taxi only cost about $30, which is what we were kind of expecting.  When we got to the hotel we were able to check in, but couldn't get into our room until later that afternoon, so we decided to go to 5th Ave.  They hotel stored our luggage for us while we were gone, and I might mention that I thought I would have some time to do my hair and change clothes before we went shopping, hence the cute outfit and fabulous hair.   Some of the pictures are selfexplanitory, but we saw where the film the Stephen Colbert show, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, NYC Library, Saks Fifth Ave., many fancy stores, Trump Tower, Tiffany & Co., where we got fun pictures and I also bought some perfume so we could get blue bags to take pictures with.  We did find a TGI Friday's along our walk and decided that is where we would eat lunch, which I think was really the only meal we ate that day, except for the breakfast Brenda made for us that morning.  We walked around a lot longer than we thought we would but got back to the hotel in time to get ready to go see Wicked.  We loved it, IT WAS AMAZING AND FABULOUS AND ALL OTHER WORDS OF THE SORT.  It is really a good thing we don't live in New York, because Jerika and I would just want to go to Broadway every single night, and it isn't really cheap.  Our tickets were right around $100 a piece, but worth every penny.  After the show we walked around Times Square a little and then went back to the Hotel and went to bed.  We slept pretty good that night, we were so tired.
