New York

The first weekend in December, my grandpa always takes my mom, sister, and I to New York. We are so grateful for his generosity and we always have a fabulous time. This year we wanted to do something a little different the first day so we took the subway to China town.
We ended up in a secret room and all got fake purses and cheap sunglasses. It was an experience for sure.
We met some friends from home for dinner. Kristen and Blue are living in New York now and it was fun to catch up with them and eat at Virgil's, which we love.
We did lots of sightseeing and shopping and we saw the play South Pacific. It was a great show.



We also met up with an old friend from Palmetto. Noel used to live down the street from us growing up and we hadn't seen her in ages. We got to catch up with her in the American Girl store, while I was trying to decide on which dolls to get Emma Catherine and Bailey for Christmas.
This is Jimmy, the doorman at the Double Tree in Times Square. We have been staying at this hotel for over 15 years and he has always been there. He remembers our name every year.
