Last Saturday was my birthday. I was expecting an outing – just an outing… and maybe a nice dinner somewhere. What I got from my husband (←) was a surprise four day trip to New York City complete with a gorgeous hotel room, a nearly all day trip to the Met, a special stop at Carlos Bakery, amazing food, any store or site I wanted to see, and it ended as a crescendo with Les Miserables on Broadway. It was a truly wonderful weekend and I’ve informed my husband that I’m ready to go back aaanny time he wants to take me.
Please enjoy the following artsy photographs as my documentation of our journey.

Thank you so much! My husband should get major extra credit for stopping patiently every time I wanted to take a shot. It was quite a challenge as I had Vertigo the whole time we were in NYC and I couldn’t take as many pictures as I wanted. (I almost tossed by cookies at the Met – now THAT would have been blog worthy). Next time I’ll take more.
