So, it’s no secret that I love to travel, experience new things and new places but there’s something extra special when it’s all five of us experiencing something together for the very first time and that’s exactly what NYC at the holidays was for our family of five. It has always been on my bucket list to get there in the month of December, especially since we are currently only a few hours away on the east coast so Mike surprised me a couple weeks before we went. Let me just say, it was spectacular. Crowded but spectacular.
Naturally, I had a list of everywhere we were hoping to hit and in about 24 hours no less but we all pounded the pavement when we got there, walked our tails off, went to bed late, woke up early and had the best time in the process. We were able to get to the Rockefeller tree, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Radio City, 5th Avenue storefronts, Times Square, Magnolia Bakery for their famous banana pudding, FAO Schwarz, The Today Show, Central Park and couldn’t leave without an NYC hot dog. It still feels like we didn’t even scratch the surface and all that city has to offer so hoping to get back to check out the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and 911 memorial, all of which Mike and I have seen but something we want the kids to experience as well.
Fun fact: Capri’s first show ever was Frozen on Broadway at the St. James Theatre when she was two!
