Well folks, today was another pretty full day and I've got the pictures to prove it! We started our day on top of the Empire State Building. The view was a little hazy, but great. We wandered around South Manhattan a little (not nearly enough, but we have plans to go back!) and then came home to get ready for our first big night. Tonight was the first of our Broadway show outings. Jen and I saw Phantom of the Opera which was the first Broadway show for both of us (I've seen a touring production of Les Mis with Joni--twice--but this was my first NY Broadway show!) After the show, we had dinner at Sardi's--that restaurant with all of the actor caricatures.
And just a little note about 'coming home'. Folks, here's a tip from someone who knows: if you ever come to New York, sublet an apartment. It's so nice to come home to a 'home' and not some cramped little hotel room. Kudos to Bonny for the idea! Ok, now here are today's pictures:

Jen on the Subway. After we took a few pictures, we started talking to this lady on the side of Jen. She turned out to be a retired school teacher and was SO sweet...we've found that most of the native New Yorker's that we've met have blown the New Yorker stereotype out of the water. They have been SO friendly and helpful!
Bonny went to see Spamalot while we were in Phantom and when we came out to meet her, the actors were coming out to sign autographs. This is Christopher Sieber. Jen and I were too short to see over the crowd so we stood behind and waited for Bonny while she took some pics. While we were there, we couldn't help but eavesdrop on his conversation with some friends. Apparently, "the blonde was ok for a while, but it's got to go" so he's getting a haircut tomorrow. Ahhhh, the lifestyles of the rich and (somewhat) famous! ;)

NYC Trip: Day 3--the Intrepid, a three-hour tour, and more shots of the city
Today was Memorial day so we decided to be good American citizens and attend the Memorial Day Ceremony on the deck of the USS Intrepid. After we inspected the ship, we went on a three-hour boat tour around Manhattan Island. And of course now I'm posting WAY too many pics! If it makes you feel any better, I took 365 pictures today and I'm only posting the ones I liked the best... ;)
...and Jen makes three! Today was the first day all three of us tripped about. Let's see how it went, shall we?
