We had one of the best trips ever in New York this past September, it was such a blast in a great city with great company. We've got all the Young girls, including the newest of the bunch- Brenna- who we are so excited to have in the family, and the Monson girls minus the Aly's (we missed you guys!!) I have a million pictures I'd love to put up here, but I will try to condense. We all flew in from different states and arrived at our three bedroom practically free apartment (thanks to Kristi for the hook-ups!) after a near death ride through the ghetto. (thanks to Kristi again....the girl can drive.) We shared one bathroom between all nine of us for four days and had so much fun.
The highlights:
lots and lots of food from yummy places like:
Crumbs
Shake Shack
Carnegie Deli
Grimaldi's
Thai and Indian food (don't remember what they were called)
lots of gyros and candied nuts from street vendors...delish!
-Trying to get a good jumping pic of the whole group. First in Time Square--where we all shed our shirts and put on our I heart NY shirts. This didn't cause a scene at all. Then again by the Statue of Liberty. I was the one with issues. Everyone would be in the air in a perfect pose and I'd be the dumb one on the ground getting ready to jump. And of course, Stacy's frigging hilarious faces in all of them. So so funny.
-Mom passing all of her stuff onto others to carry and then sprinting across Brooklyn Bridge.
-Being so tired on the way home each day but then staying up late talking.
-Eating all day then coming home and immediately breaking open the candy.
-Meeting my new sister-in-law! (Kris is engaged!)

(In case this sounds familiar I was too lazy to write this part of highlights so I stole from Marianne muahahahahh... don't judge I'm tired and I only have a few moments of silence in my life and I should be in bed. I'll try not to plagiarize the WHOLE thing. But it would be a whole heck of a lot faster...)
Ground Zero
This is an overload of jumping pictures, but they were so funny!
Check out those awesome faces!
Brenna and her new bf... looks like Kris has some competition... This guy was really talented though, he could just sing and rhyme all day off the top of his head.
Fashion week was the week previous and all the windows had awesome displays- these dresses are made out of candy.
This was so funny- jumping pics right in the middle of time square. Thank you Kristi for making us take so many pictures!!
Wicked: Best. Show. Ever.
What was the name of this pizza place? We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to get here and waited in line for an eternity... but it was so yummy! And the owner (?) loved us b/c Kristi had her baby. Thank you Jacobson.
Brooklyn Bridge
Sorry Aud, I just thought the look on your face was priceless.
Carnegie Deli, best cheesecake. Yum, I'm drooling right now.
Love your buns Aud... ha ha ha
What is a girls trip with no candy??? Thanks goes to Aunt Susan for remembering the goods. This was one of the best trips I have ever taken, we just saw the sites, ate good food, laughed til we cried, stayed up late, took too long getting ready, shopped, saw shows, and chatted for hours. I'm already looking forward to the next one!! Love you girls!!
