New York is a crowded place

The weekend before Christmas, Kevin came with me to NYC for a Women's Health Conference I was attending. He only had to find things to keep himself occupied for 1.5 days while I was in the conference. The rest of the time we got to go exploring together.

The weather was less than ideal, hence the serious lack of pictures. We tried to stay indoors, mostly. And we had a super cute picture of us in front of the big Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, but alas, it has disappeared. I'm thinking it might be on the external hard drive. Let's hope.

Times Square

Out in front of Macy's: The world's largest department store.

Yes, I do believe that there were more people inside Macy's at this particular moment than were probably in any other part of New York City combined. Kevin and I wanted to seek shelter from the harsh elements, so we came into this ginormous store. Apparently everyone else had the same idea. The decorations were pretty cool...

The kids toy section was fun. It was decorated like a big circus scene. Kevin and I were shopping for toys for our unborn children.

He even found some friends. I think they have a lot in common, except Kevin needs more eye makeup and a spandex suit. :)

Other fun activities: Going out to eat with Kevin's cousin Jason and his wife Bethany and their friends, drinking non-alcoholic drinks at Hard Rock Cafe so we could get the souvenier glasses, elbowing our way through crowds in Toys-R-Us and seeing the giant indoor ferris wheel, watching Tale of Despereaux in the theater, and BEST OF ALL seeing In the Heights on Broadway. Loved it. Need the soundtrack now.

Things we learned in New York: We never want to live here. People, people everywhere. We're not so much the big city types.
