New York City Getaway - Day #3

Our third day in the city we decided to head back to Central Park. We just couldn't get enough of it - and did I mention the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT weather?!?! Yeah. Amazing.




We decided to go boating . . . 




Kissy-face!



Okay - believe it or not - this photo is real! We actually convinced Sarah to kiss on camera! Ha!




That's us down there. Dan hopped out to get the view from above.


Besties!


Window shopping!


HARRY WINSTON!


Then we headed down to Little Italy.



Asking directions to the Italian food market - from this awesome Italian guy.
I love this photo.


We found it and I got some awesome Parmigiano Reggiano.


We ate lunch - and though my pasta was good, we all agreed this was the only part of the trip that was less than perfect.
(It doesn't help that I'm just a LITTLE picky about Italian food . . .  :)




Cannoli!


Here I am with the owner of Caffe Palermo.
Nice guy, but the cannoli? NOT great.


One of my favorite places in the city: Chelsea Market!



Another favorite: The High Line!


Saw this and loved it. 
True.



We ended our awesome trip with yet another Broadway musical,
Mary Poppins!
(A friend from my major at BYU was in this production too!)



The show was so well done! Bert and Mary were fantastic, but I have to say my favorite was Mrs. Banks. Her voice = the real deal. Gorgeous. Loved it. I was so glad to see this! I'd been wanting to see it for years. (There was one WEIRD scene though - the creepy toys? Ugh.) Overall, it was a great great night of theater!


We were so sad our trip had to end.
It was so fun to hang out with Sarah and Dan again!
It was BY FAR the greatest NYC trip Jacob or I had ever taken!



We were definitely ready to see the boys again, though. 
(And I have to say, we were better parents for having taken the break!)
Ciao NYC. . .
Till next time!
