Tales of A Happy Mother/ Wife and Happy Life: November 2011

Hey Yall! Its been awhile since I have blogged. I have been putting more into my work then blogging this semester I guess! ;) Anyway, most of you know that Chad and I went to New York for our fall break weekend. A lot of people wanted to know how it was and so forth so here is the run down of the trip for you. We left on Thursday after we got out of class. We flew stand by on a college program called AirtranU. We got on the very first flight that went out as soon as we got there and we got FIRST CLASS. I never want to have to sit in the regular class again! We left the airport about 8:00. The flight was originally delayed because of weather. That worked out in our favor I guess. We got to New York about 11:30ish. We took a taxi to our friend Mason's apartment who lives in the city. We went immediately to his apartment and watched the end of the World Series, which lasted until about 12:30 might I add. So Chad and I went to bed about 1ish and then we got up at 3 that same morning. Yeah, it was crazy and we were tired. But we left Mason's apartment about 3;]:30 and headed to Regis and Kelly. We were the first people in the stand by line. We waited from about 4 a.m to 8:30 when they finally allowed us to go into the studio. We got to watch Regis walk across the street to the studio, and then watch the show. Highlight of my trip I might add. After the show was over we walked through central park, Time Square, and down Broadway. We then ate at this Hamburger shake place that was pretty good. Then we met up with Chad's sister for a few hours. That consisted of sitting in Starbucks out of the freezing cold weather. After we left Megan, Chad and I went to the 9-11 memorial. We did not actually get to see it because we did not have tickets, but it was cool just to be in the area and see it through the fence they had up. Since we were in that part of town, we went to Mason's work to get his apartment keys. Now it is about 8 p.m. Chad and I are about to fall over on the street and go to sleep. We got the keys and got a mini tour of Goldman Sacs. We went back to Mason's apartment and rested until he got home. Then we went to eat at this little hole in the wall Italian place. It was pretty good. Then we went home and slept! woo! Day 2: We slept in late and woke up to snow, rain, and wind. We decided to brave the weather and go out to a pretty famous bakery called Amy's Bread. It was SO GOOD! We walked about the city for as long as we could stand it and then eventually ended up at a Georgia bar to watch the UGA game. It was a cool experience because everyone in the bar was an UGA alum, so the place was packed and all cheering for the same team we were. After the game was over, Chad and I went back to Mason's apartment to change out of our wet clothes. Me more then him because I forgot my rain jacket. We then ate dinner at this restaurant called Becco. It was amazing! We ordered this special that they had. You got a salad and then 3 of their pastas of the day which was penne shrimp in a vodka sauce, pumpkin ravioli, and a pesto green bean pasta. They were so AMAZING! Best meal we ate! Then we got the dessert sampler with all kinds of cheesecakes and cakes. It was so great! Then we went home and slept after that! Day 3: We got up and went down to Kliendfields (the Say Yes to the Dress Wedding show). Second best thing that happened to me on the trip. Chad was not really thrilled about this part but i love it! Then we went and ate brunch/lunch at a place called the Dish. It was really good too. We had like a breakfast platter thing. Then we went back to the airport where the drama began. We couldn't get a flight back to Atlanta flying standby because so many flights had gotten cancelled the day before. After throwing a complete crying fit, we settled on buying plane tickets home. Its still a touchy subject for me to talk about because Chad is stubborn. What else is new? Anyway, that was the extent of our trip. It was amazing! I want to go back to badly already! So if you want to contribute to the Megan going back to New York Fund just e-mail me. We can work something out! :) Here are some pictures! Love you guys!
