New York

I was originally going to try to update my blog quite frequently while we were out here in New York, but we have four days left and I have yet to update my blog. Ha!
Well to start, New York has been amazing. We have done everything we ever wanted, first step was New York pizza at Grimaldi's. Honestly the best pizza I have ever had, a little tiny place under the Brooklyn bridge, where they only accept cash and you have to wait outside in line for usually close to an hour. Then they sit you at a table directly next to someone else. But it's all worth it, best part is the cheese. I love New York's cheese.
Dan and I have been lucky enough to go to a Mets game and a Yankees game, both games were so fun. But I remember the Mets game being absolutely freezing. Good times.
For our wonderful one year anniversary, Dan took me to eat at the Olive Garden in Times Square (it was perfect because we went and ate at the Olive Garden on our wedding day in suit and dress), then after dinner we went to my first ever Broadway show. It was a play called The Normal Heart. I loved it and Dan and I were able to go to many other Broadway places while we were out here. Wonderland, Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked. All for a very decent price too!
We ventured to Ground Zero one weekend, and I was disappointed that you really couldn't see anything, but at the same time you just had that feeling that this is where it all happened and we had to take a moment and remember.
I am having a hard time remembering everything...
Central Park is amazing... It's honestly the biggest park I have ever seen in my life and I have probably only seen a small portion of it. Dan and I even took a row boat out on the lake that they have there. Which was wonderful in the hot, hot day that it was.
I took many trips to fifth avenue to admire all the stuff that I can never afford, including many trips into Tiffany's to stare at the sparkling diamonds. Loved it.
Times Square really is a fun place to visit, it reminds me of Vegas, only better. That might be personal opinion, because I don't really care to do any of the gambling and drinking in Vegas, but Times Square you will see the most diversity of course 90% of the people there are tourists, but you are constantly hearing a different language. Truthfully all of New York City is that way, you are always turning and seeing different people all around you. I just love all the bright lights and fancy screens that they have up. Even Chase Bank has their logo spinning to compete with the Times Square wonderland.
The subway is also an experience, crammed into a subway car, hearing the screeching breaks, being thrown about as the subway is tossed and turned in the underground tunnels. I really love the subway, I think it is the most amazing form of transportation, but my hugest fear is that I would fall into the tracks and not be able to get out of the way of the train. I have been safe, but I have heard of that really happening.
Oh, I forgot the most adventurous part of this trip. My getting lost on the subway. It seems like forever ago and I am such a pro at the subway now, but this one time I went to visit Dan for lunch and he told me how to get there and I was confident that I could do it by myself. So I took the subway for a while and then I had to get off to do a transfer, and I went right to the spot where Dan told me to go and I got on the train. This train wasn't the right train, this train went to Coney Island. So I am riding this train probably for 30 minutes, before I start to think this isn't really the right train, so I have to get off to call Dan since the Subway never has cell phone service. And I call Dan and I have no idea where I am and I start crying my eyes out and I just want him to come find me, even though we don't know where I am. So he tells me how to get back, so I go get on another train and take the train for a while and then this guy tells me that I am heading to Queens and that I am not on the right train, once again crying, finally I find something familiar and take it a couple of stops to Dan's work. Meanwhile, Dan hasn't been able to get a hold of me for a while(let's say an hour or so), so he has told my mother and my father that he lost me in New York City. My mother of course is in hysterics and I am crying to much to talk to anyone. It was all very exciting and it actually is hilarious now thinking back. Lesson learned, be more observant about which train you are getting on. And get a map.
Wow! New York really has been the best and we are going to miss a lot of things about this place, but we don't have air conditioning and we want to come home.
Okay there is as much of an update about New York as we're going to get. I am grateful for the adventure Dan and I were able to take, and I will always remember it. But we are coming home Utah... get ready.
