One thing we knew we FOR SURE wanted to do was go see the play wicked. We only bought our plane tickets 2 weeks ago and the wicked tickets for this week were sold out months ago but we were determined!! After doing some shopping and walking around on time square we decided to stop by the Gershwin Theatre to ask how and if we could get in the drawing for tickets for Wicked for any day we would be there. Don't worry someone had JUST returned 4 tickets for some reason and the guy was like "It's certainly your lucky day, this doesn't happen very often but we have 4 tickets right next to eachother on the floor in the middle section in row J... the 10th row. Whoo!! The play was AMAZING!! I wish we could go see it AGAIN because oh my goodness... it was such a good story, we love the music... it was just so fun!! It definitely gives you a different way of viewing the story of the Wizard of Oz.
This is the stage from our seats. You can see on the left of the stage there are 3 different levels for the cast on the stage and the flying monkeys would fly from all of them and some would fly above our heads! The picture on the right is of course me, mom, caitlin, and ruth.
After the play we decided to take a stroll through Central Park. We found the most beautiful ponds and bridges! We went through Strawberry Fields and got pictures in front of the imagine rock. There were these 2 guys singing John Lennon songs for us while we were there... it was so great!
This is mom and I at the Bethesda Fountain at Central Park. Before we took this picture the whole place was FILLED with people because these 2 guys were doing this show where he jumped over 5 people... and took everyones money of course. :)
Sunday after church we thought it would be a very appropriate activity to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The picture above is from the collection of Jeffrey Koons on the Roof. (What an original name, I know) but there was this giant gold balloon dog and this was a big heart and so we decided to take a picture of our reflection from it! You can see all of us and the beautiful reflection of New York City, and Central Park.
This is Cait and I posing like Egyptians at the temple of Dandor in the Met.

Caitlin and I had our first adventure in New York... by ourselves. :) it was SO great. We took the Subway to Colombus Circle and went to the shops at Time Warner and then walked a block and a half to Gap and Banana and some other fun shops and then we found this great little restaurant called Big Nick's and they had the BEST pizza and chessecake... oh my GOODNESS. It was delicious. We had our lovely waiter take a picture of us before we ate. :)

The picture next to your wicked picture doesn't show up. It is halfway off the screen, fix it. Other than that, it looks like you are having so much stinking fun! I can't believe mom let you go off by yourself...
