More, more, more NYC

Saturday was the day to see as much of the city as we could squeeze into our waking ours.  We made all kinds of plans.  We woke up, stayed in our pajamas, and talked the whole day away.  We aren't sure how it happened...yes we are...we just couldn't stop talking.  At last, we got showered and dressed and went out for dinner.  We had tickets for an 8 o'clock show...we had to get dressed.  

Anne had hurt her back the day before our trip.  She still came out on the trip, but because of her back we ended up taking Taxis around town most of the time.  

We had dinner at this great Thai place near Times Square.  The food was pretty good.  I thought I had eaten better Thai food out here in California but it was still yummy.  The best part for me was this crane out front of the restaurant.  I knew Colter would have loved seeing this crane...so I had to get a few pictures for him.  

On our walk to the theater district we passed the theater where Hamilton is on.  It was thrilling!  Our theater was just across the street from Hamilton so we took a picture and stared jealously at the people in line for Hamilton.  

We watched Fiddler on the Roof.  I loved the movie as a kid and had most of the songs memorized.  It was great to watch live on the stage.  Just before our show started, I got a call from my oldest sister.  Another sister is going through some family troubles and we had to chat about it for a few minutes.  I already knew the play was going to make me emotional...knowing a dear family member was going through difficult times did not make me cry less.  I cried for the whole opening...the whole first act...I couldn't keep it together.  Sweet Ashley kept holding my hand and giving me side hugs.  She is going through troubles of her own but she reached out with comfort for me.  I am unbelievably thankful for her and Anne.  They are lovely friends.  

The second act was just as fantastic as the first and I cried just about as much...it was such a great show!

After the show it was a quick trip through Times Square and picking up some souvenirs for my kiddos.  The people show in Times Square was almost as entertaining as Fiddler...almost.  

Anne did my make up before going out...I cried plenty of it away but the eyebrows remained. 

Chalk art on the sidewalk.  Turns out they draw on a canvas that can be rolled up and moved.  Interesting.
