My sister won The Price is Right about a year ago. Yeah, I'm related to a celebrity! She didn't just win a small thing, she won the whole show! It was pretty awesome. Anyway, she won a few trips and took me on one of them. Her husband couldn't go, and it worked out easily for me to go (with some REALLY nice people that watched the kids some of the days), so we went at the beginning of April.
We took subways the entire time we were in New York. (Being Jeff's wife, we couldn't have done it any other way!) It was actually so fun and I am proud to say that we didn't take the wrong train once!
We saw Elmo and knew our kids would get a kick out of a picture!
The Gothic Cathedral in the middle of Manhattan
As part of her prize, my sister won a tour with a private driver in this very nice car. It was a definite highlight! Our driver's name was Zlotka and we just loved him. He got a kick out of us because he has two young daughters. He told us a few funny stories about them!
He drove us all up and down Manhattan and also over the Manhattan bridge (on the far right of the picture) This picture is taken from Brooklyn with Manhattan in the background.
It was a pretty foggy day, but if you look to our right, you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance. We had already been to NYC a couple of times in the past and decided to forgo the ferry ride out to see the Statue of Liberty closer. I still think it is the coolest thing and wish we would have time to go see it. It is such an awesome symbol!
This is in Times Square one night
We took hardly any pictures, so here are some of the highlights:
- Wicked--so AMAZING!!! We just loved it so much. I actually had a picture, but it wouldn't transfer over for some reason
- H&M. I love it. So excited we are getting one!
- The subway
- Bargaining for junk on Canal Street
- Running for a long time trying to get to Lombardi's pizza and not having time to eat there because it took so long
- Playing the on flight trivia game--a surprisingly good time!
- Finding little places to eat that were so yummy
- Laughing and having a good time. Thanks Melissa, it was a great time!

SO fun!
You were wonderful company! I'm probably going to link my blog to yours since I don't have any of the pictures. :)
I LOVED New York. Glad you guys had a good time!
that is so cool!!! i'm so happy you guys got to share in that experience together!
Fun, fun! I'll bet the fact that the trip was so cheap for you made it that much more enjoyable! It would have for me! I'm glad you got to go! Those are fun memories you'll always remember.
That looks/sounds like SO much fun! Glad you had a getaway.
And thanks again for all you did for us over the past several months. We love you guys!
How FUN! Some day I will go to NY but I don't think it will be the same as winning a trip
