Just a week ago

First: Fly to Pittsburgh to pick up Jill.
Next: Hershey, PA. Tour of the factory by some cows, lunch at the Hershey Pantry... yum.
Then on to Philadelphia (FYI, if you take a wrong turn looking for Independence Hall it's not hard to end up in New Jersey).
Here's our group (Kelsy behind the camera) in downtown Philly, walking around Independence Hall and the liberty bell museum.
Jill and me taking on Rocky's training routine.

Next stop... NEW YORK CITY!!! We walked out of our hotel and on the right was the GERSHWIN THEATRE where we'd be seeing WICKED on that unforgettable Saturday night.

We arrived Saturday morning, and let me tell you, having a day completely dedicated to shopping and eating is an awesome way to do NYC. If it wasn't raining, I probably would have spent a lot more money that day, so it's probably a good thing we got soaked.

Wicked was unbelieveable. What a great show. I've had the sound track running non-stop ever since.

Easter Sunday morning we got up and went to church in the Manhattan Temple building, then walked through Central Park. I loved Central Park, everything was blooming, the sun was shining, it was really really pretty. Afterward we had a delicious brunch at Josephina's- a cute little place just around the corner from the church, then took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm editing this trip for blogging purposes, because if I included every detail it'd be a really l o n g post. These are just a few pictures of some highlights- and if I'd taken a picture of my sandwich on Saturday, that would be on here as a highlight for sure... mmmm.

Overall, this was a five-star trip with my mom and sisters. I love my family!!!!
