Melissa and I recently traveled to NYC to see the show Hairspray on Broadway. I bought Melissa tickets for her birthday.
On Saturday(3/31) we headed up for our trip. We drove to Newark, NJ and took the train into the city. Subway riding is always an experience - but I love it. I would use public transportation on a daily basis if I could. By three we were checked into our hotel and began to site see.

We had no set agenda. We just roamed around and took in the city. We visited the NYC public library, which was amazing.
After a bit, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the 8pm show.

We then were off the show. The theater was a little less than I expected. I thought it would be larger and have a more formal feel. However, the show FAR exceeded my expectations. It was amazing - the acting, the props, stage, everything - it was awesome. Melissa and I had a great time!

After the show we took in a few more sights.

And then called it a night. The next day we did some more sight seeing. I headed to Central Park to run, but my foot was bothering me, so I decided to walk around. There was a race about to start - a 10K, Scotland Run. I watched as they started the race - there was a lot of runners. It was neat to see. I then went back to the hotel and Melissa and I headed out together. We decided we wanted to go the the WTC site again. We were there 5 months after 9/11 and now it is 5 years. It was interesting to see the progress/development.
We had a fabulous weekend, despite Melissa being attacked...
by a bird.
NYC is always interesting to visit. I enjoy it and think I would have liked living there briefly when I was younger.
Before we left, we made sure to eat a dog from a street vendor.

And then headed home...
