A surprise trip to New York

Neal travels to New York in Spring and Fall. We hate it that he has to be gone for so long twice a year but we love it when we get to tag along. When each girl turned 5 we took them on a solo New York adventure. This past fall we decided to take the girls together. 

We didn’t tell them anything about it until the morning we left. Gigi and Pop came up to take care of Bubs for the long weekend. When they woke up on a Thursday morning we asked them if they’d want to go to New York instead of school that day...they were so excited.

Neal had to work during the day but he hung out with us at night and a little extra on Saturday afternoon. 

Pizza!


Reese was so excited to visit Carlos because she watches and loves the show.

We rode a city bus to hit several sites and the. Got on a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty up close.

I’m not really sure why but we spent a lot of time at several Gap stores...it’s kind of fitting since Neal and I met working at the Gap 😍.

I took the girls to my favorite Broadway show, Wicked. I hoped they’d love it & they did 👏🏼!

They both really wanted to ride on the subway to we took the subway to Central Park and spent hours exploring the park.

This trip was so much fun and it makes me really excited for William’s 5 year old trip and to take all 3 of them one day!!
