New York City - Day 2 (Part 1)

Rockefeller Center

The late night before combined with the extremely comfortable bed at The New York Hilton caused us to sleep our day away and we didn’t get out of bed till 1pm. Today my heart was set on one thing and one thing only Ice skating in Rockefeller center. James had never been ice skating before and I could tell he was hesitant but there was nothing about to stop me I even threatened to go by myself. For the last four years I have gone ice skating at Rockefeller Center during Christmas when the big tree was lit and I wasn’t about to miss it this time around. We stopped and got Gyros on the way and ate them in line as we awaited the next skating session. We waited about 30 min and then we entered the rink, rented our skates and got out there. Of course it was crowded but that didn’t stop us from having the time of our lives. James caught on really quickly to skating and at the end of the day ironically he was the one that wasn’t ready to leave. We skated for two hours and took multiple pictures by the beautifully lit up tree. During our skating session there were two marriage proposals. It was so amazing to be a part of and everyone there was aweing and ohhing it was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back again next year.
