Too Much in One Night - New York Day 2 Pt.2

Wicked - On Broadway - New York City

Now it was time to get all dolled up and go to Broadway. The strike had ended a day before we arrived in New York and I was ecstatic that the lights were on in Broadway once again and we would get to see Wicked. I had long heard great reviews of Wicked and had always wanted to see it, my brother worked hard to get us last minute tickets and I am so thankful for that. James again was hesitant on going to a musical he wasn’t sure what to expect and although he was up for everything, in his head he thought it might not be too exciting. We stepped out of the New York subway in the middle of Time square and made our way to The Gershwin Theatre. The streets were crowded with people everywhere and we were running late but luckily we made it just in time and James even had time to stop for a bite to eat and go to the bathroom before the curtains opened. The show was absolutely everything I had expected and more and for James, it was a ton more than he expected. We loved the show and couldn’t stop talking about how funny and amazing it was. Definitely a great start to an even greater trip.

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.
