Rawr!

 There's a dinosaur museum in Thanksgiving Point so obviously I had to go. Realized I don't know too much about dinosaurs and need to learn A LOT more! Kinda obsessed hah

Its been a while...

So... I decided that I need to get back to this blogging thing. I moved to Utah 3 months ago and need to keep track of all the things I am doing here :) Theres a little bit to catch up...

One of the first things I did when I moved to Salt Lake was to go to a Salt Lake Real soccer game with my brother. Since there are not many other professional sports teams here, gotta go with what ya have. Gotta say, it was pretty fun.

 So a little story about these guys... If you look closely at the guy on the right's shoulder, it looks a little dirty... Chris had noticed that there was something on it. As we were debating whether or not it was a bug or a leaf, the guy on the right not only smashed the bug but smeared it all over his jersey with his arm. 

After just a few minutes of being at the game, I almost hate to say it but Im a Real fan now :)

Site seeing

There were so many things to go see..

Top of my list was to go to the M&M store. And you know that big bag of M&Ms im holding is for me haha.

We found the NBC gift shop. Okay I LOVED this place. I got some Pysch stuff and you know that book Sleepy Kittens from Despicable Me?! Ya I got it for my niece.

The Rockefeller Building... Well where the shops are. We went up to the top of the rock too

It was awesome. It was fun seeing the whole city during the day because we had only seen it at night before this. 

Radio City

A view of Central Park. It was huge.

Roaming around we found this little beauty. Finally got to see the company where my Wall Street Journal comes from!

We went in the Toys R Us store. Chris found his name tag...

Okay and im such a nerd, I know. But honestly one of the most exciting moments of this trip was finding Wall St. 

And the NY Stock Exchange. I just wish we were there earlier in the day so I could see it in action. Good thing we went before all this 'Occupy Wall St' crap was happening. 

We had to walk all over the city to find this little guy. But we found it. And I was not happy. First of all this was in the middle of the road! And people would not get out of the way so I could take a picture. It seriously took like 30 min to get this picture..

This is what it really looked like. And let me tell you, so tourist don't know how to move after their picture is taken. I was about to go crazy on some of them.

We ended our very eventful day at a Mets game. It was not nearly exciting as the Yankee game. They need help with their marketing efforts and getting the fans excited. Maybe a position I could move to New York for?! I wish!

Rumors of hurricanes

With the news that a hurricane was on its way, we couldn't waste one single night. First stop...

Empire State Building!

We got to go up to the top. It was amazing to see the whole city lit up at night.

Such a fun night :) You cant really tell in this picture but the sleeves of my shirt were flapping everywhere! I was so embarrassed, I looked like I had wings!! hah

And so the fun began :)

 One of my favorite things about New York was the Metro. Love that thing!

It seriously took you anywhere and everywhere ya needed to go :)

The first day it was poring! Just my luck right? But that didn't stop us. First stop, Natural Museum of History.

This is the museum that is in 'Night at the Museum'. So cool. We had to walk around the whole building to find the entrance but it was definitely worth it.

While we walked around we ran into all of these beauties.. I mean what the heck is a bull moose dog run?!

Chris caught the magic of NY :) 

Doesn't take much for me and Chris to be entertained... hah

We spent so much time in that museum but it was tons of fun. Whenever we thought that we were about done, we would find a new room we hadn't been to.

Entry way to the museum.

Dum dum give me gum gum.

The museum is right off of Central Park so of course we had to make our first trip there :) I LOVE that park. I wish I had more time to spend exploring it.

After a long day of walking all over the museum, we needed some grub. Chris was so excited to get a hot dog from one of the little cart things.

He ordered the jumbo hot dog and it was seriously the smallest hot dog ive ever seen! So funny... at least he got the experience right?!

Yankees!!!

So we finally made it to NY and then it happened.. I fell in LOVE! With NY of course :) We didn't want to waste our first night in the Big Apple so we took the Metro and went up to the Yankee game.

So.Much.Fun.

I don't think we could have started off the trip any better!

The new Yankee stadium was so beautiful!

There were so many fans too. Which was super fun for the atmosphere but let me tell ya... I have NEVER had to stand up so many dang times to let people go by in my life! I think they all planned it hah.

After the game we took the Metro back to our hotel but stopped at a little grocery store thing on the way back. Totally had a convo with the cashier about the game and I am pretty sure I blended into the whole NY scene :)

The beginnings

We didn't want to waste a whole day sitting on a plane going to NY so we got a super early flight. (At this time 4am was early to me, now 4am is just a regular day). But the morning was not good to me. See...

We kinda got a little restless on our flight.

This is how Chris looks when he gets tired. Beware!

The flight was so long I guess I turned into a morphed beaver or something hah

Anyways, I found out that Photo Booth can provide a little bit of flight entertainment.
