A Story about New York City

First I have to say... Nicole is still talking to me! Because after these events... you'll wonder!

On Friday morning we left my house bright and early: 4:15 to be exact. Nicole had to leave her house like 20 minutes earlier... She seriously got the short end of the stick this entire trip! When we arrived at the airport we went through customs... which they made me do by myself... I had to pretty much disassemble my child, her stroller and myself with my one free arm! That was sort of hilarious! But it worked out! Our plane took off at 7:00 in the morning and then we landed in Calgary for a almost four hour layover. Nicole & I kept ourselves busy with dutch blitz. Sophia was pretty exhausted... and we made her a little bed on our flight to NYC which departed the Calgary Airport at 12:30pm.

Here we are in our death cab... please ask Nicole how she felt about our driver... 

Bean was pretty tired... but she did very well. It was only 4:00 our time... but 7:00 NYC time. We are still looking pretty fly at this point!

Here we are in front of the Juicy Couture Flagship store... oooo heaven! Nicole was a good friend and didn't let me buy a $80.00 T-Shirt... she's a keeper! Don't let Nic's smile fool you... she was freezing her little ghetto booty off at this point! 

I think it's funny we are smiling in this picture... because we had already walked down a million flights of stairs with the stroller... lets just say the MTA has no clue about wheelchair accessibility. When we did find the occasional elevator... well.... they smelt like death... literally... well literally they smelt like PEE...  O the adventures!

Here we see Bean all tucked into her stroller! We had suspended toys for her to look at, had three blankets to keep her warm, and had put her weather shield on so she wouldn't be wind burnt (like our faces were)  We were pretty jealous of her by the end of the trip... wishing that we were the ones being pushed around like little Princess Sophia!

Well... Nicole loves Museums... let her tell you about how much she LOVES museums!!!! 

Ok I lied... she now HATES museums... 

New York City has a lot of tourists and they all love going to the museums. After spending two hours in the subway trying to get to 81st St (thanks to it being a SUNDAY and the trains were all running backwards)... we finally arrived at the Museum of Natural History. The only reason why Nicole is smiling right now is because she is picking a giant head's nose... Otherwise... She wanted to run everyone over! I agreed... there were like 40 billion people there!

Nicole... i love your smile here... you can totally tell you are running out of steam! We hadn't eaten lunch or breakfast at the this point! You were like... wow a big dinosaur... now lets leave!!! It was pretty neat to see these giant creatures though!

Choose Juicy always... especially when you find it on sale!

Poor Nicole had to search the city with me for a pair of Wayfarers... Found in Greenwhich Village!!! I was so happy that I wore them in the subway.. and in Times Square... they actually helped with all the LIGHTS.... I kid I kid... just a good excuse!

Baby at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square! (Before I got food poisoning... we won't go into that story... but again poor Nicole)

Times Square

Me very tired.... Sophia chit-chatting with the folks beside us!

East 19th Street... our Street!

Nicole eating her Magnolia Bakery Cupcake... are you tired???

We had a wonderful time on this trip! I'm glad that Nicole is still friends with me after putting up with so much! This means that our friendship might be able to withstand some serious abuse! There were many more stories to tell... I'll let Nic share those with you!
