My mom and I escaped to New York City for a quick trip before I start work on Tuesday. We visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, attended two Broadway shows, went to the Statute of Liberty and Ellis Island, and ate at Tavern on the Green....all in 2 1/2 days!!

We saw Wicked our first night in New York. Wicked is a musical about the wicked witch of the west from "The Wizard of Oz". It is a fabulous musical and I would highly recommend this show; you will be singing the soundtrack for months to come afterwards! It was awesome to see the actual show after listening to the music for the past year. I loved wearing these hot red shoes to Wicked!
I am very proud of this picture I took of the Statute of Liberty from the base of the pedestal on Liberty Island. I have become a Statute of Liberty groupie; I now own a Statute of Liberty T-shirt, tote bag, key chain, and tasteful Christmas ornament.
My mom and I on the top of the pedestal of the Statute of Liberty with Manhattan's skyline in the background. We are sporting coordinating Statute of Liberty T-shirts and tote bags. If you can believe it, people kept asking us if we were from New York while wearing this tourist garb!
Me at Ellis Island. I loved Ellis Island. It was so fascinating to learn about all the immigrants that came to the United States through Ellis Island. I would highly recommend visiting this historic site.
We couldn't resist seeing Legally Blond the Musical on Broadway. It was such an entertaining musical with fun music and dancing. It was different enough from the movie so that there are some surprises. If you liked the movie, you will love Legally Blond the musical!
Tavern on the Green is a historical and famous restaurant in Central Park. We had lunch in the Crystal Room of the Tavern. There was a beautiful ambiance, wonderful food, and great company. I had a fabulous, memorable trip with my mom and I hope that there will be many more to come!
