NYC

I had a great trip up to NYC last weekend to look at the Christmas window displays :-) It was actually cheaper to fly than take the train, so 1 hour up, 1 hour back -- perfect! I stayed at a hotel south of Grand Central Station. No bedbugs to report (whew, thank goodness!)! I walked 13.3 miles on Saturday alone, fueled by a monster chocolate chip cookie from Levain's Bakery. My aunt had heard about them so I went up to 74th St. to find the bakery. I timed it just right, getting there with only 2 people in front of me. The next time I looked, the line behind me quite long. My favorite windows were the ones at Bergdorf Goodman's and at Tiffany. Saks 5th Ave had cute ones too. They were kind of hard to photograph though. I was able to catch the Broadway show "Cinderella", by Rodgers & Hammerstein. The lead who plays Prince Topher is from Richland, WA! Small world. As fun as it was, I was glad I live in DC and not NYC. I'm happy to be back to my nice clean city :-)
