Concrete Jungle!

Well. We're in New York City. The Concrete Jungle. Basically it's amazing. We're having a blast! I'm going to give you a photo rundown of what we've been up to here!

(THIS BLOG CONTAINS A LOT OF PHOTOS! IT COULD TAKE A MINUTE TO LOAD)

We parked the jeep at the Newark Airpot. Took a train into Manhattan! (We got in trouble with the train nazi, because we didn't know where to put our bags.)

We came out of Penn Station with beating hearts and glowing eyes, because we were finally in New York City! We took a taxi to our incredible hotel, the Pod Hotel. The pod is kind of like a youth hostel, but nicer! We have a cool room with bunk beds and little private tvs!

We have to share bathrooms with other people on the floor, but the bathrooms are super nice!

Our Hotel has a really cool rooftop lounge we can chill at!

On the first day we wondered through Chinatown and found the Brooklyn Bridge! It's a beautiful sight! Especially because it is in so many books we have read!

We got tired. Went back to the room and took a nap. After we woke up we went on a mission to find cupcakes. This city has some great ones. Sadly, however, we forgot to take the camera on this part of the journey. But here are a few more pictures from day 1 in NYC.

DAY 2

Day 2 was great!

We slept late!
We ate good food!
We saw STEVE FREAKING CARELL!

First we went to the top of the Rock! THe view was incredible!

SO then we went to this crazy harry potter exhibit. Basically they had every prop from every movie including all of the wands, most of the robes, and even a life size Dobby! :D :D :D

Afterwards we just wandered around time square.

That was until Brooke decided we needed to chocolate. So we went into the Hersey's Store. (this is where our good fortune began.) They handed us FREE! yes FREE! Chocolate! then when we were leaving we must have looked so nice they gave us more FREE CHOCOLATE!

SMILES!

Then....

This lady walked up to us and asked if we wanted to be in the audience of the David Letterman show and we were like Uh yeah. what's the catch? THERE WAS NO CATCH! (well kind of. a trivia question we got right!)

So Bam! We got to sit on the front row of the David Letterman Show! STEVE CARELL WAS THE GUEST! GASP!

We couldn't comprehend what was happening. :)

Because not even 2 hours after seeing David Letterman, Steve Carell, and being in the audience of nationally syndicated television show...we got to see the Tony Award winning musical WICKED!
