Random NYC Fun


Taking a stroll through Central Park
This is Joe after braving the after christmas sales and crowds with me in NYC. . . poor guy!
While in NYC Joe bought tickets for us to go see the little mermaid! We actually ended up buying them day-of from a scalper on the streets in the times square! haha. It was such a relief when we got in. . . we were so nervous we had been had!
Picture from our seats. . . we were closer than the picture shows. We soo lucked out getting center midmezzanine seats! The show was so great, the "under water" scenes were really well done. I had to hold myself back from singing along with Ariel!

Rockefeller Center

In front of the Tree
Forbes children-new, old, and soon-to-be
Ice Skating anyone?
The ladies in front of the penny pool. This is literally a couple of feet deep and full of pennies. So cool, it reminded me of Ducktails. . .who knows what im talking about?

NIght on the Town

I had an absolute blast hanging out with Joe's family and their good family friends the Vail's in NYC. We had a great night beginning at Rosie O'Grady's, a fun Irish pub in Times Square.

East Coast Christmas

Joe and I had the best time in Connecticut for Christmas! The east coast is ABSOLUTELy charming during the holidays. . I loved it. I thought I would share photos from the trip. Thank-you Jim and Judy for a very memorable christmas!

Judy, Jaime and I took the subway to Canal street to go purse shopping and stopped to take a picture in beautiful Grand Central Station. Notice the Dunkin Donuts in hand. . . you cant go to the east coast without passing a dunking donuts, its impossible they are EVERYWHERE!

Canal Street fun. We had so much fun going on a wild goose hunt for good knock-off/possibly real coach purses. Jaime and Judy think I have a sixth sense for finding these hidden shops. The best memory? Following a small asian woman through an alley, down a block, over a block the basement of a chinese furniture store to go to the hidden purse shop.

Jaime and I showing off our wonderful purchases in the Subway!

Warriors Game



Joe's uncle had two tickets to a Warriors game this past Wednesday and asked us if were interested in going the game. . . um heck yes!! I had never been to a pro basketball game and had so much fun. It was so nice to get away from Stockton and the mayhem of school that this time of year brings. We so enjoyed the little getaway and feel energized to take on the last hectic week of school. Who knew getting your Master's would be so time consuming? ha. Speaking of which, this may be our last post for a while because we will be Westport, Connecticut for Christmas! I am so excited to enjoy the holiday on the east coast and am so looking forward to spending time with family while there. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Photos for Your Enjoyment



I came across these wonderful vintage postcards of Lake Arrowhead and thought I would share them with you seeing as not many people have been. So here is a taste of what is to come! :)
