NYC Valentine's Weekend

Wow. We forgot what it was like when it was just the two of us. Freeeedom!

John & I had a wonderful time in New York city this past weekend. The Yearwood/Schloicka clan took Marnie & Grammy and Grampy took Tortilla & Mylee so we had all of Saturday and Sunday to do what we wanted. It was heaven.

We got into the city around 1:00pm & headed right to the Sofitel hotel where Brian had gotten us a sweet deal on a room. We settled in real quick & then headed out for lunch at the Stage Deli for some hot pastrami sandwiches. I fell in love with their menu- under the 'HEROES' section for sandwiches they had 4 different sandwiches to choose from: NYPD, NY Fire Dept., Rudy Guilani & Chelsey Sullenberger. After that we walked around near Times Square for a bit then headed to Aunt Paula's yoga studio for a couples Thai massage class. How fun is that?? A quick change after that took us to see 'Driving Miss Daisy' on Broadway featuring James Earl Jones. I loved it! After the play we went to a mexican restaurant & sat at the bar and had fruity tequilia drinks & cervazas. Into beddy bye by 12:05am!
Saturday morning we got up at 9:11am. Did you hear what I said? We woke up AFTER 9 O'CLOCK AM!!!!! Heavvven. We headed out for some NYC bagels & walked around some more. Later on we headed to Harlem for some good ol' soul food at Sylvia's. Not as good as we were hoping but nice to try something different. After lunch we headed home & you know what we did since we didn't have Marnie (she was staying over Robyn's until Monday night)...we CLEANED!! We did laundry, vacuumed, scrubbed the bathrooms, cleaned Marnie & our room from top to bottom. See all the fun you can have when you don't have a little one running around?

Well we had a really really nice Valentine's weekend & we can't wait to get away again. Check out Robyn's blog to see Marnie's weekend with them!

Thank you Brian!!!!

Have you ever experienced a 'sign' that let's you know you are with the person you are meant to be with? John & I experienced it at the Stage Deli. We split a pastrami sandwich & it came with 2 pickles...one kind that I love & John dislikes and one kind that John loves & I dislike. A perfect split.
A+J=true love forever

BTW- it was FREEEEZZZZING in NYC this weekend!

In Times Square


We stopped in Toys R Us just so we could get warm & eat our bagels. John got chocolate milk to go along with his bagel & at one point I stuck it in my purse so I didn't have to carry it in my hand. You know what John said..out loud..in front of a guy & Geoffrey the Giraffe?
"Where's my milky?"
Ahahaha...guess he was still in Daddy mode
(look behind John- you can see the guy in the red t-shirt & Geoffrey)
