Ditching the real world

Things I did on vacation:
  • Had Christmas in a cup with Kellie @ Lucile's. There was also a cameo of their beignets.
  • Drove around creating the perfect meal. This included: rolls, mashed potatoes, mexican salad, chicken, wine coolers.
  • Watched Son In Law whilst consuming said perfect meal.
  • Took ridiculous pictures at the sculpture park.
  • Went on Celestial Seasonings Tour. Mint room=Intense!
  • Had lovely dinner & played games with my aunt & her boyfriend.
  • Ate breakfast burritos and went geocaching (after finding out that Coors wasn't giving tours this week).
  • Went on Boulder Beer Company Tour then had semi-nice meal @ Mimi's with my aunt, cousin & her two kids.
  • Flew to New York!!!
  • Had almost front row view of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Took lots of pictures.
  • Josh!
  • Went to swanky restaurant on the Upper West Side for Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Was delicious, but pricey (sorry Josh!).
  • Strolled thru Central Park
  • Went to a taping of the Today Show & got on TV!!!!
  • Watched people skate at Rockfeller. Did not go as I was probably the only person in our party with reasonable balance.
  • Saw the Rockettes @ Radio City Music Hall!
  • Bought pickles at The Pickle Guys in the Lower East Side
  • Ate pizza @ Lombardi's. I shall be yelping this place as I was dissatisfied. The pizza was good (not overly great) but there were several issues.
  • Went to Ferrera's pastry shop and bought mini pastries!!! They were so cute and delicious.
  • Went to Penn Station and visited Josh at Borders...am jealous of several aspects of that store, not the least of which is the employee bathroom.
  • Visited Times Square and the M&M shop.
  • Ate a hot dog from a vendor on the street
  • Took the Staten Island Ferry & took pictures of the Statue of Liberty.
  • Flew home :( fortunately on swanky Virgin America plane that lets me use the interwebs in flight so I can update my blog :)
Things I didn't do that now require another visit to NYC
  • See the Empire State Building
  • Get a picture of the skyline (a good one)
  • Go to Ellis Island
  • Spend enough time with Josh
  • Go to 5th Ave.
  • Take a picture in front of the NBA store (sorry Kellie!)
  • Walk around/explore as much as I want (our itinerary was a little too controlled)
  • Eat at more pizza places (or eat more in general)
  • Go out on the town at night to fun bars and stuff.

It's Kaitlin's cousin Perry's fault you couldn't go on a tour. She's a tour guide.
