Rain, Rain, Go Away!

it has been pouring since last night & i am OVER it. walking around in the rain is whack! i feel & smell like a wet dog...YUCK! on a VERY positive note, as i type this post, my family is flying somewhere over us! super excited to see them!

i hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas. j & i were solo yesterday with the pups of course. we had a fun, relaxing day! i promise, more on Christmas later. tonight, i am back with DAY 2 of our visit with DK.

now, i have to ask you...are you ready? seriously. are you sitting in a comfy seat, do you have a snack & a drink? because this is a LONG one! okay...as long as you are ready. here it comes!

our morning started with a stop by starbucks & then we headed to central park. we were all dying to see how the snow had transformed this amazing place!

honestly...no words can describe how amazingly beautiful it was!
the four of us were in heaven & saying how fortunate we were to catch such a dream like day.

i was like a kid in a candy store & similar to most kids in candy stores...
one of them is going to get in trouble.
i got in trouble.

SEE PHOTO ABOVE FOR REFERENCE!
do you see what is around my neck? correct. our camera (technically jason's birthday present camera). do you see what is all over my body? you got it! SNOW!

i was just told by my sweet hubs, "if you are going to run around in the snow, give me the camera because i know you are going to fall."

i said, "don't worry honey, even if i fall i won't get snow on the camera!"
Oops! i got some snow on the camera!
yep. people are actually cross country skiing in central park.
and they were not the only ones!
let's have some fun. get ready punk!

St. Patrick's Cathedral

the tree

i think this is clear!
time for the empire state building!

so here is the thing. i realize that the views are spectacular. i realize that people go up here, every day, all day long. but, that does not change the fact that i HATE heights. i freak. i try so hard to just relax. but, i struggle, every. single. time.

stunning. i get it. love seeing the photos. and enjoy the view from a distance.

against the wall of the empire state building.

this is a fake smile. i am terrified.

you should have seen how slowly i walked over to jason to get this picture.

this is how i was really feeling.

this photo below. yup. just looking at it makes me feel sick. but, it is such an amazing perspective! you can see so much. oh i was so relieved to have both feet back on the 1st floor.

off to time square we go!
