D.C AND N.Y.C

Cris and I just took the best vacation ever! Cris and I, along with our friends Dave and Kristi, went to Washington D.C and New York City.
First we started out in D.C and it was amazing! It was so green and so beautiful! I was obsessed with all of the Cherry Blossom trees! The first day we got there we went to the "National mall" and toured all the amazing museums.( It took us a while to realize that it wasn't an actual mall... go figure!) We went to the Smithsonian and the Air and Space museum, which my husband especially loved! He got to see the original airplane that the Wright brothers took the first flight in.. he was in Heaven! We also visited all of the monuments in D.C. like the Lincoln Memorial, The Washington monument, the Vietnam memorial,The Vietnam wall, Arlington cemetery, the Pentagon and of coarse the White House, where we got to witness some crazy lady insisting that she speak with the President... That was a real treat! Overall I loved D.C. and can't wait to go back when I've got more time.. There's still so much we didn't get to see!
So we stayed there for 2 days and then headed to New York City! We stayed in New Jersey which was only 15 minutes away from down town NYC. It was great having our own car (we didn't have to ride the subway at all!) Parking wasn't bad and Dave did an amazing job battling the City traffic!
The first night we got to New York, we headed to BROADWAY where we saw WICKED! It was seriously th most amazing show ever and defenately recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to see it. We loved it so much that we decided to go to another show the following night. So we went and bought tickets to MARY POPPINS and boy was it "magical"! (Thank you young enthusiastic man that was hassling us in line to buy the tickets, it really was all you said it would be;)
I especially loved Central Park! Eventhough we didn't even get to see half of it! It's soo big! I also enjoyed taking the Ferry over to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We also went and visited Ground Zero. There was not much to see since they took the memorial down and they are now building a new memorial in it's place. But still so sad to see the huge pit and the hole in the New york skyline where the Trade Center used to be.
All in all we had the best time! I'm so glad that Dave and Kristi were there to share the fun(and the cold) with us! We love you guys!!
