NY day 2

March 10, 2023

We got up Saturday morning and hit up our first adventure – Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum! ha!! I have to say, it was actually awesome! There were 5 floors to walk through with all kinds of modern and historical figures. Samantha got a kick out of it and GJ and I enjoyed ourselves too! I have LOTS of pics but they’re so funny I want to share them all sooo….

At that point, we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the evening fun! We had dinner at Bond 45 right by our hotel and then went to see MJ the Musical!

We had front row seats which was both awesome and strange but the show was incredible!!

The most exciting part of the trip came when the show was over and GJ realized the lady sitting behind her had accidentally taken the wrong purse! The lady’s purse was left behind. Thankfully, after a worrisome 10 minutes, the couple came running back in looking for the right bag and it all worked out!

Overall it was a great girl’s trip! Let’s do it again soon!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

The big apple

March 9, 2023

When GJ found out that Phantom of the Opera was closing in April after 35 years on Broadway, she decided she needed to go see it one last time! She nicely invited Samantha and I to tag along! Last Friday we got up super early and flew to NYC. We were in the city by 10 and at lunch at Sarahbeth’s in Tribeca by 11:30! Can’t beat that!!

Grandfriends

March 6, 2023

MBE had their Grandfriends event last week and we were so happy that both GJ and Lulu and Granddaddy could come! Despite the rainy weather, it was a fun morning and I know the kids loved getting to show off their classrooms. I think the grandparents loved seeing everyone…and hearing the same book in all 3 classrooms! ha!

Naples

January 17, 2023

After Christmas we headed down to Naples for some rest, relaxation and sunshine! Despite a delayed flight out of Bham, we made it to Ft. Myers with no problems mainly thanks to a full speed sprint through the Atlanta airport! Phew! The kids were happy to get to open some more Christmas gifts…especially when those gifts consisted of cleverly wrapped cold hard cash!

Leave it to GJ – she’s the best!

We didn’t get to to go to the beach while we were down there. It’s still being put back together after the hurricane, but that didn’t bother us!
