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….

Phew! What fun!! After all that, we were hungry so made a pit stop in the Hershey store…

and then headed to our favorite place for lunch!

We had fun shopping around a bit…

and then headed to the Lego store in Rockefeller Center.

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!

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!!

We then made our way to Soho to the Sloomoo Slime Institute. This girl was a very happy camper!

I have to say, I was pretty happy too! It was really fun and playing in the all the slime was cool. Also, because I’m the best mom ever, I agreed to go under the Slime Falls with Samantha and get slimed!!

haha! We then got to make our own slime complete with some really good scents. Mine smelled like leather!

It was a fun adventure!

We then headed into Bloomingdales…

and then back to the hotel to rest up for the show. We were so excited to see Phantom!

Samantha enjoyed it…even if she had a lot of questions in the first act. Pretty sure the people behind us shush’d us at some point! ha! A fun day 1 in NYC!!
