More NYC

December 13, 2024

After the Rockettes, we made our way back to Columbus Circle to go to the Barbie exhibit at the Museum of Art and Design.

It was fantastic!!

They had a big collection of original Barbies and clothes from the 1950s…the same Barbie clothes that GJ had and that Samantha now has! It was fun to see all of the clothes that GJ dressed her Barbies up in!

They also had the original Barbie Dream House that GJ also had and I used to play with at Susu’s house when I was little. We don’t have that anymore so it sure was fun to see!

They even had a life size version!

They had all sorts of Barbies from each decade and it was so fun to see how the dolls and clothes evolved.

Of course the best part was the Barbie corvette!! Love it!

Samantha looks like a real Barbie!

Just call me Midge…

Aren’t we cute?!

I’m so glad we went! We then shopped a little in Columbus Circle and then walked down Central Park South to have dinner at Sarahbeth’s. On the way we ran into my old colleague…NYC is such a small place after all!

We had a fantastic dinner….

and then we made not our wisest decision to walk down to Rockefeller Center to see the tree before heading back to the hotel. The tree was pretty but, man oh man, the crowds were overwhelming!

That night we headed back to the theater to see & Juliet! It was really entertaining and Charli D’Amelio, a Tik Tok star, was in the show which Samantha thought was cool!

Such a fun, full day! The next morning we headed to the airport two hours late and missed our flight. Yep, never in my life have I missed a flight but I got the time wrong and we departed for LGA at 8:00am when our flight actually left at 8:47am. Thankfully Delta got us on a 10:00am through Atlanta and we got back to Birmingham just a few hours later than we were supposed to.

It was a whirlwind of a weekend but totally worth it! We love NYC!

Would love to hear from you! 2 Comments

Sunday night we put in our requests to Santa! Well, we took a picture with Santa at least!

Santa and I even dressed like twinsies! ha!

It wasn’t easy to get there but we made it happen and I’m so glad we did. It was a fun night up at the club with lots of friends!

Merry Christmas!

More Naples

December 4, 2024

We started Friday with a trip to Skillets, of course. We then hit up the beach.

That night we headed downtown to Campiellos! Yum!

Maxwell took down this breaded and sautéed 1 lb lobster tail with no problem!

The next day we went to see Wicked (so good!) and then watched some football! Roll Tide! Right before the game started, Maxwell called us outside because we had a visitor!!

Gary the Gator was back! He’s SO big and we got a close look at him this time – he’s got a mangled right arm and a nub for his left arm! Gary’s been in some fights!

It’s always fun to see Gary and we’re very thankful he can’t climb up a ladder!!

Sunday we sadly had to head back to Birmingham but are so glad we had such a good Thanksgiving in Naples! Thanks for everything GJ!!

Thanksgiving at the beach

December 3, 2024

Thanksgiving in Naples was a beautiful and sunny day! Keath and his crew made it over around noon and we feasted on GJ’s turkey and dressing, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes, broccoli salad, apple pie, pecan pie – there is simply nothing better and I can confirm it tastes even better at the beach! I even managed to set up my phone so we could get a group selfie. The kids and I tried it out first…

and then we got the whole gang! Hooray!

After our food settled and some (Robert) took a quick couch nap, we made it down to the beach for sunset.

Of course the boys threw the football…

and Samantha flipped around!

It was a perfect evening.

We then went back to the house for more pie! That’s how you do Thanksgiving!
