The Story Of Us

We had tickets to a Rangers game this weekend.. we thought of going into the city a few hours earlier and spend some time there before the game.  We didn't want to wander too far away from that area so I found a candy themed exhibition a block away called Candytopia.  There were timed tickets you had to buy online and we were escorted in as a group. Just like in Legoland.. here everything was made out of candy. As you can see below, it took 13,000 pieces of candy and 48 hours to make this little fox. and they finished it all off with a marshmallow ball pit.  Not to mention all the free candy they got in every room, this is only some.. much of it was eaten. Afterwards we went to Madison Square Garden to watch the Rangers crush the Penguin in a 6-0 game.

Over the weekend M and I celebrated our 15th anniversary. We headed to NYC on Saturday evening and had dinner at The Palm.  They did such a wonderful job of making us feel special. And the dessert (a most decadent chocolate cake) was on the house.  All the walls were covered in celebrity caricatures. Afterwards we hurried on over to catch a Broadway show. This year we choose SIX. Making it our eleventh show! You can see the whole list here . So while this was not our favorite show we did have a great time. I think we'd rate it middle of the pack. We have just seen so many amazing shows. It was a really fun, great music. What I loved was that it was an all female cast, even the band in the back had these amazingly talent middle aged women. The cast was diverse in both race and body type. It was a great show about female empowerment and to not let a man define who we are. I would recommend it for a girls night out. It was not too long, pretty short actually at just 90 minutes. The co

We live about an hour away from the city. M commutes to the city for work regularly. We hop over for a game or a show, meet up with friends and then rush back home. We are never just there.. So when the kids had two days off school we thought we'd turn it into a mini vacation.  We took the train over.. which I was surprised to realize that it was a first for H. We used to make so many trips when D was little.. we lived right next to a light rail. Now that we live deeper in the burbs we often drive in.. this way the kids can fall asleep in the car on the ride home.  Anyway, we left home right after breakfast and found ourselves in the city just before noon. We were staying in the Flatiron District and were happy to hear that our room for ready hours before check in. We freshened up and headed out.  DAY ONE - We started with a stop at the Madison Square Park playground, strolled by the Flatiron Building and made our way towards Chelsea Market. I always recommend Chelsea Market to fir
