Girls weekend away to NYC

Ah! I feel so refreshed. I went away for a 4 day long weekend to visit my friend in New York City. I had the most amazing time. My friend, Lan from California met me there. And since it was her first time in NYC, we did a couple of the obligatory touristy things. We took a long walk through Central Park, took a ferry to Statue of Liberty, watched a musical, had yummy food, took a TV/movie set bus tour, etc.

Thank you very much to my dear hubby for watching the kids. It was his first time with me away so long and he did great!

Here are some pics of the trip:



Took a walk through Central Park. It was a grey day but we still enjoyed the Fall walk.
There was lots of photo taking!


 We went up the Rockefeller Plaza building, called The Top Of The Rock.
It was a gorgeous sunset view of Manhattan. We could see Central Park to the north and Empire State Building and even tiny little Statue of Liberty, to the south.


We enjoyed yummy meals. Thanks Aunt Wah, Lan and Yin for the lunches and dinners!


On the ferry ride to Statue of Liberty.
It was a little surreal because the last time I was there, I could still see the World Trade Centre in the skyline.


With my friend, Lan from California at Rockefeller Plaza. The skating rink was functioning already and the Rockettes Christmas show was already playing. Way to early for Christmas spirit for me!

Thanks Siew Gin! Those couple of days away from the kids were great :)
Don't worry. We can take a girls' trip any time you are ready. You just have to completely wean Cody first. In good time...

Cody is weaned and sleep trained! Completely!! Yay!!! Weaning him off was actually a piece of cake. Getting him to eat was and is still the problem!!! Oh well.. he'll eat when he's hungry, eh??
