After discussing the idea with some people, I decided that though it was kind of a crazy idea, it was a fun idea, and sometimes you just have to do big, fun things in life. So, I contacted his boss so that he could get vacation days, booked a flight and made hotel reservations. He knew nothing! I told everyone, because I have a big mouth, and if I couldn't tell Erik, then I had to tell everyone else. Thankfully he never found out.
With less than two weeks before we left, I told Erik about the big trip. It wasn't the type of surprise with a big scream of excitement and hugging. Instead, it was the surprise that shows real, actual, surprise. He was confused...he had to work, how would we get there, where would we stay? About an hour later, he became excited.
Because Erik had never been to NYC, he decided we needed to do EVERYTHING. We had a great time exploring the city, seeing new neighborhoods, and visiting the sites. Here are some highlights.
Excited to leave!
Looking at Monet paintings at the MOMA. (I might have told Erik to take a picture of me looking at the painting.)
Times Square after seeing a Broadway show!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
At the top of the Empire State Building.
Central Park
Look for an upcoming post about the different food we ate in NYC. There are so many food choices!
Happy spring in MN!
