NYC Girls' Trip

I have made some great friends here in New York, and last weekend we all decided to get away to the city for the weekend.

We said goodbye to our husbands (they were so good to watch the kids for the weekend!)...

...and we said Hello to New York City!

First thing we did was to eat some of the amazing food that you can only find in New York City.

Then we checked out Times Square (the place we stayed was only a few blocks away).

We even got in a little trouble from the security guard while posing for some crazy pictures... oops!

I don't think any of us had been out this late in a LONG time!

The next day was gorgeous, and we had lots of things planned.

First, we headed to Central Park for a run and tandem bike ride. What fun!

Later in the day, we stopped by Doughnut Plant for some DELICIOUS doughnuts! (yes, there was a line! I think we waited about 20 minutes to get some doughnuts, but they were worth it!)

They were huge! This is the fresh blueberry doughnut.

Then we shopped 'til we dropped (literally)!

We all bought purses. Mine is the green one, I love it!

We saw some things that you only see in New York City, like a gigantic purse covering a store front during remodeling.

On the way to church the next morning we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. It was hot and I ended up with blisters, but I'm glad we did it.

We got to attend church in Brooklyn where one of my friends served her mission.

We took a taxi to rest our tired feet.

Then on to Greenwich Village and more good food... pizza baked in a coal-burning oven. It was the freshest-tasting pizza that I have ever had.

And who could pass up a bakery window that looked like this!

After a weekend full of shopping and eating (every girls' dream, right?) we wondered how in the world we were going to fit in the car to go home... somehow we did!
