Alicia and Nicole's Visit!

More visitors!! YEA! So my lifelong friends, Alicia and Nicole came up and visited for a week. It was so much fun to go around the city and play tourist with them, cause usually I try to blend and NOT look like a tourist! So here are a few pictures of our amazing week together...


SERENDIPITY

We went and ate at Serendipity's, and of course had to get the famous Frozen Hot Chocolate.

Me and Brittani, enjoying a Mint flavored one.

YUM!!

TOP OF THE ROCK

We went up to the Top of the Rockefeller Center. It was such a pretty/amazing view from up there! I Love NYC!
My favorite, Central Park...

Nicole, Me and Alicia...


Alicia pointing at the Empire State Building...

TIMES SQUARE

Nicole and Alicia

We were lucky enough to find this guy...
A random guy that is often found wondering around Times Square. He is known as the Naked Cowboy, and he just wanders, poses for pictures and plays his guitar...

One of our finest, trustworthy, hardworking NYC policemen, drinking his Jamba and texting... I feel so safe here! (Oh and Alicia is posing in the background so it looked like I was taking a picture of her and not him... Thanks Alicia!)

Nicole and Alicia, making it work in the rain...

YUM! Juniors Cheesecake!

MADAM TUSSAUDS WAX MUSEUM


Nicole trying really hard to stick her bootylicious butt out... not quite there

The real Rachel Ray, so much better!

Nicole violating one of the greatest baseball historical figures ever...

We be jammin'...

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! What? She made out with my little person boyfriend!

BROOKLYN BRIDGE

Some of the best pizza ever!

Nicole and I

Alicia

Stop making fun, you know you would love to live on Hicks street... I know I would!


CONEY ISLAND
Nicole, Me and Alicia

It was exactly as it sounds... A game where there was a guy standing in a pit and was all padded up, that you could pay money and he would stand there and you would shoot him with paint balls. Apparently its fun?

The famous Cyclone Rollercoaster

Best Hot Dogs in NY!

"Under the Boardwalk, out of the Sun..."

THE BEACH!

So they were having a sand sculpture contest the day that we were down there and here are some of the enteries...

We didn't stay until the very end, but we were guessing that this was Moses with the 10 Commandments... can't you see it?

We couldn't for the life of us figure out what these guys were doing... Guesses: Fireworks, the American Flag, the Texas Flag, a X-Games Ramp... No clue

AMAZING! This is all out of sand!

The Eagle guy, with a key. That's on the back of a coin isn't it?

Octopus

And another amazing castle. How would you build a bridge out of sand??
We didn't stay until the end so we have no idea who won the great grand prize of $400, but if it were up to me, definitly the last one!

GROUND ZERO


No words needed...


This is the memorial that they are working on building, I think it does it justice. The squares, are fountains in the foundation of the 2 buildings. Along the walls of the fountain will be all the names of those who were lost in the tragedy...

A sweet statue that looks like a balloon animal near Ground Zero.

CENTRAL PARK
The LDS temple.

While walking we saw this balcony... awesome

Imagine, memorial for John Lennon



At our picnic, Nicole, Alicia and myself

MAMMA MIA!

So we went and saw Mamma Mia! on Broadway, and it is my favorite that I've seen this summer.

Alicia with her Playbill

Nicole with hers...

And me, above them, not sitting with them, all alone....
Okay so we went to go buy the day of tickets, and they didn't have 3 seats that were together. So we split up and had 1 box seat. So I made my up there and there were 4 seats, but so far I was the only one there, I was hoping that no one would show up so that my friends could come up and join me but a few minutes before it started, in walks 3 Scottish older men... AWESOME!! They were hilarious! They asked me why I was here by myself and I told them I wasn't but my friends were sitting below us. They then stood up and leaned over and asked which ones, I pointed them out and they then told me to yell at them. So I got Alicia's attention and they started dancing and yelling that we were going to have more fun then them!! We then sat back down and continued to talk, I only caught about half of what they actually would say cause they would talk so 'bloody fast" that I had no idea what they were saying! But I did find out that the night before they had gone to some "ladies" club, that they were sure I worked there (which I promise mom is not true... I really do work for a pediatric dental office...) Anyways, they were dancing, singing and were some of the best random people you could meet at a Broadway play by yourself, my only regret is I didn't take a picture! Oh well... Random Scottish men, if you're reading this, send me a picture so I can show my friends!

It was totally pouring, we were all soaking wet by they time we got there, and still wet (and got wetter) when we left!

It was and awesome trip! Thanks guys for coming to visit! Love ya!
