Almost 2 years ago, we took an our first Adult-Only Idiart Family trip. We went to New York City together. We met up with friends who lived there, but also, some of our local friends met us there. Last spring, we went to the Bahamas together, but NYC remains Damian and my favorite couples trip so far.
One night in the Big Apple, we took the subway across the Brooklyn Bridge, and then walked to the middle of it together. We were there in February and it was FREEZING! But not snowing or particularly windy, so we were all very grateful.
You can tell I'm more used to cold weather. I'm smiling naturally and Poor Damian's face is frozen in a weird, contorted position!!
Actually, the reason I wasn't as cold was because this white coat had a layer of blubber inside it. I'm not really that fat. It was the coat, really!! This is Christine and I with NYC behind us. And that cute purse is my Kate Spade knock-off that I bought in a secret room in China Town, for 5 bucks! We don't have any photos of our purse shopping adventures, but that was a fun memory!
We ditched everyone and decided to keep touring the city in butt cold weather. First stop, Bloomingdale's. Of course, it was 10pm and the store was closed, but we WERE THERE!
Christine really wanted to go to the dessert shop: "Serendipity" Do you remember a movie with the same name? Me neither!! It was one of Christine's favorite movies, so we had to go there! They really did have great Hot Chocolate. For $12 a mug. But that's life in the Big City.
The inside of the shop was eclectic and cute. I enjoyed looking at the decorations while I waited for my teeth to stop chattering. And while I waited for my turn with the straw, for a sip of the $12 Hot Chocolate.

you've never seen Serendipidy? It was so cute!
I have never seen pictures from this infamous trip. I have seen the movie Serendipity though with John Cusack and that pretty Brit. C'mon.
February in New York looks bitter yet fun.
I love all the traveling you do -especially with your family. I am especially jealous of your trip to Italy. eric served his mission there and I keep beeign him to take me there. Maybe... one day!
Kate Beckinsale, a.k.a. 'that cute Brit', is one of my favorite Brit actresses. And that was indeed a sweet movie. And twelve dollars for a cup of Jack (that's the Mormon version of 'Joe') is entirely a good enough reason to go off chocolate. Unless it's really, REALLY, REALLLLLLY GOOD cocoa.
I'll just have to take your word for it.
Sounds like a great trip, but I would have a hard time swallowing 12 bucks for hot chocholate.
people...people...people...you do not understand how very good that hot chocolate is! It really is legendary...they sell it in take home pouches too so i got a few for me and my friend Kari who is also in love with it! Seriously-eveyone needs to try some...its cold hot chocoloate...AMAZING...I can taste it now! I have pics of my husband and I sipping it after we got home and sharing some with our little one it was that much of a moment for me! And cm'on sarah...it wasn't 12 bucks...it was like 6 or something...we all know how you love to exaggerate! But i am glad to know the other ladies have seen Serendipty...it really is a classic and any romantic needs to see it! Love the pics...it was a great trip...but i will never go in March again...it was WAY too cold! So it feels like you have been gone FOREVER! I can't wait to see all the pics from the wedding...i can already tell they will be out of this world! You are the photoshop master already and you've only had the program 2 weeks! love ya
p.s. did damian tell you we are goint to get our pic of the tailgate in the BYU magazine! Wish you were there...it was our best turnout yet...75 people!
Looks like fun...cold fun. I've heard of "Serendipity" but never seen it. And $12 would be expensive hot cocoa, but according to Christine, it sounds pretty yummy!
