Girls weekend in NYC

Alayna and I went up to visit my sister in New York City the weekend after her birthday. It was a short trip, but we fit in a lot. Saturday morning we went to the Bronx Zoo.

We didn't even really scratch the surface of all the things to see but we hit Alayna's highlights, which included the pink flamingos

In the afternoon we went into the city to FAO Schwartz.

Oh My Gosh! I thought her head was going to explode when we walked in and she saw all those toys! Auntie told her she could pick out one thing for her birthday. One of the first things we saw was a stuffed animal dog, and she claimed that was what she wanted, but Auntie and I convinced her that she should really look at everything in the store first. So we proceeded to check out all 3 floors! Alayna was in heaven!!

And she even got to dance on the big piano!

We couldn't believe it, but the one thing she wanted after looking at ALL those toys was that little stuffed dog we saw when we first came in! It was so cheap that Auntie even let her pick a second thing and that really made Alayna happy.

That night we had Tacos again and a little ice cream cake.

The next morning we went out for breakfast and then Auntie gave Alayna a Mani-Pedi!

It was a great weekend, and Brooke and Macharia were perfect hosts and they have a beautiful place with an amazing view.

Thanks for the great weekend!!
