This was our 10th trip to New York City together and this was undoubtedly one of our coldest. With the windchill factor, it was below zero most of the time we were there. The weather did have its advantages. There wasn't a lot of traffic on Times Square and that's always a plus. We were able to cram in five shows in three days: Shrek the Musical, Speed the Plow, Billy Elliott, In the Heights and Forbidden Broadway. We really loved Billy Elliott. The music by Elton John was incredible and the story is quite touching. I also liked the fun and comedy of Shrek. It was a nice surprise. In addition to shows, we found a new restaurant we really loved -- Gotham Bar and Grill on Fifth Avenue. It's ournew favorite place! It's good to be home. We missed the boys but knew they were in good hands with Jordan and Jolynn. Now it's back to our normal routine. It was a nice break and fun to celebrate Kim's birthday in the Big Apple.
Sounds like a great way to spend a birthday. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.
