Christmas in NYC Part Two

I'm SOO behind on blogging! I have so much to post about....we just got back yesterday from Lake Charles, Louisiana. We stayed at the L'Auberge du Luc Casino and Resort...I will post more about our little trip and New Years Eve later!

Our second day in New York we walked around the city and went to some pretty neat places! There was tons of snow on the ground from the blizzard the day before. I'm SO glad everything was still open and running. In TX if we just get a little bit of snow everything shuts down! : )

Our second day in the Big City!

My mom and aunt making fun of the way me and Cait pose for the camera! Ha!

Me and my mom

That day for lunch we ate at this little restaurant called Langan's....I have some pretty funny restaurant stories to share! We walked into Langan's about 11:20 and the waitress rudely informed us that they did not open until 11:30.... so we decided we would sit at the bar and wait. Well...as soon as we were about to sit down the sweet waitress pointed to the door and yelled, "IT IS ONLY 11:20...WE DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 11:30"!  If I ever acted like that to a customer when I worked at Chili's they would have fired me!

Walking in the freezing cold snow!

 Around the city there were huge snow piles everywhere! Talk about A LOT of snow....

When Caitlin was a little girl she LOVED the American Girl dolls so we made a stop at the American Girl store in NYC!

Towards the end of the day we stopped at the FAO SCHWARTZ Toy Store where they filmed part of the movie BIG. It was so neat seeing the BIG PIANO from the movie!




I still have a couple more posts to write about our trip to the big city! 

Hope your having a great week!

It's amazing how rude all of the workers in new York are! Its soooo different from here where if you even look at a customer wrong you can get fired lol!

Sam said...

Looks like you had so much fun! And the snow is awesome -- I've never been to NYC in the snow.

And, teehee, the picture of your mom and aunt cracked me up!

Wow... as a waitress, I'm appalled at how she talked to you... But then again, it's NYC.. sigh. That's why I could never live there. People are too unfriendly!

Ahhh I'm so jealous! I have always wanted to go to NYC during Christmas to see the gorgeous decorations! It looks like y'all had a great time!! xoxo
