Anniversary Date

So, as if you can't guess...we went to NY for our anniversary date. We took advantage of Grandma and Grandpa being in town to spend the night in the city and enjoy a Broadway show. The Lion King was amazing!
If you look closely over the Toshiba sign you can see the crystal ball illuminated as they were testing it in anticipation of the New Year's Eve celebration the next night.
We had dinner in Grand Central Station at The Michael Jordan Steak House. We thought it sounded a little gimmicky, but it was a a nice restaurant and a great meal. There was a Kaleidoscope show that went every 30 minutes and was set to music and illuminated and moved across the walls of Grand Central. Our table was up along the balcony with a great view below. It was beautiful and pretty neat to watch a terminal filled with hundreds of people below stop and watch the lights.
Grand Central Station.
This is one of the store windows at Lord and Taylor. We passed by as we were walking around the city. Since it was late and raining there weren't any crowds (finally!) so we were able to get up close and get a good view.
The next morning we walked from our hotel (next door to the Chrysler bldg) to the United Nations.
Despite Brad's disdain for the UN, he wanted to take the tour.
The city was still busy but it felt much more relaxing without an agenda or children! It was nice to get away for a night and spend some time together and look back on the past 10 years.
