The Big 3-0 in NYC

Well Vince completely out did himself for my birthday. He took me to New York City for the weekend! We stayed at The Regency by Loews at 61st and Park Ave-it was a very nice hotel! Unfortunately Friday was super wet-it rained all day and all night. But that didn't stop us from still having fun and exploring!








We went to lunch at Serendipity which was a cool atmosphere but the food lead something to be desired.






Then we walked around and ended up in Bloomingdales and V told me to pick out a present...what a great hubby! We came across a build your own charm necklace and I was in luv! I got 3 charms...a V for Vince, a Paw Print for Miles and a Star to represent our future goals/wishes.






Then we headed for dinner at an Italian restaurant called Scalinatella-it was a very nice dinner. We wrapped up the evening at the hotel lounge for a night cap.














Saturday was a busy day full of sight seeing!

We started out at a diner for breakfast and then took the subway to Battery Park. We wanted to
go to the Statue of Liberty but as we were in line for tickets they sold out. So we walked around the Financial District and saw the Bull and the NY Stock Exchange.














We then grabbed a quick lunch and took a ferry boat tour on the harbor. We got to see the whole city, Lady Liberty and Ellis Island.


































When we got done we went to St Paul's Chapel which is one of the churches that the firefighters slept at after September 11th. It was a very touching experience.

We then went and cleaned ourselves up and went to Union Square to meet Brian & Daniel for dinner at an Asian restaurant called Saigon Grill. It was a nice birthday dinner. Vince ordered the Sea Bass and below is a pic of what came to the table!
















At dinner Vince had another present for me...a beautiful diamond necklace. He did an amazing job picking it out!














We then went out to grab a few birthday drinks at an Irish Pub called Slones and then headed to Hells Kitchen and went to a bar called Mercury and then went and walked around Times Square. They have closed off Broadway in the heart of Times Square and placed lawn chairs out for people to sit and take in the views.























Sunday morning we hit another diner for breakfast and then headed back to Philly. Miles' kennel was full for the weekend so he had to go to PetsMart and stay at their hotel. I was a bit worried since he is so weird about being away from home but he had a blast! He went to day camp and loved playing with the other dogs! All in all the weekend was way more than I could have expected I am so lucky to have my hubby!
