Our Weekend Getaway in NYC: Day 1!

If you’ve been keeping up with our blog recently, then you know that we went to New York City last weekend with our mom and older sister.  We really enjoyed our time there and want to share with you in a bit more detail what we did!

We arrived in New York City on Friday afternoon.  By the time we got to our hotel and checked in, it was around 3 o’clock.  The hotel we stayed at had a really nice location.  It was a block away from Times Square and very close to the Theater District.  Since we hadn’t ate anything since breakfast, we were starving so we  wandered around the area of our hotel in search for some food.  We decided to eat at Shake Shack since it was very close  to our hotel and it’s very well known.  who doesn’t love a good burger, fries, and a shake?

After eating, we did some exploring and got tickets for our Broadway show that night.  We then headed to Times Square and of course had to take some typical tourist photos while we were there.  We also did some shopping at Express and found some great spring items there!

Once we were done shopping, it was time for us to head back to our hotel to get ready for the Broadway show.

The show we decided to see that night was Matilda.  We absolutely loved it.  It was very cute and funny.  The actors all did a really good job at playing their characters.  If you’re a fan of the Matilda movie or book, you would definitely love the musical as well!

By the time we got back to our hotel it was close to 11 o’clock so Rachel and I just went out for a quick drink before turning in for the night.

A recap of Day 2 will be going up tomorrow so be on the lookout for that!
