Alicia in NYC :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! :) And no better way to spend it than with the famous Miss. Alicia! We enjoyed ourselves out in the cold visiting all the sites at Christmas time!!! One Friday, we went to the lounge Joy works at and chatted, warming up from the wine :)... then walked ALL around (like 20 blocks) through time square and saw the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center! Then, we stopped at the Madison... a club on 21st and 5th ave for a short while to get our boogy on :) Saturday, we SLEPT IN (woohoo!) then went to see the Statue of Liberty and then China Town. We spent ALL afternoon and evening in Chinatown and bought some great fake Christmas presents! (lol) Then caught dinner in Little Italy and went home.. attempting to re-group and get back out there... but ended up staying home and watching this horrible movie... Closer. (I don't recommend it... my neighbor did.) Anyway, Sunday we went to church, and stopped over at the Toy Store before Alicia had to leave. We had a great time and... of course, here's some pics!! :)

fun fact! the statue of liberty is made of copper, so it was actually the color of a penny for the first few years it was put up. all the wonderful acid rain and whatnot turned it green. crazy!

and where did you learn that mr. carson?

well sarah, let me tell you.

when i was 7, i visited the statue of liberty. we had a nice chat about the city, france and saturday morning cartoons (i think she likes little kids). after talking about how much her right arm hurt, she told me about the color change. we've been friends ever since.

Hey I thought I was Matt's BFF???? Only Matt would remember a whole conversation with a tour guide about copper from when he was 7!! Sarah, looks like you & Alicia had a blast! So, glad she got a chance to come see you & the sights of NYC. Even if the acid rain turned the shiny copper green. ;)
