nyc with mom

Day one of mom's visit was consumed by our dancing/Broadway Blessing event. Which you can check out the vid on my previous post.

Day TWO: Included Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Batman movie set, WTC (no pictures from WTC sorry)...

Andreas proud of the Norwegian Copper used to build Miss Liberty.

After leaving Liberty Island and Ellis Island we stumbled upon the set of Batman!

Day THREE: Included Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, Junior's, Central Park, and WEST SIDE STORY! (guess which part was my favorite?)

Galavanting around Rockefeller Center.

Lunch at Grand Central Terminal, followed by us devouring delicious NY style cheesecake at Juniors.

Forever21 in Time Square, had a pretty impressive advertisement display, which included pre-recorded model's taking pictures of people passing by on the street in real time? Crazy? check it out:

This was the pic I took of the huge display screen. That's us in the pic she's holding!! (and a few other street walkers....)

Finally....

Yeah!

Day FOUR:

Which I don't have pics of got even more exciting....

My mom and I rode bikes around Prospect Park.

Andreas and I went to work at the cafe, and then the TORNADO HIT!

While at the cafe the winds suddenly picked up, the sky went black/green, and rain was falling horizontally. Trees were down on almost every block! Fortunately no major injuries, except for one death :( Weather experts said with absolutely no warning it's amazing that there weren't more casualties.

Day FIVE: We scurried over to Brooklyn Bridge Park before my mom had to fly off again.

At Brooklyn Bridge Park

This was the crazy line waiting for some famous Grimaldi's Pizza, located under the bridge. There's ALWAYS a crazy line for Grimaldi's! Side note: girl in pink shirt - NOT me. haha.

Needless to say the week was very eventful. After working at the US Open for two weeks, then the eventful week with my mom I was tired. :) Work has been up and down, last week was a very FULL work week, but this week has been extremely slow.

Last weekend we did make it up to VA for the weekend for Libby's wedding so many some pictures soon for that too!
