{NYC:} Family

I love mine.

{NYC:} The Today Show

I watch the Today Show every morning while I get ready for work
so I've been wanting to go to the live taping for years now.

After a bit of debate and the promise of mucho coffee,
we ended up getting up early on our last day in NYC
to visit Matt, Anne, Natalie and Al.Definitely a good decision.For starters, the sunrise was absolutely beautiful.Secondly, there were some fun guest stars,
like Scotty Mcreery, Tim McGraw and Katie Bates.
and also, we got on TV!
Here are a couple shots and a video clip of us on national television!
For reference, this is what it looks like from the other side
If you ever get the chance to go, I'd definitely recommend it.
It's pretty fun to see a behind-the-scenes view of how it all happens.
Plus, Anne is just the sweetest.

{NYC:} The Village People

Greenwich Village is my absolute favorite place in NYC

And of course, as soon as I type that
Central Park, Bryant Park and a gazillion other spots pop into my head.
But seriously, when I dream of living in NYC for a year
the Village is where it's at.

The quaint little streets are as charming as ever.
The food is blow-your-mind good.
The vintage and thrift shops are lovely.
and the speed of life slows down about 10 notches there.
It's old brick buildings and shady green trees.
It's... well, just perfect.
Mom, Lys and I decided
we ARE village people.
