shannon and nyc

Last weekend I went to visit Shannon up in the big city. She actually lives in Jersey, but not for long. It's been 18 months since I've been to visit. It was nice to go to NY for once and not have to worry about sweaters and coats. I acutally packed light so I could do some serious shopping. I didn't get as much as I hoped for and my bank account thanked me for that. But what I lacked in clothes I made up for in food. I almost got in a fight in the line at Shake Shack because the people behind us kept bumping into me. It's a long line that takes 45 minutes, but we're in a park. Give me some SPACE people!

Along our shopping route we passed by Parson's. For the non Project Runway fans out there this is where they do all of their creating. So here's my cheesy picture.

I went to the Disney Store in Times Square to look for gifts for the girls. I didn't find anything New York-ish, but I did get to dress like Jack Sparrow.

We scored half price tickets to see Memphis on Broadway Saturday afternoon. Fantastic show. There are no cameras allowed in the theatre, but I thought I could be sneaky. Not a chance. Totally got busted and was reprimanded by the guy with his flashlight. Oops. But look at our cute picture.

Saturday night we got all dolled up and went dancing at the club. Shannon's friend was having a little birthday party so we were able to bypass the $30 cover. I learned a NYC trick and carried my flats in my clutch. Lucky for me I have small feet. I'm just glad I was able to take my heels off for the ride home.

I woke up only slightly hungover on Sunday and didn't have a huge headache. Good thing since we headed to the Yankee game. The garlic cheese fries we splurged on during the game were really good, but we paid for them later. There was a LOT of garlic. Later we met up with some of Shannon's friends and played beer pong at their favorite dive bar. Shannon's a sport and drank all my beer too. Good thing we won.

You might notice that my pictures are blurry or either taken with my phone. I had my point and shoot camera on the wrong setting the entire time. I had a fabulous time and made great memories with or without pictures. I love my bestie and spending time with her is always great. Thanks Shannon!
