We Love Visitors

Last week my parents and sister came and stayed with us for a week. My grandparents also flew down from Washington and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle who live near by. We met up with them and ate at delicious places, shopped, went to a ghost town and just hung out. It was so fun to get to spend time with them, it went by way too fast. I just love my family!

We went to Matt's Big Breakfast, another restaurant featured on Diners, Drive ins and Dives. 

I have to say it was the BEST breakfast I have ever had. It was SO GOOD! Seriously, we were all savoring every bite. It's in a very small building, as you can see in the picture. We had to wait an hour to be seated but it was well worth the wait.

MMMMM.....

 Then we had to take advantage of the perfect weather here and lay out at our pool.

We are so white!

 Ha ha this picture cracks me up. My dad looks dead and Conrad.... well I don't know whats going on with him. ha ha

Of course we had to eat at our favorite Mexican place, Tia Rosa

Waiting to be seated.

My cute grandparents, I just love them!

The whole gang.

We went and raced go carts with my parents. It was the first time for me riding a go cart. They were fast! They went up to 45 miles per hour.

I was dead last the whole time until the very end when I pulled up ahead of Sydney, yes! I came in second to last.

Getting ready to race!

On the last night, we went to a Ghost Town.

My Uncle paid to have the worker at the jail house arrest my grandpa. My grandpa was so confused, it was pretty funny.

He was arrested for "excessive gas" and he had to sing "I'm a Little Tea Pot" to get out.

My dad was electrocuted.

And that was our fun week!

I Had a Birthday

This year my birthday was on a Saturday Wahoo! It was great birthday.

This is how I spent the better half of my day.

Conrad had a group project to finish up so I laid out by our pool and read a book. It was wonderful. When Conrad got home we went to one of my favorite pizza places for dinner and then we went and got cup cakes for me since I have been craving them for awhile now. After the delicious cupcakes we cuddled up on the couch and watched one our favorite shows, Breaking Bad, the perfect ending to a great birthday.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! It was a great day. Here is to 23!

New York City Part 3

On our last day in New York we went to the Ripley's Believe it or Not exhibit. There was a guy in the front pounding a nail up his nose, it was pretty grose.

I had a video of him yanking it out, but it wouldn't upload, I'll have to try again later.

After Ripley's we went to Chocolate World, mmmm love me some chocolate!

While walking around we happened to come upon the Manhattan Temple, it just kind of appeared out of nowhere just right smack dab in the middle of all the buildings.

A couple of people recommended that we try Carnegie s Deli so we went there for lunch. The waiter recommended their famous sandwich which we ordered. We decided to share it because we weren't super hungry and they charged us 3 bucks for sharing! I swear they nickle and dime you everywhere in New York. Anyway, out comes the BIGGEST sandwich I have ever seen. There was so much MEAT. I couldn't even eat half of my half of the sandwich I was so sick and for a minute there I was considering becoming vegetarian, just the thought of meat made me sick.

Just looking at this picture makes me sick. Conrad was not smiling like this after he ate the monster sandwich haha. It's not that it tasted gross, it was just way way too much.

After Carnegie's we walked around for what felt like forever,and decided to see a movie just so we could rest our legs. The movie theater had like 6 + floors, we went up like 5 different escalators to get to our movie.

We walked around some more after the movie and decided we were hungry for dessert so we walked another 8 blocks or so to Serendipity 3 for some frozen hot chocolate.

Conrad ordered a frozen hot chocolate AND a cheese cake. He made himself sick again ha ha.

Later that night we went and saw Jersey Boy's it was my favorite Broadway show we saw.

Waiting for the show to start.

We flew out of New York on St. Patrick's Day so we didn't have time to go to the Parade but we did have time to go to a local Irish pub and have some lunch and watch the parade on T.V. The food was really good.

Conrad wore his I clover NY sweatshirt to celebrate.

And that was our trip!
