Friday we had tickets for a bus tour of lower Manhattan. It would have been absolutely wonderful EXCEPT! it was one of the hottest days we were there and we were sitting on top of an open bus in 95+ weather and lots of humidity. It was HOT. But we got to see lots of different sites and as a part of the tour we went out on a water taxi and got to see the Statue of Liberty as well. Overall it was neat but overshadowed sometimes by the hotness!
Saturday mom and Dan helped me move everything into my apartment. Sunday we went to church in CT with Dan's family. Then! Monday was my Birthday!! Jan (Dan's mom), mom and I went into the city and went to Tavern on the Green for lunch which was delicious. Mom had told them before that it was my birthday so when we sat down someone brought over these awesome balloons with paint in them. We had lunch and then they brought out a little cake especially made for me with Happy Birthday Madison written on it. It was so neat! After that we walked down 5th Avenue and stopped in Tiffany's. I think that's my new happy place : ) That night we went back to Dan's and had dinner and ate some of our melted cake. Dan gave me a beautiful necklace from Tiffany's. It's a silver chain with a black onix heart. I absolutely love it! : )
Tuesday was mom's last day. We had an adventure getting our big suitcases from the train to my apartment. Ummm not all subway stops are handicapped accessed apparently! I had to haul a 50lb suitcase up 2 flights of stairs and then when we got to my apartment I couldn't get my key to work in the door of my room. AWESOME!!! So the morning started off bad but the rest of the day was fun having some mommy and me time.
So today is my first day in the Big Apple all alone! Wish me luck! I think that this is going to be crazy fun : )
