5 Year Anniversary

What better way to celebrate 5 years of marriage than to head to New York City, right? The best part about the trip was that almost the entire thing was a gift through a connection of Matt's. We were so excited to have a weekend break from our day jobs and be "Matt and Haley" again instead of "Mommy and Daddy". Of course it was hard to say goodbye to our boys (who stayed with my parents), and by Sunday we were definitely missing them badly and ready to be home.

We left Thursday afternoon and arrived in New York City around 6pm. Due to rush hour traffic, a rainstorm, and a truck getting stuck in a tunnel, it took forever to get to our hotel and cost us a pretty penny for the taxi cab. We were exhausted and starving by the time we arrived (in case anyone hasn't flown in awhile like us--they no longer give snacks on an airplane, and we didn't eat lunch in the rush to drop off the kids and catch our flight). By 9pm we had finally checked into our hotel and sat down to eat dinner at the very fancy hotel restaurant. Needless to say, we did NO sightseeing on day 1 as we were exhausted!
