Our plane was delayed about five hours Thursday evening due to a snow storm in Cleveland and heavy winds in New York. We sat at the airport playing word games and trying not to be nervous about the weather. The flight was awful, a great deal of turbulance and what should have been an hour and half flight turned out to be almost three after going into a holding pattern and flying in circles until the wind died down. We were exhausted and very very relieved to land. Got to the hotel about 3:30 a.m. and ordered breakfast from a deli delivered to our room. So we finally got into bed around 4:30 and slept until 10.
Friday when we finally got out of bed and tried to feel normal again, we took a subway to Greenwich Village and ate at the Peanut Butter Co, walked around NYU, walked back to Times Square, bought our tickets, went to dinner at Carmines which was right by our hotel, saw Memphis and walked back to hotel down Broadway. Saturday we took subway to Bloomindale's and then walked down Park Ave and Fifth Ave and on to Rockefeller Center where we ate lunch. Walked to Macy's and tried to do some shopping but it was so hot and crowded and we decided to walk back to Times Square to get tickets for Mama Mia. It was late by then so we ate dinner, went to the show, walked back down Broadway and stopped at Applebee's for a snack before heading to our room.
This morning we ate breakfast, packed and were going to do a little shopping before heading to the airport when I got an email that they canceled our flight back to Cleveland???? No other flights availaible until late tonight so we were able to get a flight out of Newark. Ended up having to pay $100 for cab ride to Newark and rushed around getting there in time.
Wish we had time to do more shopping but we wanted to see some shows too and since my feet were really killing me it was just as well. As it was we walked a great deal, just ran out of time. We got some awsome cupcakes from Crumbs and stuffed our faces.
We had a very nice time after the stressful start but it is good to be home. Poor easy child has a bad cold and was under the weather but held up well. It was so nice to get away and helped take my mind off what was going on back home.
