Girls Gone Wild!

I am back from one of the best weekends ever! One of my bestest friends, Lyn, is getting married the first weekend of June so a group of us girls decided instead of getting her a boring old shower gift we would treat her to a weekend getaway to NEW YORK!! We booked a suite in a hotel, made spa reservations, got tickets to a Broadway show, dinner reservations, and of course lots of shopping time was planned too. So it all started on Friday when we all took half days (we are all teachers), jumped in my Tahoe, and headed to NY!


We got into our room around 3:30 and opened the bottles of wine!! Kar is the queen of spinach dip and treated us to a big container full, along with shrimp, grapes, strawberries, chex mix, milano's, and other yummy stuff. And the fun began...

Then we headed out to see "Wicked" at the Gershwyn Theater. I am not a huge Wizard of Oz fan and since it was kind of like a "before the movie" play I wasn't totally into it. The actresses who played the witches were incredible though and I can only imagine what it must be like to have voices that powerful. The set was absolutely awesome...it is amazing what they can do with so little space.



After the show, we were starving so we headed to a little diner right down from the theater. Inside the wait staff were all dressed in their 50's attire and took turns singing oldies, but goodies, karaokie style. Totally screaming, "I want to be on broadway please check me out!"

We headed back to the hotel through Times Square where we just had to have a group photo and then ended our first day by enjoying some nightcaps before heading to bed.

  1. I am officially jealous. I lived a 5 hour drive away from NYC for four years, and never went. How un-American is that??? :)

    I'm hoping to do something like that sometime too, though.

  3. Hi Melissa,
    The girls weekend sounded fun. I did my student teaching 5th grade tam with Pamm Swadley and her room was across the hall from Karlin Maul(?) Is that still her last name? Tell her hi! Liz
