I went away for the First Annual Girls Weekend. I knew it was time to get away when Jeff mentioned that he had never been alone with Tyler overnight before and he is almost 4 years old. Anyway... we went to New York City and had a blast. We saw the broadway show Wicked, which I highly reccommend to everyone, ate at a restaurant in Little Italy and had the best pasta I have ever had, road the subway everywhere, took a scary taxi ride to and from the temple, went to the Statue of Liberty, and finally went to the tennis match of my life time and saw my hero Pete Sampras.
The Girls waiting to go into Wicked.
Getting on the subway in Time Square.
It was very windy and chilly at the Statue of Liberty but well worth the trip.
Finally to the big tennis showdown between Pete Sampras and Rodger Federer. Yes, we were a little early, note the empty seats, but it was actually sold out and well worth the wait. Pete is my all time favorite player and he is retired now so you don't get to see him play very often, he was and is the best player setting records that have yet to be broken. Rodger Feder is ten years younger and the current number one player in the game now and yes, admittedly catching up to Petes records.
In the end it was a great match, however Pete lost in a very intense third set tie break. I was a little sad but still so happy and greatful I got to see my favorite player in action.

Rushell! Shawn, Ellie and I are going to NYC in June!!! Do you have any tips? I'm so overwhelmed on where to stay, what to do, etc. Lend me all your advice!
I think some other "girls" will have to let in on the Girls Weekends! Sounds like a great time. I'm going to Wicked on Saturday, up in LA! I'm so excited!
That looks like so much fun! I am glad you had a great time. I don't think I know anyone in the pics with you besides your mom. It is good to see what you are up to after such a long dry spell... :)
What a great weekend! I'm glad you had so much fun. That's a weekend you won't forget.
