The BIG Apple

At the end of last year my parents decided to take a trip to New York...and lucky us, we got to tag along (thanks Mom & Dad)!!! I had never been to New York, so I didn't know quite what to expect...we went to...
Time Square
Little Italy
The Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
Empire State Building (not quite the Sleepless in Seattle experience I had hoped for)
Trump International (and we searched for "The Donald"...but never saw him)
Walked through Central Park (famous bridge from You've Got Mail & Enchanted)
Checked out Tiffany & Co. (although I didn't buy anything - sigh...I know, so disappointing, right?!)
And, my favorite part...we checked out the Today Show - where I got my picture taken with Matt (we're now on a first name basis!!!)...
and Al

and had anyone been up early on Thursday and watched the show, you would have seen us waving like idiots for the camera!!!

Those are a few of the "highlights" from our trip...it was a fabulous trip - but I have to admit I was very EXCITED to get out of the city and back to Idaho...where the air is clean (minus Simplot) and I don't have to walk down the street shoulder-to-shoulder with a million other people...even Driggs was looking pretty nice!!!

How fun... I am jealous I could use a vaca! Pretty disapointed about the whole coming home empty handed from Tiffany's though! I am sure you got some other killer memorabilia.

Cory and Ashley,

Surprise this is Jeremy Furniss. I know it's been years, but I hope you don't mind me writing.

Congrats on the move to Driggs and the trip to NYC. My wife Heather and I loved our trip there as well. Anyways, here is our blog http://jeremyandheatherfurniss.blogspot.com if you want to keep in touch.

Ashley! I'm glad that you found our blog. Remember how random that was when we saw each other in the Chicago airport? Too bad I wasn't still living in NYC when you went. I could have taken you to some of my favorite spots. Did you get a cupcake from Magnolias?
