After classes on Saturday, the girls were done early and we decided to hop a bus to NYC. It is only an hour and 45 minutes away. Here they are getting on the bus to see NYC for the first time. They both informed us that this is where they will be living when they get out of High School. They both hope to go to Julliard, but they have also thought of NYU. Never did we realize what an adventure this trip would be. As we boarded the bus, it seemed simple enough. That was not the case hours later when we missed every single bus and train out of NYC. We sat at Roxy's diner in Times Square wondering what in the heck we were going to do, and how were we going to get back to Philadelphia. We called our husbands who were googling everything they could think of all while giving us a hard time for not paying attention to the time. Can you blame us, it is NYC there is so much to see and do. Besides if it's the city that never sleeps, how would we have ever guessed that the last of trains and buses stopped at 11:00 at night. That is just wrong. On another note, that diner in Times Square, Roxy's. They have the best cheesecake I have ever had in my life. It was certainly a comfort food on this night. We thought we were going to have to sleep in Central Park. Finally we walked for about a half hour like some homeless people, the girls thought it was soo funny, me and Dana, not so much. Dana spotted one of those black lincoln town cars that drive people around in the city, you know, like in The Devil Wears Prada and asked him if he could take us to Philadelphia, he said yes for $300 ouch. What other choice did we have? We finally arrived in Philly at 3:00 a.m. The girls slept the whole way. They never knew that the driver got lost about five times. Still, this was one of the best trips I have been on. Thank you, Dana and Madison.
