New York City. June, 2008...
Just one day after arriving home from sunny Burbank, I was off to the East Coast. I was lucky enough to be a chaperone on Megan's much awaited "Performing Arts Tour" of New York City. I met Heidi and Megan (and the rest of the musical theater, choir kids from Reed H.S.) in NYC, and we had a fun filled week! We went to the Empire State Building, Radio City Music Hall, MOMA, Met. Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Opera House, China town, Times Square, Broadway shows... it was endless fun, burning the candle at both ends!
Heidi and I were surprised to find we did NOT meet the height requirements to be a Rockette! Imagine!
It was fun to have some time to hang out with Heidi!
This is the whole group, at the fountain by the Boat House in Central Park. All talented, great kids. We saw "Young Frankenstein," The Little Mermaid," "Mary Poppins," and "Mama Mia." The post-show tradition was to meet the stars and get autographs outside the stage door. Megan looks beautiful with one of the stars from Mermaid.
East Coast beaches are beautiful, but very different from beaches of the Pacific. Paige and I sport our lovely red hats, and Leah (finally) warmed up to the feel of the sand. She didn't like to touch it... it was so cute!
What an incredible city! Before the tour group came into town, I had a short visit with Doug, Amber, Leah and Paige. Besides the beach, we spent some time in Cental Park, rowing a boat on the pond, riding the carousel, shopping, eating, and exploring the city.
Thanks, everyone... it was so great to see you all. I MUST say this--Amber and Doug are incredible parents, with incredible, beautiful girls!
