New York






Doug, Mags and I went to New York for the very last week of Summer! Maggie starts school on August 12! YUCK!!
So we stayed at the Trump International and it was the week of Famous People. Our first encounter was Luke Wilson. Oh Course Mags and I were still catching zzz's but Doug saw him. Then we were leaving the Hotel and we noticed that there were some BIG shoes sitting in the Lobby. We turned around and there was Shaq! We were to shy to ask for a picture so sorry SHAQ fans. Then we went to Little Mermaid and paparazzi were everywhere. Katie Holmes and Suri were there. Little Mermaid was so good, Disney sure knows how to put on a show! We took a train ride to Wilmington DE for a look at a new Firebirds that had just opened. It's nice to be able to put a star on my map for DE and Penn. I never been there before so that was fun and eating at Firebirds is always good. We stuffed ourselves and then enjoyed the Train home. We also ran in Central Park and saw commercials and movies. WE enjoyed the Met this time visiting the Superhero, fashion...That was fun. But then we went and saw Chorus Line with Mario Lopez!!! need I say more? He is so cute! It was so good. But on Friday when we were leaving the Jonas Brothers were staying at our Hotel. The old bag that I am I didn't really know who they are but Maggie wanted to stick around to see them, So we didn't get to Magnolias for some cupcakes...And we never got to see them either. We had a great time! We enjoyed a Bread basket at every restaurant and now we are paying the Price!
