5th Year Anniversary

9/6/2011

 
This summer Greg and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary!  We decided to celebrate by having a special time in New York City together!  We started out by walking around Central Park and eating at the Loeb Boathouse - the setting was very romantic (you can see the view from our table below) and the food was amazing!

After supper we stayed at the 70 Park Avenue Hotel!  The room had an incredible view of the city (see pictures below) and our room even had a jacuzzi!

In the morning we slept in (with two toddlers we hadn't been able to do that in years!) and had Crisp falafels for lunch - so yummy!

And then headed over to the 5th Avenue Chocolatier for delicious chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels for dessert!

Back at Central Park we walked around a bit more, and then had a sketch of us drawn (and of course we bartered our artist down to 1/3 of the regular price :).

We also spent some time at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (so amazing this is FREE)!  Our favorite places were the rooftop cafe - such a pretty view, and the Egypt section - sooo cool!

Greg loved this bird with a hat - he insisted we go back and see it a second time! :)

On our final night in NYC we ate at ViceVersa - a romantic little Italian restaraunt in the theater district and then saw the broadway musical The Phantom of the Opera.  As usual we bought the cheapest tickets (rear mezzanine) and then because the theater is old and doesn't have an elevator to bring me up to the balcony, the theater owner placed us in some of the best seats in the front section! :)

Greg and I had a wonderful time strolling through Central Park and the city, eating wonderful food, exploring the MET, staying at a fancy hotel, and seeing a wonderful musical, but the very best part of the whole time in New York City was being with the most wonderful man in the world!  I am so incredibly blessed to be married to a man who serves God and his family sacrificially and loves me with all of his heart!  He is generous, sensitive, strong, and the most amazing husband and father imaginable.  I love you Greg Vruggink!  I've been so blessed to be Mrs. Vruggink for five fabulous years! :)
