The famous Seinfeld restaurant. Yep, we ate there!
Sitting across from the Statue of Liberty.
Some beggar in Times Square waiting for the ball to drop. ;)
The streets were already at capacity by 4 PM.
Walking through the city that night was insane!
And the temple pic I didn't put in the last post.
Two years ago today, Ryan and I were on our belated honeymoon in Times Square. We were staying at the Marriott, right in the center of all the action. People began filling the streets at about 1:30 PM that day, all for the sake of watching the ball drop at midnight! We heard that they were going to close off the streets at 4 PM (no one allowed past the yellow tape after that time. and if you wanted out, you weren't allowed back in). So we hurried off to get lunch so we could find a decent spot in the crowd.
My back had already begun bothering me from all the walking we had done that week (maybe that's what sparked my pain??), so we wanted to find a large enough space to the side where I could sit down. Once we found that, I found a newspaper to sit on, as the streets were filthy. I lasted a total of 45 minutes. I mean, how on earth was a pregnant women expected to hold in her pee for 8 hours?! At least I was able to say that I stood in Times Square on New Year's Eve, and that was enough for me! We went to our hotel room and listened to the action from there while watching it on TV. Our whole trip to Manhattan was a blast, and it was exactly how I imagined it. We even got to see a Broadway show! I can not wait to go back. Maybe on our first big anniversary. Anyway, I tell this story because that's probably the best New Year's Story I have. And wasn't it interesting? Ha.

I had forgotten that you guys went to New York. That sounds like so much fun...except the crowd of people. Some day I'll go there!
