Best Birthday Ever!

I never thought that turning 30 would be the most fun birthday of my life... but it's true!

Brian gave me a trip to NYC with a couple of girlfriends: Leigh Ann McIlvain & Andrea Maurer. We had the best time. And now I plan to break it down in detail!

Friday morning we met at NP and Brian chauffeured us to Hartsfield. We ate an early lunch at ABC and boarded the plane to LaGuardia. We hailed a cab & made our way to the heart of the city. Brian had booked a suite at the Doubletree Suites Times Square which is literally 100 yards from the foot of the big sign... Broadway at 42nd Street. Legally Blonde is currently playing next door at the Palace Theatre. Ridiculous location!

And there was some sort of special blessing on this trip. Everything worked out so smoothly - like magic! We never had to wait for anything. Timing worked perfectly. There was never a lull on this trip. Just perfection! Anyway, we scored the last double suite at the hotel; as opposed to one large king bed. The suite had plenty of space with a living room, a bedroom with two double beds and a good-sized bathroom. We put our bags inside and headed to TKTS.

There was no line at TKTS. Seriously - no queue! We walked right up to the box office. I'm serious - the heavens were smiling on us. We wanted something light and funny, so Leigh Ann graciously agreed to see Avenue Q for a second time. We went back to our hotel & changed for dinner. We were able to get reservations at Perilla down in Greenwich Village for 6pm. And that is where i will end my first installment. Perilla deserves it's own post :)
