Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to me! Yummy and sweet birthday wishes for me. Michael took me to Serendipity in Manhattan. Very famous for it's frozen hot chocolate.
Frozen hot chocolate big enough for two or three or four!

Forbidden Broadway Sundae. It has a slice of chocolate cake with chocolate chips in it and an amazing rich frosting served with three scoops of ice cream all topped (well more like smothered) in creamy hot fudge!
And this is how I felt after all the suger I consumed!!! Michael and I walked about a mile to a different subway stop, just so we would have a little room in our tummy's to breath.

Oh, New York

Only in New York City, a place where people like to stay out all night and party way to hard, can you find a foley bag full of urine on the sidewalk. And not even near a trash can, just out on the sidewalk. Well, it was too fun/disturbing not to share it with all you guys!!! Boy it sure makes me miss the small, uneventful lifestyle that is Magnolia, AR.

Boston & Harvard

Stefanie and me with the Longfellow Bridge in the background and Harvard behind that.






So when two nurses have a couple of days, what do they do? Jump on a bus and take off to Boston!! Yep! It took one day to plan (well less actually). There are super cheap buses that run from NYC to Boston all day long. So Stef and me took an early bus trip on Monday up to Boston. Once we got there and checked into our amazing hotel, we walked along the Freedom Trail. It's a famous path through Boston on which Paul Revere rode to warn of the invading British soldiers. There's also really old churches and state house that where the sites of planning the Tea Party, where the Boston Massacre took place.


After a historical first day, it was time to shop and eat. Luckily, it was restaurant week in Boston. We ate at a bistro, the Melting pot, an Irish pub and two steakhouses. Amazingly good food!
This is my sandwich from the Bistro. (grilled chicken with fresh mozzarella and balsamic glaze)

We also visited Harvard University and rubbed the foot of John Harvard for good luck.
