Christmas in the City

A few weekends ago Ben planned a whole day for us in the City to see all the Christmas decor.  The day before we were planning on going I got a text from one of my best friends, Whittney, from college telling me that her and her family were going to be in the City as well. So we of course met up to have some lunch.  It was so much seeing her especially now that she lives in Texas.


Then we met up with our friends Mike and Kristin to explore the City for the day.  We first went to the Met to see the Christmas Tree. I wish I had a picture of it but for some reason you are not allowed to take pictures of it.  Then we walked around Central Park and watched some ice skaters and drank some heavenly apple cider and hot chocolate.  Then we made it to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas Tree. Now this is the first year that Ben and I actually made it into the city to see the tree and I am so glad that we finally made it. It was so beautiful.








After looking at the tree we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant.  It was sooooo good.  Then we went back to Rockefeller Center and went to the top of Rockefeller Center to see the city at night. It was so amazing to see the city all lit up.  So glad we did that.





Overall, it was such a fun day but very exhausting. I think I had fallen asleep within ten minutes after getting back to the car.
