Taking a Bite Out of the Big Apple

I spent this whole week catching up and took zeeero pictures… so, I’m going to show you a little more about my trip. Warning: There is basically no teaching content in this post.

My husband always tells me that I take pictures of things and scenery, but complains that I’m never in the pictures. Besides, I’m a blogger… don’t I have to take awkward mirror pictures?

A beautiful city!

I was pretty excited to be there. You could juuust barely see the Hudson River from my hotel room window.

As a birthday gift, my husband got me tickets to Phantom of the Opera.

They were incredible seats in a beautiful theater, and the show was downright amazing.

We heard a talk from author/ illustrator Henry Cole- so inspiring.

He also signed a book for each of us- the wordless picture book Unspoken.

Here’s me with Scholastic Book Clubs’ President and the Scholastic CEO/ Chairman. They were both wonderful and truly wanted our feedback.

The Scholastic building was definitely a book lover’s paradise.

Of course, I got a chance to shop at the Scholastic Store in SoHo, too. So many wonderful books to choose from!

So, basically… it couldn’t be much more of an incredible trip! I also got a chance to see Mamma Mia, eat at Guy Fieri’s restaurant, see the 9/11 memorial, visit Rockefeller Center, and pass all kinds of famous landmarks.

At this point, I’m down to about 6 weeks of school left, and only about 3 weeks until my husband graduates. Hard to believe this semester has gone so fast!

Next week, I’ll remember to get a few more pictures at school to share with you! :)

What was the last great trip you went on?
