Janene and I at Mama Mia Restaurant
Relaxing in our hotel room at the New York Marriott Eastside.When I turned 50 in 2008, Judie flew out from Houston and she and Janene treated me to a wonderful couple of days in San Diego where we went to the Hotel Del Coronado Spa, kyaked in the ocean and went out to dinner. It was very fun. I wanted to do something special for their 50th birthday. So I saved up the buddy plane passes I trade for giving piano lessons and gave each of them a plane ticket. They wanted to go to New York for our get away, so on Judie's actual birthday, March 4th, (Janenes was in December) we had our get away. I left my house at 2:30 a.m. and drove to Torrance. Janene's husband Craig drove us to LAX then went home and drove kids to seminary and went to work (HATS OFF TO CRAIG) We met Judie in Chicago where we all took a plane to New York. The conversation didn't lag much with the 3 of us gabbing. We stayed at the New York Marriott Eastside. For Judie's birthday dinner we went to Mama Mexico restaurant. Who knew you could get good Mexican food in New York! Delicioso! The next day we got up and went exploring. We ended up at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. We saw Al Roker from the Today Show in person and took a tour of the NBC studios. We visited the Plaza Hotel, Central Park, the Manhattan Temple, Julliard School, and saw the ball that drops in Time Square on New Years Eve. We went to the Broadway play "Westside Story" at the Palace theater and ate at Chipotle for lunch. We had a snack at famous Magnolia Bakery, (Janene has their cookbook. ) We would have gone to Brooklyn for pizza, but we ran out of time.
