For Katie's 40th we all made the trip to NYC to celebrate. She had always wanted to skate at Rockefeller Center and we did it with her to celebrate. It was such a fun weekend and great to catch up with everyone.
The skate itself was magical, we splurged on the VIP tickets which led us into a little heated room with hot chocolate and cookies and no wait. The line up to get into the rink was up the stairs and around the entire rink! We saw to proposals at the centre of the ice. It was magical.
Afterwards we walked down to Times Square. It was bustling as usual but I think even more so given the Christmas season. It was a couple of weeks after the Paris shootings and security was through the roof. It was unnerving to see the gated off area where NYPD members were stand with assault rifles. So sad it has come to that.
We were able to snap two tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway, the hot ticket right now. We could only get after market seats. Boy was it worth it! I haven't stopped listening to the soundtrack since!
The couple beside remarked it was a masterpiece, it was! President Obama has seen it twice and recently invited the writer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda to freestyle in the Rose Garden (I think he likes it). It was the best show I've ever seen. I hope they will tour.
Happy Birthday Katie!
