New York - East Coast Experience - Day 6 - Final Day

Well after a undeniably unforgettable trip... we have finally found ourselves to have arrived at our last day in New York.

I planned something quite special for this day... Special for us that is....

After a tremendous amount of vacationing we found ourselves rather tuckered at this point and just needed something relaxing to do...

So I booked us a 3 hour cruise... This was perfect and so much fun...

We could not have planned a better event to do on such a dark, rainy and cold day... the cruise director gave us a spoken tour of everything we saw... he was awesome... and funny... totally made the cruise...

We ate, I drank and it was just relaxing... exactly what we needed... this was a blast!!!!

Here is what we saw on our cruise... Enjoy!!!

After our cruise... it was now 6pm and at 7pm I had one more thing to do... probably the most special thing yet...

We were going to see 'Wicked' on BROADWAY!!!


OMG... I could not wait!!!

Here are some pictures I got before we went in...

First we arrive at the Gershwin *butterflies* and I rush to Will Call get our tickets.
God only knows I paid a small fortune for them.



Next we went to get some cash at the corner since I depleted what I had for the
trip...

















We were not allowed cameras past the lobby so I got these pics before we went in...






3 hours later and we walked out mesmerized... This was hands down the greatest play I ever saw. Worth everything I spent... The stage was fantastic and the talent of these actors was just unbelievable... we were enthralled with the entire story and every scene... I glance over at Cody once in awhile and he was just engrossed. HE LOVED IT... EVERY BIT OF IT... I just knew he would...

afterwards I bought all the memorabilia could get my hands on... My favorite item was the official Wicked poster will all the players signatures on it.




This will be framed and put up in my home....

Now we realize our vacation was coming to a close...... before we went home for the last time, we were in Time Square so we decided to go eat... we choose the Hard Rock Cafe for our last New York restaurant...

Perfect... I love the Hard Rock Cafes... atmosphere is so fun!!! we ate and just enjoyed our last meal in New York... we than walked through Time Square and just took it in one last time... said our goodbyes...

We hit a Starbuck's as we did every night and went back...

We packed and went to bed....

Next day we spent all day coming back home to California... after over 12 hours, it felt good to be home.... real good!!!

But without a doubt in my mind I will go back someday, sooner than later too... so much I still want to see and do...

New York definitely stole a piece of my heart... and one day I need to return to get it back...

Truly a city that never sleeps, so intoxicating, so bright and so very alive...

Goodbye wonderful, beautiful, enchanting New York... my new wonderful friend!
