Well, we just returned from our anniversary trip to New York City. WOW!! That's all I can say. For a country boy like me, let's just say it was a major case of culture shock. When we first were driven into the city from the airport, the lights of Times Square were amazing. The whole place was lit up like noon even though it was dark outside. I can't even put into words what it was like seeing it for the first time.
We had a really great trip. I was ready to come home after being there for 5 days, but we did have a blast while we were there. We were even pros at crossing the street and riding the subway when we left!!
Probably the coolest thing that happened was on saturday. We took a tour of NBC studios and got to see the studio where the NBC nightly news is filmed. We also saw the studio of the Dr. Keith show, and the coolest part happened....we saw the Saturday Night Live Studio. Just seeing it was cool enough, but the best part was that they were practicing for that night's show while we were there. We saw Justin Timberlake and the cast practicing the skit "Dry Eyes" during our tour. Now, I'm no Justin Timberlake fan by any means, but it was cool to see him that close (a celebrity) and to then see that skit aired on TV that night. We were there for practice!!
The two Broadway shows we saw were amazing as well. Phantom of the Opera and Chicago were amazing. I know as a guy I'm probably not supposed to enjoy that stuff, but it was really neat. The music (my passion) was outstanding and it was neat just being on Broadway in New York watching something like that.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip. I'd love to go back, although it won't be any time soon. Our hotel was fabulous, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Maybe in a few years we can make it back, but I'm pretty happy in little 'ole Pickens for now.
Until next time...
