On 12/9/10 I went to New York City for the first time, ever. This fact seems to surprise a lot of people, especially my extended family in California. It’s surprising because I’ve lived in Maryland my entire life and NYC is only 3 1/2 hours away.

I finally got the chance to go with my friend, who suggested we decided to see Elf on Broadway. At first, I thought it was a silly (and expensive) idea…turns out it was a fantastically wonderful idea! I felt like I was a little kid!

As a photographer, one would expect that I would take multiple cameras and flash cards, yet, I didn’t take anything! I figured, hey, it’s my first time, I really should just drink it all in. And drink it in I did!

We started at Serendipity 3, which is the restaurant where the movie Serendipity was filmed. It was such a fun place! I was tempted to get dessert, but decided not to because by the end of the meal we were so full!

We then walked around and found a great little…ok, not so little….candy shop, that had three stories of candy! I think my favorite part was the stairs filled with candy in them.

(may each step you take be sweet)

Candy is inspiring!
