NYC pt.1

New York City, here we come.  Jed and I planned a trip to NY for both of our birthdays.  So we ended up going somewhere inbetween the two.  We took the red eye to JFK and got into Manhattan at about 6:30 am.  We spent most of the day in a no sleep daze wantering around the city, trying to figure out where we were and where we wanted to go. We ate breakfast in Time Square, and then stumbled upon the Today Show.  We hung out there until we saw a few faces we recognized.  We headed on down to 5th Avenue, FAO Schwartz.  We took a nap in central park.  We went to the Met, took another nap in central park.  We then retired early to New Jersey where we were staying for the week, thanks to our friends Matt and Jessica Stevenson, who lovingly let us stay with them.  

Friday morning we got up early to go surfing.  This  vacation surprisingly was a 2 for 1 package deal.  NYC vacation, and beach surfing vacation.  The waves were pretty good and the beach was super nice too.  

We went into the city after lunch and checked out the Statue of Liberty.  This one was mostly for Miles who told everyone we were going to see Lady Liberty.  

That evening we met up with our good buddy "The Dish"  She showed us a good time.  We went to a swing club that she frequents.  The night we were there, they were filming a commercial.  This did not help with the courage we were already lacking to get out on the dance floor.  They were in desperate need of fillers for the commercial.  I told them I would not dance for the commercial, so they used me as a.......I am not sure.  All i know is i was supposed to talk to some guy, pretend like the band was amazing, and they put a martini glass in my hand.  Don't worry, I didn't partake.  The night ended with a stroll through Time Square once again.
