Duff Girls Come to Town

This weekend we had special guests- Maggie, Caroline, and Aunt Sherry- we did lots of fun things in the city together- I love having guests to remind me how fun this great city is!
Caroline's first subway ride- We headed downtown to see the Statue of Liberty, eat at Shake Shack, shop at Century 21, shop in Soho and wear our feet out!

Next stop Times Square and the M&M store

Paps are always chasing William down
Growing up with Mags meant growing up with Lion King- It was her favorite movie and I vividly remember her carrying Simba and Nala everywhere we went. Aunt Sherry was kind enough to get us tickets for the Broadway show. It was AMAZING.



We left the show in amazement to eat at La Toloache in midtown. Its so yummy, especially the sweet plantains.
We also checked out the Harry Potter Exhibit- Maggie knows everything about HP and was a great guide. It was really interesting to see all of the props.


No trip to visit the Egans is complete without a trip to Westville and walk around the Village.
We headed to a friend's house for desert on their rooftop- I love finding my husband in the center of kids. He is going to be the best dad.
I love this city and the man beside me to experience it.

Mags and me with the Hudson behind us. It was so good to spend time with her.
Walking through Chinatown and Little Italy
After a few days of touring we decided to spoil ourselves with the most amazing foot massages one will ever experience. William stayed with us for protection, but this place was clean and the staff was so nice.
Some friends recommended this place- 25 bucks for an hour foot and leg massage WITH a pedicure! They also have an hour massage for 30 bucks!
Its called
Renew Day Spa
42 Bowery St
2nd Floor

(between Bayard St & Canal St)

It was just what we needed! We felt revived enough to head back uptown to meet Sherry and Caroline at the Marriott Marque revolving restaurant. It was a really cool place to get yummy strawberry lemonade and see the city from another view.
It was a great trip with the girls and I can't wait to see them again- or to visit Mag at BYU :) but I'm Ole Miss is okay too.
