Last weekend was our annual Sally, Abby, Jane, and Allyson shopping trip. We have been doing this for about 6 years now. The first Christmas after I got married, Abby and I were both living in Indiana. Our mom's decided that they would drive over to Indy for the day and do some Christmas shopping with us. At the end of that day we decided that we should be doing this every year, and definitely for longer than a day. The next two years we found ourselves in Chicago, followed by another year back in Indianapolis because I was about 8 months pregnant, returned back to Chicago the next year, and then this year...thanks to our very own New Yorker, we flew to New York City to stay with Abby and shop until we dropped! We had the best time. I will spare Mom and Sally by sharing of their "stories" about simply driving to the airport. If you see them, you might have to ask them about rolls of wrapping paper and GPS systems.
Friday morning we got up and headed over to the "Today Show". We met just a few of our friends there...
Al...
Matt...
and some Waltons that might have made Sally's year...
Matthew also lives in New York and Friday just happened to be his 25th birthday. Isn't he a cutie?
Friday we shopped around at Macy's and then Friday night we went to Radio City to see the Rockettes! It was sooooo good. I had seen a similar show in Nashville, but it was really fun to see the show in New York with some new parts as well.
Saturday and Sunday were spent shopping, shopping, shopping. I can't divulge too much info or certain people might know what they are getting for Christmas.
Basically we had a fantastic time. Can't wait to see where our adventure lands us next year!
Much love,
Allyson
