NYC 2012 Day 2

We are staying in an apartment while we are here, and it is super roomy and kind of feels like we live in Ikea..which I love. Here it is

Classic Stacey, on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty

Us with Lady Liberty

 I don't make all the group shots so I try to grab pics of myself whenever I can, call me self-centered

Skyline

Again, classic Stacey, hand in chip bag

After we headed to Ellis Island... it was beautiful inside

And outside.

Freedom Tower

Hanging out near Wagner Park

We had lunch at a delicious Italian place, where we were right on the water and could see the Statue of Liberty, it was fantastic! 

And had to spend forever in the Walgreens in Times Square, naturally

All ready for NEWSIES!

 The stage

I mean, everyone knows how excited I was to see this right? So I wasn't skeptical or anything about it. I realized it wouldn't be the movie and was okay with that. But OH MY GOODNESS this was INCREDIBLE! I cannot explain how much I loved this, the singing the dancing, it was all perfect! And while I did miss Christian Bale as Jack "Cowboy" Kelly, he had a fantastic replacement! Notice how many exclamation marks I'm using!! It's a lot!

So after, I cannot even tell you how giddy I was, we just had to wait and get autographs and pictures

Here we are with the star of the show - the future Christian Bale

So Newsies may have been the hit of the trip, I don't know, we have lots more to go. But I just loved it and would see it again tomorrow if I could. 

Afterwards, we met up with cousin Syd for some burgers at the Shake Shack, which was also divine! We'll see her tomorrow to for Jimmy Fallon, can't wait!
