I found out that I would be going on a trip to NYC three days before spring break actually began. I was ecstatic to find out that my boyfriend's parents were sending us on a trip to New York for the weekend as an early graduation present. My boyfriend and I are both heavily involved in theater, so taking a trip to the big apple was right up our alley!
We took an 8 hour megabus ride to the city. (A megabus is fairly cheap transportation to and from NYC on a coach-type bus) Though the ride was long and greuling, we finally arrived, and checked into our hotel which was right in Times Square :-)
That night we saw our favorite show on Broadway, "Phantom of the Opera" ... It was everything we imagined it would be!
The next day we took the subway and shopped ALL DAY. We were literally out from 10am-7pm shopping. It was a very fun day, except for I had a very bad cold and we had to walk 25 blocks back to our hotel! Talk about a work out!
We cleaned up a bit, then headed to a swanky little burger place in Times Square. We both got bacon cheeseburgers, and to my surprise, they were delicious! I am not much of a burger person but these were great!
The next day we took the subway to Central Park and from there we walked to a giant candy store called Dylan's Candy Bar. They had every candy you could ever imagine! It was heaven!!!
That was our last stop, before waiting in the cold for the bus that was an HOUR late.
That was probably the most frustrating, being cold, tired, and knowing we had a very long trip ahead.
We arrived in Pittsburgh around 1:30 am and we were EXHAUSTED.
The trip was so much fun, and I am so glad I actually got to spend spring break out of town for a bit!!
