Fun times in NYC ~ Day 1

{Thanks Flo for making this awesome graphic for me!}

Oct 20th... I was so excited I barely slept the night before! This was the day that I had been waiting 6 weeks for it to come. I was meeting my friend Kimberly at the airport to fly to NYC to visit with Linda and of course see Ace in Grease. Kimberly lives in GA but decided to fly to Tampa to catch a plane with me to NYC.

After a few minor problems we were happily sitting in our seats talking nonstop. {I was in line at the wrong gate and tried to board a plane to St Louis and Kimberly was so excited when she saw me she left her carry on bag at the seats. So of course when she remembered it, someone had already turned it into security}

Our fight was so fast because we never stopped talking and laughing the whole time. I bet our neighbors thought we were crazy!

We had a 3 hr wait at the airport until Linda could pick us up after work. We told her not to worry about it, we would get some lunch, shop and people watch. Well... little did we know, the Long Island Airport is so small there aren't any places to eat, only had one small store and hardly any flights so no people watching.

A local Diner was recommended to us so we took a cab there to have lunch. It was pretty funny walking into the Diner with 4 suitcases! They were so nice, joking around with us about us moving in, etc. The owners were a cute Italian family that looked like they were all part of John's family. We had delicious HUGE salads and kept up yappin' and laughin'. We had about another hour to wait for Linda so we decided to just stay there at the Diner and I opened up the laptop and we looked at every picture and video of Ace that I have stored! It was a lot of fun to show everything to Kimberly. I think my relatives at the Diner liked it too :) I always have to promote Ace where ever I go!

Linda picked us up and off we went to her house for the evening. She made delicious Chicken Cachitore for dinner mmmm it was so good! The rest of the evening was more like the day... just laughing and telling stories!

I made 6x6 coaster scrapbooks for Linda, Kimberly and Candace as a memory of our last get together at the Ace Trifecta. Here are some pics of the one I mailed to Candace. Linda & Kimberly's were almost the same, just had their pics with Ace in them. I used all CTMH paper, Fosters Beer Bucket Coasters, Bind it all, and a few of the die cuts were designed by Chris Duran at http://visualdesignsbychris.blogspot.com/ and cut on my KNK.
