John asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year, so of course I said I wanted him to take me to NYC to see Grease again! Yes, I know I was just there a month ago but I had so much fun I wanted to do it again and share the fun with John. So we started to make plans and then the day we were going to make the plane reservations John decided he didn't want to go to NYC but said for me to go and take Jessica. I couldn't believe he didn't want to go. But to him hoping to catch Ace at the stage door in the freezing cold didn't appeal to him. ha ha. So I called Jessica and she said she would love to go, then I called Kimberly and she said "I'm packing now"!
So here is a little bit of our first day in NYC!
John was on vacation so he made golf plans for after he dropped us off at the airport. But poor guy was a little late for golf because I left my leather coat in the backseat and he had to come back to the airport with it :( He was probably happy for me to leave for a few days!
We flew out on Friday Nov 21 and met Kimberly at JFK. We got a cab and went straight to the hotel to check in. We couldn't believe the location of our hotel! 1/2 block off the center of Times Square! We stayed at the Millennium, it was perfect and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the center of the excitement! Also it was just a 10 min walk to the Ace's theatre!
After checking in and Jessica spending $8.50 on a draft beer *gasp* we headed over to the theatre to buy our tickets for the weekend. There were 5 shows available during our weekend, but we had restraint and only bought tickets for 3 of them.
After getting some much needed dinner we went back to the hotel to get ready for our first show that night.
Of course we left early to try and catch Ace at the stage door before the show. And yes we were lucky and got a few hugs, but it was freezin' out so we didn't stay long with him. So Ace went in to get ready and we went to the bar next door for a couple of refreshments.
This was the first time we sat in the mezzanine. We had front row which was good seats however not as good as sitting up close to the stage. But...I did see a couple other people in the show this time!
After the show we went backstage with Ace. He was in a hurry, lots of people there to see him and he had to go and pick up his Mom! How exciting for him. So we just chatted briefly and took some pics and we headed back to the bar for more refreshments. Here are few pics to enjoy until I can recap day 2.
