First thing we tried to get rush tickets to see the Book of Mormon on Broadway but there were a lot of people there and we didn't manage to get the tickets.



Next stop - the Disney Store in Times Square


Mid-day Gelato

An afternoon trip to Macy's

And finally dinner at Angelica's Kitchen - a delicious vegetarian / health food restaurant

So I've finally got round to uploading some pictures from New York!

We took so many photos while we were there so I'm going to do one post for each day so I can post as many pictures as possible.

First stop, Times Square


Lunch at Bubba Gumps in Times Square

Everything about the restaurant is themed from the film Forrest Gump





M&M's world


Grimaldi's Pizza for dinner

The longest queue for a restaurant!

We became a tourist attraction!

Such good pizza (we actually came back again before we went back to Toronto)



Afterwards we stopped by the Brooklyn Bridge for to take in the skyline of Manhattan

This Is It

This week I finally finished my second attempt at sewing a dress based on a pattern! The last time I used this pattern it was a bit of a disaster and the dress ended up unwearable. I was so disappointed because I really love the way this dress looks. This time though things turned out much better! The dress is actually a bit too big (especially under the arms) but other than that I think it turned out really well. I think i'm going to make a another though since they keep getting better, smaller next time, and I'm proud to say I finally figured out how to sew the zip in properly!


Also I'm excited to start my sewing class two weeks tomorrow at The Sewing Studio! We found a great deal on Groupon, soon there'll be no stopping me!

Sunset on Olympic Island

Last night we took our friends on the ferry to the Toronto Islands to watch the sunset. It's no secret that this is one of our favourite places in the city. We didn't have time to make it over to Algonquin Island before the sun went down so this time we just hung around on Olympic Island, fighting off the midges, by the waters edge.

A Few Catch Up Photos

I just wanted to share a few photos from dinner on Saturday night with friends from York who've flown over to Toronto for a conference this week. It's been great seeing them again and taking them to our favourite restaurants.




And the cupcake from Mike's birthday last week!
