She’s been dreaming about it for years. My daughter, Ireland has always wanted to go to New York. Well, dreams really do come true! We’re here! And, she’s loving it!

Ireland has been dancing ever since I can remember. Ballet, tap, jazz. The works. This summer she is going to a musical theater camp just outside of New York City. We decided to fly out a few days early to take it the city. What fun!

We’re staying at a really great new hotel called The Quin. The room is gorgeous! I don’t think I ever want to check out! Heavenly! Not to mention, great location! We’re just blocks away from Broadway and Times Square!

Last night we took in our first show. Ireland has always wanted to see Wicked. Me too! I surprised her with tickets for her birthday. The show was amazing! Who knew the wicked witch was so cool!

The weather here has been perfect! Sunny and gorgeous! We took a stroll through Central Park. Ireland loved it! There’s so much to see here. So much to do! So many stores to shop! So much great food to try! I don’t even think we’ll get close to doing all the things we want to do this trip.

We still have a couple more days before camp starts. You can see what we’re up to in the Big Apple on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Have you been to NYC? Any favorite spots we need to go to? I’m pretty sure we’ll be back!
