Lily's 16th Birthday in New York City - May 5 - 8, 2022

 

We started Lily's birthday as we do all birthdays, with breakfast in bed and opening gifts.  However one of the gifts she opened was tickets to New York City, leaving right after school :)  She was pretty excited, to say the least!





We had a great little hotel in SoHo


We went to dinner at a cute little Italian restaurant, a formal embarrassing happy birthday was sung, and gave Lily her gift for day 2.









Day 2 was full of shopping, getting makeup done, and a photo shoot.  The evening included dinner at a Steven Star restaurant and the musical "Come From Away".

First coffee...





Next makeup... mine definitely looked better in B&W photos!








Unfortunately it was a rainy day for the photo shoot, but the photographer made the most of it and captured some beautiful photos!







































































Dinner at Budakhan




Me and my musical buddy hit the town afterwards...





Day 3 - Graffiti day!  The gale force winds got in the way of the tour in the Bronx, but we still did the painting class.















Dinner at hotpot - one of our favorites!




Our last day we were planning on biking in Central Park, but it was a little chilly.  So instead we walked the city, visited the 911 Memorial, and had lunch at the Chelsea Market before heading home.
