Josh&Natalie: New york 2009

After our 2nd reception in texas we headed to long island, new york! We loved it there but after 2 weeks our office moved to washington dc. We ended up staying there for the rest of the summer. While we were in new york we went to the hamptons, the beach was soo pretty but we of course decided to go the day it was rainy and gross. But i got a picture of josh, who looks super happy to be there:) My parents also came to visit for 4 days and since we had been to new york as a family before we wanted to show josh all the new tourist stuff. We went to the empire state building where i hugged the inner wall the whole time and sat on the stairs with my head between my legs, if you have ever been there before the whole building sways with the wind, made me want to barf on the hobos below. We went to WICKED which was by far one of my most favorite musicals EVER! i loved ever second and literally had my mouth open in shock the whole time wondering how they can put on a production like that! GA-lenDA made me laugh

Our 1st apt

so hard i cried! Both my parents and josh said she reminded them of me, she was funny in a dumb blonde way......is that a compliment? I will take it! After the show we went out to eat at the best restuarant ever! we sat outside and it was perfect weather, it was one of my most favorite nights because josh was getting to know my parents more and I was on a high from wicked, the food was awesome, and everyone was laughing and having fun! We also road the subway everywhere, which was cool cause after the first day i knew how to get everywhere. Felt like a true new yorker, i even tried to stare past people, like everyone else in new york does, but i ended up gawking when hobo looking people came on or when the transvestite stood next to my dad! HILARIOUS! We went to the statue of liberty, it was really fun but we had to run to catch or ferry, i mean like 50 yd dash run not a light jog. I of course was huffing and puffing while josh was eating a bagel and drinking his drink while running, made me look pathetic! Oh our hotel was super super classy, it was called the london, before i got married it would have been the nicest hotel i have ever stayed in(we stayed in the venetian our 2nd day being married), a guy from the sopranos was staying there too, my dad recognized him, i never watched it before. Then we went on those bike chariot tours in central park my parents in one and josh and i in the other, they took us to tavern on the green, strawberry fields, the water fountain where the opening credits to friends was filmed, through the whole park, our guides were friends from turkey, and super funny, cause they loved american films and told us all the major films that had ever been filmed in or near central park. We went to coney island at night time which was scary and ate at the first ever Nathans! SO good! We went shopping at Macys and bought purses from street vendors, i could have talked the guy lower on price but my dad felt bad and paid full price:( haha We ate hot dogs from street vendors too, and my dad got a soda which the top was super dirty but he didnt notice till he was half way done, pretty sure he swallowed some swine flu!
