My birthday came a little early this year. Parker surprised me with a weekend in New York City and a new camera since the old one was becoming a bouncing ball for the boys. We saw the tree in Rockefeller Center and we were able to get to the top of the Empire State building this time. It was snowing, definitely a sight to see watching snow fall on the city. I also wanted to see the Cake Boss so we went to Jersey but the line to get into the bakery was three blocks long so we opted for a photo from across the street, another item off the bucket list. We also went to Central Park for a carriage ride.
