End of Spring Break!!!

What a CRAZY week of spring break!!!!  After getting back from Amsterdam, I threw my clothes into the wash, dried them, and repacked for a workshop on pedagogical leadership in New York City. Wow...crazy!

I LOVE New York (I know...how cliche!).  I really do!  SO MUCH TO SEE...SO MUCH TO DO...SO MUCH TO ENJOY!

I got to play tour guide, as several of the people who went (including my superintendent...no pressure there!) have never BEEN to New York before.

It was actually fun to do the "touristy" thing...we hit Canal Street, had FABULOUS food in "Little Italy", viewed the city after dark from the "Top of the Rock", took tourist-y pictures in Times Square, walked through Central Park, took a SUPER FAST tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and sauntered down 5th avenue.

I "bit the bullet", and paid A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE DOLLARS to see "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" on Broadway, and have to say it's probably the BEST "almost two hundred dollars" I've ever spent...WOW!  What an AMAZING show!!!!


Here's a clip from one of the numbers...you can see more at the following link: http://www.priscillaonbroadway.com/video.html!!!  



Will and me before the show

I REALLY loved this musical!!!!

FABULOUS trip....FABULOUS company...FABULOUS chance to explore one of the most AMAZING cities in the U.S.!!!!!

Here's hoping YOU were able to experience the COOLNESS of a great American city recently too!!!!!
