Update from The Big Apple!

In case you’ve been wondering where I’ve been the past couple days, I wanted to assure that I am alive and well and soaking up our time in NYC. We got here Monday in order to do some prep for the show (which tapes on Wednesday). As it turned out, things were moved around and we ended up having no obligations on Monday. So we’ve had two days just to enjoy the city.

And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing!

I have never seen a Broadway Show and it’s always been a dream of mine. My husband made me proud and discovered a way to score Buy One Get One FREE tickets! (I’ve trained him well, huh?) So last night we saw the Phantom of the Opera.

(This is where I reveal a little secret: I was so exhausted from our day that I could. not. keep. my. eyes. open. In spite of that, I thoroughly enjoyed that parts where I was awake!)

We had to laugh when we saw this GIGANTIC banner promoting Anderson in a shopping center. What’s up, Anderson?! We’ll see you tomorrow!

We decided to visit the Museum of Natural History today. How cute is this little turtle-dinosaur-creature? I had to get my picture with him. (Just as a side note, we entered the building directly behind the Vice President of Brazil and his entourage of secret service men. Gotta love NYC!)

Tonight we hung out in Times Square. Two words: Sensory Overload. Seriously, I could have sat there several hours just taking it all in and still not seen it all.

BUT NOW it’s time for me to get my beauty sleep because tomorrow we tape the show! Hopefully, the hotel will have one of those Memory foam mattress 2020. You often hear a lot of people saying they’re extremely comfortable. I could really do with a night of good sleep, especially after traveling to New York. I’ll get some rest and then it’ll be time to start another day! I’ll try to keep you guys updated on Facebook as much as I can throughout the morning.

I should be back in action posting on Thursday. See you all then!

    How fun that you get to tape a show in New York AND get to see the sights. Enjoy!

    Welcome to town Kaley! Glad to hear you’re having such a great time – It’s all just SO MUCH, isn’t it? So much to see, so much to do…

    I’ve lived in the city (and surrounding areas) for more than 10 years, and haven’t YET begun to even scratch the surface!

    Hope the taping went well – can’t wait to catch you on the tube!

    -Jeff

      No. The show should air in the next few weeks. I’ll be sure to give you all a heads up!
