my favorite photo :)
waiting for the train to take us in to the city... we totally weren't supposed to be able to go, but circumstances allowed us to get here. We got a ride from some locals to the train station and got there just in time to get a train to Penn Station...
We decided to chance it - and with 15 minutes to showtime, we took a cab to Broadway to see what show we could get in to...
And with just 3 minutes to spare we ended up at the Minskoff Theater to see The Lion King!!! AAAAAAAAAH!!! It was incredible. Amazing. I cried the entire first act. I think it was the combination adrenaline, being in NYC, and the beautiful production! WOW.
At intermission it really sunk in - we were looking right onto TIMES SQUARE!!!!
Afterward, we went into this little deli and had THE MOST AMAZING GYROS EVER. Mary was especially enamored of them ;)
And Lisa could *not* get enough of the street vendors selling purses. Yes. She bought all of these. Five dollars each. :)
And at the end of the night, I successfully hailed us a cab to go back to the train station!
It may have been just six hours on a Friday night in New York City, but I will never forget it!

Looks like you had a blast Jessie! That cab pic is totally cool!
What fun Jessie! Great pictures! :)
How fun!! I would love to go!! Great photos. I want to see more.
i can totally sense how much fun you had through your photos! so glad you were able to go into the city. :)
Love the pics. What kind of lenses are you packing these days. OK maybe it's not the most personal comment, but I'm on a kick like you said I would be...
jason, the best lens for the money is the 50mm f/1.8 lens. it's under $100 (i think i got mine for $79) and it really packs a good punch. great shots and excellent in low light. because you can stop it down to 1.8, you can get away with almost never using a flash... so your shots will come out really fantastic :)
