Sweeney Todd

Had the yummiest Acai bowls from Hawa for breakfast. I think we may have to have them everytime now.

In the morning we headed to Central Park for family pictures. Emi was really cute for the first bit and then started to freeze and was done.

Then we went to The Met. I was hoping to go there this trip so I was glad we got to go. I enjoyed just looking around and seeing some beautiful art. Below are some of my favorites!

I love Monet's work.

Degas's sculpture of a ballerina. 

Marty said this one looked like the Rosen girls working hard. hahah.

Marty with the Christmas Tree.

Emi in "Vertigo of Color" appreciating Manet.

I love the look of these steps up to the entrance of The Met.

Then we went to Serendipity. It's the cutest place and I love eating all the desserts and the nachos.

Aren't these menus ginormous?!

Our table. Not pictured: Dan & Angela and Bob & Rhonda at the other table.

The star.

Afterwards we headed to ice skating in Central Park at Wollman Rink. (Dan took Emi back to the apartment so we didn't even have to worry about her.) You can never go wrong with ice skating! 


In the evening, grandma and grandpa stayed back with Emi so we could go see Sweeney Todd. I wanted to see the show because it sounded intriguing and I'd heard about it before. However, I was nervous that it would be a bit morbid--you know with all the human meat pies and things. Well I ended up really enjoying it! Yes, it was dark. But also funny.

I was hoping Josh Groban would sing "You Raise Me Up" as an encore but no such luck. Instead he auctioned off a broken rolling pin from the show for Broadway Cares. Someone bid $1,200 for it. What?!



And then we took an obligatory stop at Krispy Kreme. Did I eat down 3 donuts in minutes? Yep! And then we went to a pizza place. And then back to the apartment.

Marty asked me the other month what my dream date would be. I said a Broadway show and dinner. Tonight my dream date became a reality.

We went to the breakfast buffet at the Fairmont in the morning. My favorite part is loading my plate with all the yummy fruit they have. (Papaya and Hawaii just go together.) Emi loves clenching her fists and making a funny, strained face. haha. We took a walk down to the beach before heading to Twin Falls. It was pouring rain when we got out of the car at the start of the hike, and I wondered what the rest of the hike was going to look like, but it ended clearing up at just the right times. I love how Emi has curls in Hawaii. On our way back we stopped at some food trucks and came back to relax before dinner time. For dinner we went to Nick's Fish House. This place is special to Marty and I because it's where we got engaged (and their Macadamia Nut brownies are top notch which adds to the special-ness). In the evening we went back to our hotel room and watched an episode of "The Floor" before heading to bed.

Last day in Paris

We scheduled a tour for St. Chapelle, Conciergerie, and the outside of the Notre Dame for this morning. I mostly just wanted to see St. Chapelle, but because we've been so busy seeing other things, when I went to get tickets on their website they were sold out. Luckily I found a tour through "Get Your Guide" that we could do that would take us through the chapel this morning. Marty and I arrived for our tour this morning and started making our way to St. Chapelle as a tour group when we found out that the employees of St. Chapelle were on strike so nobody would be seeing St. Chapelle for the day. It was a bummer, but strikes are very common in Paris. Really we just lucked out getting to experience an important part of their culture ;) With our tour canceled, we made our way to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. The basilica reminded me a lot of the pretty churches in Jerusalem. The one thing Marty and I found odd was that there were signs all over inside the chapel asking guests

Marty! Lizzie!

Emi and I went to Chuze in the morning and then went to the park after with friends! Ronny, Jules, Evi, Isla, and Emi (of course!). We tried out a new park, Spearwood, and the kids liked it. Emi and I stayed a bit longer after everyone left and she made a new friend. It was this cute Chinese boy whose name sounded kind of like "Ethan." Anyway, his mom was doing the sort of thing all moms do at the park--cheering on their child as they try to climb up a ladder or try something new--but in Chinese. She was doing this, and then the most interesting thing happened. Emi started imitating what the mom was saying. It was so cute! Even though there was a language barrier between the mom and I, she could also tell what Emi was trying to do. It's amazing what the brain can do--especially children's brains. They are like little sponges! Anyway, I just thought that was really cool. On another note... Emi's started calling Marty and I by our first names half of the time. Today
