NYC Adventures (& Beech-Nut Giveaway Winner!)

We are wrapping up an extended long weekend spread across NYC-Metro! Friday we arrived and stayed in Queens with family then spent a bit of time in Manhattan before packing up for a couple nights in Jersey City. It's been great to see so many people in such a short time as always. We really do pack a lot in every time we're here, but it's always worth it!

A quick snippet:

I heard FAO Schwartz is closing so I had to!

Enjoyed a bit of Dance Parade 2015 with Uncle Van

Family dinner at (new to us) Porta in Jersey City

Post-late night hotel pool shenanigans (and Nia got into some too!)

Our friends at Milk & Cookies treated Nia to her first pedicure - full review to come! 

And now to share the winner of my flash Beech-Nut giveaway:

Congrats Manda!  

If you didn't win this giveaway don't worry - there's another fun one on the way. Here's a hint!



P.S. I'm still in shock that heading to New Orleans on Saturday! I'll probably just have time for dinner that night then brunch the following day before boarding my cruise. Any suggestions for a first-timer in New Orleans with limited time?
