A New York City Birthday! | New York City, New York | Atlanta Photographer

NEW YORK CITY

celebrating Payton's 10th birthday
I shared a few highlights on Instagram earlier this week and
thought it would be fun to share more in a blog post! 
I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our weekend celebrating
our daughter's 10th birthday
with JUST her parents.

Yes, left her brothers at home with their Papaw.

Our weekend highlights are geared towards a certain ten year old
but if you've ever been to NYC, you know there is so MUCH MORE to see! ;)

Oh and these are a mix of iphone 8 plus and my Nikon D700 images. 
Why?? Because I'm a mom/parent just like most of you and well, a phone is sometimes just easier!

Friday

Up Bright & Early on a Delta flight to meet the traveling husband. 
Payton was a rock star at getting up at 4:30am.

Empire State Building
First stop was food and the Empire State Building!
We got special treatment thanks to a friend that works for Qatar Airways.
A fabulous view from their offices on the 78th floor. 
Pretty amazing!!
It was super windy that day and apparently you can feel it when you're that high up.

Dylan's Candy Bar & Serendipity 3
Dinner at Dylan's Candy Bar was SUPER fun!
We ate in a cupcake booth and enjoyed all the yummy candy selections. 
We opted to spread the love in the area of sugar by getting dessert at Serendipity 3. 
Showing my age but LOVE the movie Serendipity with Kate Bekinsale and John Cusake.  
You must try the frozen hot chocolate!

Saturday

How in the world do we have a 10 year?!?!
Our Little Lucky Charm is officially TEN!

Shopping & Aladdin
We checked out all the shops including the amazing Disney Store in Time Square.
Birthday girl requested true New York style pizza so we ate Joe's Pizza.

After walking off our food, we headed to see Aladdin.
AMAZING!!!
It was well done, funny, hilarious, and hands down worth every single penny!

The View Restaurant & Lounge 
We checked out the The View in our hotel. 
The restaurant rotates so you have a great view of NYC.

Super fun!
We enjoyed some cocktails and a kiddie- cocktail for the birthday girl!

Birthday Dinner
Payton requested to dress up for her birthday dinner so we surprised her with a new dress!
She loved it! {whew!!!}
We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House. 
Our steak loving girl {all our kiddos are} enjoyed her meal along with some yummy dessert! 
On the way we walked by The Tonight Show and Radio City Music Hall.

Sunday
On our last day we ventured over to Central Park for breakfast and being outside!
However, it was the NYC half marathon and pretty cold. Whoops. 
We made it through the crowds and the sun {and coffee/hot chocolate} warmed us up!

Madison Avenue and {window} Shopping
Our shop-loving girl wanted to see the "fancy" shops so we showed her!
And honestly, I hadn't seen them either in NYC. 
It was a nice change of pace from Time Square and found a
cute little french shop, Laduree on the way. Payton loves macaroons.

We walked our way back and stopped to see The Today Show!
It was closed for the day but it's something we watch everyday so it was cool to see!
Much smaller than you think.

Ended our time in NYC with a pretzel!
What a great weekend spending time with our oldest. 
Hard to believe she made us parents 10 YEARS AGO! How lucky are we??

Hope you enjoyed a more personal blog post today.  Always fun to share a little glimpse into our lives with you.  Know that I'm so honored to take photos of your family. Such special memories that you'll have for years to come.
