I know what some of you might be thinking... when did you go to New York? Well, I was actually supposed to go on a cruise through Europe with my little sis and two sister-in-laws, but things didn't quite work out that way...
To make a really long and painful story short, I flew all the way to Spain and when I was checking in to board the ship they wouldn't let me on! I was too far along in my pregnancy for cruising rules and so I was turned away. Of course you won't find that information easily on their website, but it's a rule none the less. NO CRUISING PAST 22 WEEKS!!! How far along was I... 28! So I booked a flight home the next morning after being on a plane for 15 hours already and being up for over 24 hours. To make matters worse I went to a different hotel than the one originally planned on and my entire family thought I had been abducted or lost somewhere in Spain. Major drama, but I made it home safely and along the way got to spent a couple nights at my brother's house with his two little girls, a day in Time Square, and go to lunch with my cousin Gabby who's getting married in August and I unfortunately can't attend.
It was a complete nightmare, but what do you do? I made the best of it and at least I got to spend a week with the rest of my fam in Utah while the girls were cruising through Europe.
(Sigh)

I really wanted to see a show that day, but unfortunatelythere were no matinee's that day. They were the following day.
(Just my luck!)

I want to go there some day. I am sorry your trip didn't work out but I loved seeing you. I miss having you guys around.
You got some great pictures of NY!!! As bad as your trip turned out, you really were a trooper and made the best out of it.
Nat, I have never heard such a horrible story. That trip sounds like it a trip from hell almost. I am just glad you all made it home in one piece. I'm sure you'll have a chance to go back sometime in our life........haha
I heard about the little vacation mishap and wanted to cry for you! Such a bummer, but it sounds like you were a good sport. Hope you are feeling good!
That's Horrible Nat! I would have been sobbing the whole plane ride home. I am sorry!
