Happy 20th anniversary to us!

We went to the city to celebrate our anniversary.  We took the train in and then an Uber to start the day at a Christmas market.  NYC is insane during the holidays, but there are a few things that are worth the crowds.  I needed a snack and a sign for gluten-free empanadas caught my eye.  I've missed out on several empanada occasions over the last couple of years, so I was excited for my chance.  It was amazing.  Like so amazing that we spent the rest of the evening debating whether we should go back and get more.


We tried to find the same hot cocoa as the circus night one, but it was a different market, with different choices.  This one, however, had toasted marshmallows on top and some cinnamon mixed in.  New York knows how to do their hot cocoa, that's for sure.


Then we went to a fancy bar and got fun cocktails and pretended that we were somebodies in NYC...like this was just our normal Wednesday evening and of course we're meeting after work for a drink.


We really went to the city for our first Michelin star restaurant experience.  It did not disappoint.  Perfect table, atmosphere, food and company.  I tried to soak up every moment.



This was definitely on our list of "never would we have thought"...never would these two Kansas kids think they would be celebrating 20 years in NYC, but also so thankful to be here.
