Thanksgiving Trip to NYC!!!

Okay, I know I said I was going to start blogging more and that that I was really working hard to make this a priority... I'm not going to say that this time. I'm just going to blog. I think that in the past I have never wanted to write on my blog without having pictures to post. I felt like I had to have something visually appealing to post too. Since the onset of several dear friends telling me to blog I have now realized that I should just create new posts with or without pics so that my loved ones can hear what's been going on in my life.
So, with that in mind: It's black Friday and I just spent the day shopping in New York City. Well shopping might denote buying which would be a misnomer. I actually was checking out tons of stores and hanging with the fam. I am here staying at my Uncle's (Chris) fabulous apartment with my sister-Courtney, mom-Jan, and grandmother "mom"- Barb. We all flew in yesterday morning to enjoy thanksgiving together in the city! We saw the last part of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade (where we also Lance Bass and his man of the month--I actually walked right with/next to him trying to get to a good viewing spot), before I ran into one of my best friends Rachel M. who is spending thanksgiving with her friends from new jersey. It was awesome running into people in the city; it really makes you feel like your not a tourist when that happens. We then had thanksgiving dinner at a great Thai restaurant called "yum yum". After which I went for a run, got a little lost in central park, and then we spent the rest of the night hanging out around the condo.
Today, we started off heading uptown to see Christmas windows, the first 24 hour apple store (which is this awesome clear cube), and had lunch at John's pizza. After lunch, my Uncle, Sister and I headed downtown. We went through Chinatown hit up little Italy, and then hit tons of stores! One of my favorite places was Unico... not sure about that spelling.
Okay, So I just spent half an hour on Google trying to find this store. I found an article talking about its opening a couple months ago. Here's what it said:
"The fabric of modern Japan is being woven into the streets of New York! With the autumn opening of UNIQLO's highly anticipated new global flagship store, SoHo will finally get to experience the contemporary Japanese style that has long been missing from this hot, international fashion mecca. UNIQLO is Japan's most popular apparel retailer and a worldwide leader in casual wear. The brand's mission is to empower all individuals through the clothing they choose to wear. Rather than become characterized by a brand, UNIQLO encourages its customers to integrate its pieces into their own unique style."
yeah... it was awesome! And my favorite part might have been how beautifully organized it was, you all know how OCD I am. I was like Lindsay Lohan in vodka shop... work that one out. Long story short I'm going back on Sunday to get some goods. Alright kids, well i need to hit they hay cause tomorrow is Cirque du Solei! Until next time, thanks for your continued support friends. Oh, and Clapp: It was great having you out in the BF. Hope your trip back was good!
