20th Anniversary Celebration at New York

It is a big blessing when you get to marry to your college sweetheart.

Due to my mom's support and great trust in my choices, I can be here with my love doing amazing things together.

 

It feels like we just got married and here we celebrated our 20th Anniversary!!

We really wanted to do something special for this milestone!

 

We decided to go and stay in New York City with lots of different activities planned.

 

This was a first trip without kids after 10 years :)

Our neighbor took Jai for skiing for that weekend and Ram was busy with his work, studies, swimming practice and college applications so worked out really well for us.

 

We got up late on Saturday and headed to NYC for authentic Chinese dumpling lunch in China town. Food was mind blowing and on the way got to do some shopping too!




After that we headed to checkin for hotel and got ready for our photoshoot appointment.

Photographer was really talented, he took some great shots. Especially it was funny to take pictures on road with lot of traffic 😃







After that wondered around Christmas special shops.

Next stop was Vessel, which was on my list from long long time. Décor was great and very festive.





Then we headed to the dinner show we booked.

Three course meal and the acrobatic show in small setting was perfect.

Performers were flawless!


It was time to hit the dance floor called 'Desi Saturdays', what a fun it was!






It was a memorable Anniversary Eve!!

 

We slept around 2pm. Got up late. 

It was time to explore Amsterdam avenue and pick up our beautiful custom cake from a French Bakery.


Corner flower shops with Christmas tree were making the atmosphere very festive!





We got la framboise (raspberry jelly, Pistachio mousse with pistachio macaron base decorated with white chocolate and fresh raspberries), very very yummy!








We ate brunch at Saravana Bhavan and cut the cake too. South India Food is always dear to our heart!

 

It was time to take nap to get ready for eventful evening!

 

After nap, got hair done and did foot massage….

 

Got ready and met our photographer for another shoot. We booked tickets for Vanderbilt and do the ring ceremony.

Shri got a special ring for me :)

 

There were great views from the top, they have done a great job developing this newest attraction of New York.






It was time to eat and drink….We went to an igloo restaurant along water with bright skyline view. After a relaxing drink, we decided to go for another drink in downtown…the restaurant/bar was amazing with great music and crowd.







We ended our day by doing couple massage at a spa (11pm in the night)

 

Monday we checked out, went to SOHO for another 3D photo appointment. The cobbled stone area was first introduced by Ram couple years back when he wanted to buy something and the only shop was in this area :)






It was time to go home…on the way stopped at Greenwich Thai restaurant for lunch. It was satisfying to eat hot soup and spicy noodles in cold weather.

 

It was a delightful trip!! 


When we came home Jai told me he made his own lunch and took to school! Very proud of my boys!!
