Again, if you’ve been following along these last few days, then you are aware that the Libby and I recently attended the Crayola Pop Art Pixie VIP* Weekend in NYC.  If you’re new to all of this craziness, feel free to catch up HERE, HERE and HERE!

So, back to our NYC Adventure!

After enjoying lunch and some sweets at The Magnolia Bakery, our next stop was one we had been hoping for!

Rockefeller Plaza!

The minute the Libby and I stepped off the bus, we made our way over to the ticket booth to purchases passes to the Top of the Rock.

From there, we made our way down 50th Street to the red carpet and began our journey to the top of Rockefeller Center.

The Top of the Rock is truly an AMAZING site!

We took A LOT of pictures!

Have a look!

***She was to scared to open her eyes because it was REALLY high and REALLY windy!***

Once we were done looking out over the city, we made our way back down and decided to walk through Rockefeller Plaza and take a few pictures of the infamous skating rink and the tree that was in the process of being decorated.

Once we were done strolling around Rockefeller Plaza we made our way back to our group, boarded the bus and were on our way to our next stop!

Yes, there is more to come!!

Stay tuned for more!!!

And remember, there will be an AWESOME CRAYOLA GIVEAWAY at the end!!!

If you’ve been following along these last few days, then you are aware that the Libby and I recently attended the Crayola Pop Art Pixie VIP* Weekend in NYC.  If not, no need to worry, you can catch up HERE and HERE.

There. Now that you’re all caught up, I will let you know all about our NYC Adventure!

On Saturday, we started our day with breakfast

and a quick craft

These are the new Pop Art Pixie’s Glass Pendants that Maya inspired.  We had a lot of fun making them, and it wasn’t until the Libby and I were both done that we realized we did the same design and colored them the same!

Once our morning craft was complete, we mad our way down to the lobby to await our ride.

It was DEFINITELY worth waiting for!

And not only was the outside all decked out, but the inside was too!

It had loud music, blinking and flashing lights, comfy seats, TV’s and was AWESOME!

Plus, it was loaded with snacks and beverages!

Once we all boarded the bus and got comfortable, we made our way to our first stop……

Central Park!

It was GORGEOUS!

Upon entering the park, we saw the bird house wind chimes the girls had crafted the night before hanging from a tree.

Yes, that one with the circle around it, that belongs to the Libby.

The next surprise Crayola had in store for us was a horse and buggy ride through the park!

Once our journey through Central Park was complete, we were off to our next stop for something sweet!

We then arrived at Magnolia Bakery for Tatum’s Tea Party.

Once we were done at the bakery, we returned to the bus and made our way to our next destination…….

More on that on Friday!

Where to begin is the question!
This past Friday, the Libby and I both boarded a plane for the first time.
Our destination – New York via a transfer in Detroit.
Why – a Crayola NYC VIP* Weekend (*Very Important Pixie)
Where – The W hotel in Times Square

I guess I should begin with what it was like flying for the first time.
We both LOVED it!
Flying was absolutely AMAZING!

I am also pleased to report that we successfully navigated both Detroit Metro Airport and LaGuardia Airport.

Thank you!
I am mighty impressed as well.

Once we landed in New York and made our way down to the baggage claim area, we were able to locate the group of moms and daughters who were sharing in this amazing weekend with us.
(At this point, I could barely hear because my ears were all screwed up from the flight.)
From the airport, we climbed into the van with 2 other moms ( @YourFunFamily and @MIsaacMom ) and their daughters.

Upon arrival at the hotel, we received awesome Pop Art Pixies TShirts, bags, VIP* tags and a Pop At Pixies Passport!

Here is a close up of our Pop Art Pixie Avatars

After we had all of our goodies, we were off to our room on the 53rd floor of The W Times Square.

We were AMAZED when we entered the room.

And the view was unreal!

Once we got over the initial shock of being in NYC and a quick phone call home we were off to get ready for the VIP* Premiere Party!
But…more on that tomorrow!
Until then, I leave you with this…….
