My friend Lisa invited Shelby and me to join her and her 3 daughters in NYC to celebrate Chinese New Year. I had never been before and decided it sounded great. I LOVED IT!!!! I can't believe this goes on every year and I have missed it. We stayed at the Off SoHo suites (cool European style hotel) and spent a few hours each day walking around experiencing the celebration. What follows are a few of the photographs I got of my experience. I can't wait for next year! 
I guess the next two weeks will be busy for this company, we saw lots of red dragons in Chinatown for the New Year.
One of the main things you go to see are the dragon dancers all through out Chinatown. You can hear the music from blocks away and see the crowds far earlier than you see the dragons but then all of a sudden you see them. The way the dancers move their dragons though the streets is magical. I love the dragon dancers
All throughout the streets you can find these confetti poppers for sale. $2, $5 all the way up to $24. Confetti is flying everywhere. It is so cool, I just love a good celebration.
....All that is left is a street full of confetti. God bless the NY Sanitation workers!
I went with Kyle and three of his friends to the Museum of Natural History one day during their winter break. I love that they would be into the idea of spending the day with me in the city. We had a lot of fun walking around checking out the exhibits. Of course the dinosaurs ruled the day. What is it about seeing the bones of these gigantic reptiles that brings out the kid in all of us? We spent a lot of time going through the various exhibits, my favorite was the butterfly pavillion and then headed out. What better way to end the day than a visit to Sependipity? We all found something to satisfy our chocolate cravings. I am so glad that I could spend the day with the four of them.
