We went to FAO Schwarz toy store. Here is my reenactment of the scene in Big. They make you take your shoes off and the key board is really slippery.
Star Wars characters made completely out of Legos.
We also happened to be there over Valentine's Day. We decided to have a little time in the morning to ourselves. He found a great little bakery that had amazing croissants (my favorite food in NYC) and then we went to Washington Square Park (my favorite place in NYC) to eat them.
He used the opportunity to propose. This is not how it was done.
He told me how much he loved me and then just stopped. I asked him if there was something else we wanted to say. He became distracted by the camera case he was carrying. He finally got he ring box out and opened it while he asked if I would marry him. When we opened the ring box it was empty. We both were looking down at the box and I could tell this was a surprise to him too. Then we heard this high pitched "ping." The ring had fallen out. Gabi was on his hands and knees in a flash looking for it. He said "I hope this isn't a sign." The ring had a very small mark on it. He said we would get it buffed out but I told him I didn't want him to. Now there is not pressure on me since it would have happened at some point. It totally fits us. We are getting married June 27th in the Denver Temple.
We celebrated over Shirley Temples at Dinner. It was nice having our sisters and the Weavers there to celebrate with us.
It was pretty cold there so we didn't take a ton of pictures. We eat a lot and shopped. It was a great trip.
I am glad that Gabi shares my love for New York City. I am sure we will have many more fun trips there over the years.
