We started at the Summitt. Been wanting to check this place out. The views are breathtaking. Its very modern and there have a great café on the 64 floor. It was fun to see Bryant Park and the ice-skaters from up above.

Next we walked over to Bryant Park where we sat and drank hot chocolate, admired the tree, and ice skated. After that, we got some treats and hung out at the Lodge. Then she hit the shops!

It not a trip to Times Square if we don't stop in the Hershey store. They had great Christmas candies to choose from.

While we did not see a show this year we walked by Radio City to see the candy canes and red Christmas ornaments. They are so pretty.
