For Christmas this year, we got the girls tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway. We were a little nervous about buying Broadway tickets since the theaters have intermittently shutdown because of COVID over the last year. But we figured we’d give it a go and fortunately there were no issues. We headed up on a very cold mid-January weekend. We decided to make a weekend of it and booked a hotel right off of Times Square.

She show did not disappoint. Even though we have all seen it about a dozen times on Disney+ with the original cast, it was still so good and different with new actors.

After the show, we walked around Times Square and had a sushi dinner. It’s the first time we’ve all been out in a restaurant in over a year, and it was a little weird, but also great.

The next day we had a lazy morning in the hotel and then hit the Guggenheim before heading back home. It was our first weekend away in a long time and it was really great. As I write this it seems as if the pandemic (or at least the initial, very long phase of it), is winding down and we’re finally able to move around a little more freely. I’m cautiously optimistic that things will continue to move in a positive direction.
