Warning: PIC-HEAVY POST AHEAD!
Chris was more of a mess leaving the kids behind than I was!
He was teary eyed the first 24 hours of our trip ... total proof of what an amazing dad he is.
For starters, I'm a new fan of Jet Blue.
We had great flights both going and returning.
Loved watching DirecTV while on the plane.
Are you ready for our location in Manhattan?
40 Central Park South!
As in, my friend's apartment is literally ACROSS from Central Park!
It was insane.
I could totally get used to having a doorman! Ha!
Sunday morning we headed out early for Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
That afternoon I met Chris' uncle Matt for the first time along with his wife Jing and 5 year old daughter Cynthia.
We had the *most amazing* lunch in Chinatown.
Little Cynthia was a doll ... it was fun traipsing around with her.
LOVE Pearl River Market!
Some Chinatown pics:
Monday we shopped.
H&M.
Steve & Barry's.
Lush.
And lots of designer "window shopping".
Desperately hungry, we had lunch at Friday's.
Nothing spectacular ... but made fun with the enormous margarita's Patrick & I drank.
That night ... it was Yankee time! Took the subway up to The Bronx.
We met up with Uncle Jim & Barbara.
Tuesday, Chris & I slept in.
We strolled through Central Park on the way to The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
We ate lunch at the Petrie Court Cafe.
It was delish.
I ate the most fabulous dessert I have EVER had ... a key lime ice cream sandwich with a Meyer Lemon & Carmel Torte.
We also took the skyline in from the Roof Garden Cafe atop The Met.
We drank $12 vodka cranberries.
It was one of my favorite moments of our trip.
We ended the day with dinner with Matt at Mickey Mantle's Restaurant and a horse drawn carriage ride around Central Park.
$50 bucks for a twenty minute ride!
I figured it's one of those lifetime experiences that make it worthwhile!
Chris' opinion? Not so much! Heh.
Wednesday, we paid a visit to Engine 23.
Chris swapped fire department shirts and patches.
And just for fun.
Some snapshots ...
Hello Kitty [on Park Avenue, i think.]
My friend Jan's breakfast nook:
Well, that's it folks.
I already developed about 125 prints.
Let the scrapbooking begin!
