New York ~ Day 3

Saturday, was cold and wet, the entire day. I didn't mind tho, after all, I was in a beautifully, Christmas decorated New York, it's supposed to be cold, and at 4 o'clock the snow flurries came. You had to squint through the rain to see it, but they were falling. Ahhh, good times!
I took about a gazillon pics of us like this in various places

Today we had breakfast in a quaint eatery, while watching 3 skiddish, street vendors, peddling their knock off designer purses. They were constantly looking over their shoulders and at each other. They worked that area for about 8 minutes, then they tied up their sheet filled with handbags and dollied off in 3 different directions. 
Love those hair colors!

Had to wait several minutes in line to get this picture

This was the 3rd time I saw this panda around town

Had never seen a Bumper Badger before 
~ and they need it in this city!



We took The Holland Tunnel Subway across into Hoboken, New Jersey to meet The Cake Boss (TLChannel). That was exciting! I brought Paul and the kids some cookies home the following day.



Finally, we made it into the tiny, over packed bakery!

Yep, me and the Cake Boss. I love you so much, I even 
showed you my triple chin in this pic!




Back in Manhattan we walked the remainder of the day in a vast sea of umbrellas and ancy taxi's.
We stood in a double wrapped line for 15 min.(long time in the cold)
to get into this store ~ but it was worth it..right Paula?!

The Big Piano ~ Fun, man i miss my kids!

At the American Girl Store

And for an outrageous price, a long line, you could get 
your dollie a new do. : )

New York ~ Day 2

Friday we did 3 big things. It doesn't seem like alot, but a great deal of time was spent just getting from place to place via the subway and a few taxi rides. Eh hum (clearing throat) this was also the day we forgot we were in NYC and slept until 10:45am ~ GOOD GRIEF, sleep at home!! We made a mad dash to see The Statue of Liberty (amazing).




We went back to the hotel to change for a fancy dinner at Tavern on the Green (beautiful and delicious).






This is a picture of the desert menu, it is titled, SATISFACTION!



Next, we hopped in a taxi to rush off to a broadway show.


My mom surprised me and dropped a bucket of money so the 2 of us could see a show. We saw The Lion King ~ spectacular! Thanks again Mom, I love you! 



Then we relaxed and people watched in Times Square. You completely lost track of time with all the bright lights from the jumbotrons on every building. It was pretty neat seeing the New Year's Eve Ball It was a fast, fun day.
