Our second day there, we woke up and headed to Brooklyn! Is it seriously beautiful there. The streets are right out of the movies. Or Sesame Street. :) We walked around a bit, enjoyed the view of Manhattan, ate at Grimaldi's - MY FAVORITE PIZZA EVER!!, got some ice cream and ate it while taking pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge. We then headed across the bridge back to Manhattan. Along the way, we came across a large group of Air Force Cuties, and we got a quick pic of Wendy with them. By the time we got back to the city, big clouds started rolling in and we were so mad because we both brought the CUTEST rainboots and were dying to wear them! But as quickly as the rain came it, it went out again. Oh well. We walked around South Street Seaport for a bit, and then headed back Uptown to Central Park and just wandered around.
Funny story about Central Park.....When we went to Central Park the day before, we got there from Barton's house, which is quite a ways north of the park. This day, we entered the park from the very south end at 59th Street. We made our way to The Mall, and grabbed a bench and people watched for a while. We then headed to Bethesda Fountain (which was under renovation AGAIN darnit!!) and took some pictures. We were in the park for about two hours when Wendy & I had this conversation....
Wendy noticed some people taking pictures in a tree. Very cute.
Wendy: I bet they have trees like that in Central Park.
Me: What did you say?
Wendy: I said I bet they have trees like that in Central Park.
Me: Where do you think we are??? We ARE in Central Park!!!
Me: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - laughing at Wendy
I could see the confusion on her face. She thought Central Park was more up near Barton's house, up off of 103rd Street. It's truly hard to imagine a park that big, but Central Park really is THAT BIG. Yes Wendy, same park. It was hilarious.
So, here are some pics from Day 2....
Uh, yea. They had these two gigantic anatomically correct sculptures in the Time Warner building. Wendy got a grab.
