I Love NY Day 2

New York Day Two

The next day we went around the city. We visited Radio Music Hall, Broadway, Rockefeller Center, etc... I thought it a bit cheesy that the police would be standing around taking pictures and posing with tourists. I mean, can you really see LAPD doing that?

And what's NY without Spiderman?
Now of course my trip would not be complete without going on a subway. While Michael was less than thrilled that I called attention to our tourist status by snapping pictures. He thought we were going to get mugged or something, but we came away unfazed.

This is Mike and I on the subway. He made me take the picture quickly

We went to Central Park on Mother's Day which was absolutely beautiful. Michael and I stopped off for a hot dog, and then I made him lie down and enjoy Central Park for a moment and look up at the trees. Again, less than thrilled to be having these photographic moments. It was very cool there. Lots of performers, and interesting people, it is absolutely HUGE too.

Rowing anyone?

We went to Strawberry Fields, and watched as people paid tribute to John Lennon. As you can see there are flowers strewn in the shape of a peace symbol.

I had many firsts in NY, but one of my favorites was going to a Broadway Show. We saw Grey Gardens - a musical comedy, but based on a true story of Jackie Kennedy Onasis's essentric Aunt and Cousin who lived in squalor in a 28 room mansion called Grey Garden with 52 cats, raccoons, etc. The department of health condemned the building stating it was "unfit" for living. This was a musical version of their stories. Whoever thought that after this show I would be walking around singing "Jerry loves my corn..."

This is us at the Broadway show...of course I snuck a picture.

We walked around a lot, and had a great time. Michael even ventured so far as to DRIVE in NY city. I have a few pictures of that. I also have some video, but the file size is too large to send through email, and Josh has my Treo box with my cords in it. Blame Josh! I will try and get them back and then load them.

I know, I am ALWAYS snapping pictures, so I wasn't surprised when I got this reaction
Now he is used to me taking pictures, while he is driving. We're having a good time when....
Michael turns into a New Yorker. Yelling, screaming, cursing and of course honking the horn

My reaction to Mike's driving.
