On Saturday we toook a nice stroll through Central park, (after our train took a little detour to Harlem...eek!) that park is ginormous!! We walked by the waterfall, turtle pond, Belvedere Castle, Shakespeare Garden, the Boathouse and
the famous fountain from 'Enchanted' , 'Home Alone 2', etc. We spent a couple of hours walking through the park and I loved it! We even passed by a wedding ceremony, right off of a jogging trail, no thank you. After our fabulous walk in the park we went over to Penn Station where we got some lunch, then we went to Macy's-the world's largest department store! We sauntered through the first floor looking at ties and expensive jewelry, we then made our way up to the shoe department and then to housewares. Of course we rode up and down on the wooden escalators, simple joys!
We were going to ride the Staten Ferry, but the subway had changed some of their routes and we ended up in Brooklyn! We got off the train there and waited over half an hour for a train to take us back. By then we were pretty exhausted so we went back to the hotel to relax before we went to dinner. We weren't sure what we were going to
do for dinner so we just walked around until we found a nice place that wasn't too pricey. We ended up going to a cute little Italian restaurant called
Caffe Cielo, apparently Oprah ate there and enjoyed it so we thought we would give it a shot. They did not disappoint, it was really good! After we ate dinner we walked around for awhile and ended up Rockefeller Center, where we sat down by the fountain and just took it all in! It was wonde
rful! On Sunday we went to a singles ward in Union Square. It was not your typical church building, it was in levels, like everything else in NYC. It was kind of different. After church we grabbed some sandwiches and headed to the bus stop and made our way back home. Visiting NYC was a blast, but it definitely made me appreciate living in DC SO much more! DC is a lot cleaner and not nearly as crowded. I absolutely love living here!! Jenny got me a
birthday cupcake from Magnolia Bakery. It was so great! All in all, my birthday weekend was everything I hoped for...and then some!! Thanks to everyone who helped to make it special!! I love you all!!!
