Like all Thursdays I was off today, this week though Mike was also off and we spent the day in the city. Before we left I packed up my new hot bag, that my dear friend Christina got me yesterday, with water, a camera and some snacks.
Decided to take an early train, 8.30am, and have breakfast in the city before we headed over to MoMa, our destination for the day. Got a coffee and a bagel at a street vendor and sat down on the steps looking over Time Square. The sun was shining and it was already hot outside. Hung out there for a while looking at all sorts of people and around 10 we started walking uptown. The line outside the museum was wrapped around the block and I felt really bad for the people standing there in the heat. We had purchased tickets ahead of time and could therefore walk straight inside. Grabbed a map and went up to the third floor and the Tim Burton exhibit. Walked around for a good hour in there cramped with 1000 other curious tourists looking at all the cool art Tim Burton has made. There was a second exhibit on the top floor that was all about the human body. This was probably the most interesting part of the museum and I was extremely shocked to see a bunch of naked models standing in the different rooms. Of course you were not allowed to take pictures or video in there which is understandable.
We spent another 3 hours looking through 5 floors of paintings and sculpture before we decided that we had seen enough art and were hungry for lunch.

After so many hours inside we wanted to have lunch in the beautiful weather and therefore grabbed some sandwiches at a deli and walked in to Central Park. Found a bench in the shade and sat down to enjoy our lunch. On our way back to Penn Station we walked in to the Plaza Hotel to see what it looks like inside. We also stopped at the Swedish Church and a few stores where I got a scarf and a summer dress. Once on the train Mike realized that he had thrown out my ticked and had to buy me a new one, smart.

Went to TGIF for dinner with two friends and now we are both happy to be sitting down resting our feet.

I have learned two things today. I’m not much of an art person and Converse are NOT comfortable shoes to walk in all day.
