Central Park
Got up bright and early this morning, had coffee, pancakes and headed into the city. Found a parking spot on the street (yay) and started walking up towards Central Park. Stopped by FAO Schwarz on our way and caught a little “show” on the piano (from the movie Big) before we continued towards the park.
Before walking in to Central Park you get asked about 15 times if you want to go on a horse and carriage ride around the park. I have never done this and never will. I feel really really bad for the horses standing around Manhattan breathing in all the exhaust from the million cars driving around and therefore just can’t support it.
We walked around for awhile, stopped and watched the ice skaters and then decided to find a place to have a quick lunch. Walked over, very excited, to the Swedish Church which has a little café. Got there and of course they are closed on Saturdays, bummer. Still in the mood for Swedish food we turned around and started walking towards another Swedish restaurant a few blocks away. It was definitely not my lucky day since that restaurant doesn’t exist anymore. Very disappointed (at least I was) we walked back to the car and drove home.
Tonight Grandma is turning 79 and we are celebrating with Thai food and cake :)
