Ah, Central Park - a place I've always wanted to visit! It was a GREAT pleasure and I am glad we spent most of the morning walking through it. This photo was taken without any special filter - A La Natural baby!!
I thought it was amazing how all of these buildings were looking onto this beautiful park!
Not sure how, but I MADE IT!!!
Taylor enjoyed it too!!
A photographers DREAM place!!
Walking in the park with the one I love!
Not sure it gets any better than this!!
Walked inside the Guggenheim just to take a peek at such amazing architecture!
Frank Lloyd Wright, you did good!!
We'll be back for the tour one of these days!!
The outside isn't too bad either. It was made to resemble the peeling of an apple.
By now we were pretty worn out from walking through the park and over to the museum. We jumped on the 'Hop on Hop Off' bus again and hopped off at 'The Plaza' where Home Alone 2 was filmed - a beautiful hotel!
I looked across the street and there was the FAO Schwartz store!!!! YOWZA!!! Move out of the way kids!!!
BIG highlight for me!!! The BIG piano! It was soooo much fun and I didn't do half bad!
As we were walking down 5th Avenue, we stumbled upon this beautiful church, finished being built in 1879! I said, "Let's go inside!" I am so glad we did!! It was St. Patrick's Cathedral!! So impressive and a great break in our day!
Taylor made use of the holy water.
Dick wanted to get a drink at Rockefeller Plaza - the G.E. Building - Top of the Rock but unfortunately, they do not offer that anymore. We settled on the view, which was awesome!
Nice view of the Empire State Building and the Hudson River on the right.
We had to take a taxi ride to dinner! Our trip would not be complete without it!
It wasn't as bad as we heard it could be! We arrived safely and in time!
When Dick was in NYC with his parents in 1967 they went to Sardi's and Dick had very fond memories of this place and wanted Taylor and I to share in the experience. It is a very nice restaurant, we enjoyed the food, the view of all of the caricatures and had a wonderful evening.
One more Tiramisu!
Across the street was our destination for the evening - The Minskoff Theatre - to see Lion King!! Wow!! What a show!! Taylor saw it twice in SF but Dick and I hadn't. It was SPECTACULAR!! We really enjoyed it more than we thought we would! It was extra special to me because my kids watched it over and over as children. A few times, I had to bring out the tissue, just because of the feeling of amazement, I was in NY watching a broadway show, that had so much meaning in my children's youth. God is so good!
