Watch It, The Yellow Ones Don't Stop.....

Anyone remember in Elf when he went to NYC? Well, that's where Jason and I went this past weekend. We had so much fun. I honestly have never walked so much in my life. I would have loved to have a pedometer on me to see exactly how many miles we walked.

We left the house at 5:30 and filled up in Jersey before heading in. Most of you don't know this but in Jersey it's illegal to pump your own gas. Weird.....Ok, moving on. We got into the city around 8:30 and headed for Central Park. We started off at the Heckscher Playground, which was really cool and then continued up to the Jaqueline Kennedy Onasis Reservoir which is near the top of Central Park. We stopped for lunch on the Great Lawn around 12:00 and decided to walk down town and see some of the sites. It took us around 1 hour to get down to the tip of Central Park. We began our tour of the city at the Apple (Mac) store. Which is the coolest store ever. Since that's my next computer we've spent a few minutes goofing around on it. Then off to FAO Swartz to get my picture taken with the guard. Then we walked past the Trump tower and headed toward St Patrick Cathedral. We stopped at a few cathedrals along the way and they were all amazing. Then we headed to Grand Central Station. Keep in mind we have already walked 10 blocks just city blocks. Not counting Central Park. After St Patricks it was on to Grand Central Station (another 11 blocks). Then off to the Chrysler Building. We forgot that these buildings are huge so when we got their taking a photo of the building was nearly impossible. So we headed over toward Times Square and stopped at the NY Public Library (seen in Day after Tomorrow, 4 blocks) We sat their and watched a few old men playing boce ball. Then off to Times Square (2 blocks). Times Square was so cool but we had to keep walking because by that time it was getting close to check out time at the garage. But, we stopped at the COOLEST diner ever Stardust Diner and had lunch/dinner. The wait staffers sing and perform while you eat. They all had amazing voices. We both wanted to stay longer but knew we had to get going. Then we walked another 16 blocks back to our car. I cannot wait to go back in July when my family is in town.
