The Adventure Continues…

Our tour guide on this last trip had tons of stories to tell..personal stories about family and friends…about 9/11. Some were very graphic and I’ll spare you the details. However, they were very moving and gripping.He took this picture of us…cheese! 🙂

We got to see Harlem and the Apollo Theatre.

The Guggenheim. I wish we would have had more time to see it.

This is the apartment building Jackie O’Nassis lived and died.

This ornate window shows which apartment was hers.

We got off the bus at Central Park on the upper east side. We got directions (so we thought) from the tour guide so we could have lunch at Serendipity…I’d heard wonderful things about that restaurant and wanted to try their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate.

We walked about 10 blocks out of the way to walk 10 blocks back to pretty much where we started before we found it.

Note to self: Ask more than one person for directions.

We got there and the wait was an hour and we had wasted so much time finding the place we didn’t have enough time. We ended up eating at a restaurant on the corner. It was actually really good. They had a yummy creme’ brule’ and realized it was right across the street from Dylan’s Candy Bar that’s we’ve seen on Food Network several times! 🙂

We had to hurry back to the hotel and made it just in time for our late check out at 4:30. We ran up to our room threw everything in our suitcases and met our ‘complimentary’ Mercedes Town Car out front! 🙂 It was worth being stuck in the elevator for an hour to not have to worry about how we were going to get back to the airport…and doing it ‘style’ was even better!!! 😀

It was a very nice ride. 😛

Our adventure of course didn’t stop there. We went to check in for our flight and the computer popped up and said our flight has been delayed 3 HOURS!!! UGH!

Things that went through our minds:

1) Next time, check your flight before you leave the hotel.
2) 3 hours….we totally would have had time to eat at Serendipity…and do a few more things we wanted to do.
3)What in the world are we going to do for 3 hrs. at the airport?? Sit and wait.. that’s all you can do.
4) Didn’t we say we were never going to fly a red-eye again????

Thankfully Jared is a computer-savvy guy and he had some movies and TV shows on his computer and Zen for us to watch to help pass the time. In a way, it was nice to just sit and visit without rushing off to our next destination.

New York was an amazing way to spend our anniversary. We hadn’t ever done anything like this before. Making time for each other is so important. I feel like we are newlyweds again! Our goal is to not wait another 13 years! 😀
