We take the subway and it takes us to 5th & 53th, we make our way to the surface... we needed to get to 5th and 59th... so for 6 blocks we had to walk...
walk we did...
Walked down famous 5th avenue... you better believe it was as Ritzy as it should be... we walked past Tiffany's, Gucci, etc... very regal doorman at every entrance...
Here is our walk down 5th avenue...
There was so many churches like this... they were glorious... I never made it to St
Patrick's Cathedral which was one I so wanted to see... I have always been drawn to that church for some reason and I am not even Catholic... Google:
St. Patrick's cathedral New York and select Images at top and see what I am talking about...
Its breathtaking...
anyways here is one we saw...
Just some street shots.
Another gothic church.
LOL.. you can its 3:35pm.
All the people walking down 5th avenue...
Details like this everywhere...
The top of "The Plaza" a famous hotel in New York.
We ran out of time and never got to take a ride... but I took a picture of one.. lol
Now... we are officially at Central Park....
The famous rock you see in movies that so many stand on...
Yep, that's the famous skating rink..
Now it was time to visit the Central Park Zoo before it closed...
The very famous Penguins in numerous movies...
these guys were so fun to watch and were so verbal and active...
I could have watched them all day.
I think he was in timeout... he stood there forever like that... it was hilarious...
The underpass you go through to exit Central Park Zoo...
Time to explore the park a little more...
We decided to stop and just enjoy the views...
Cody took this one..
Cody still had the camera... ugh!
I got it back now.. lol
Resting our dogs... Notice the tennis shoes?? ON ME!!! Yea my first pair I have owed since I was 17...
I bought them because of the design on the side... but they rocked and were so comfy...
OK time to explore... OMG BALTO!!! Cody get up there!
Ok this is where we decided to travel into the park some... we only ever
conquered one side of the park... next time I will visit the west side...
The final pictures of Central Park... see if anything here looks familiar...
Bethesda Fountain - as you can see there was no water in it...
I was bummed. But it was glorious none the same. I couldn't believe I was there.
Every movie went through my head I had seen this in...
Numerous movies used this location...
Staircase just the other side of Bethesda Fountain and Terrace to Literary Walk
Famous Literary Walk
Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park
Very famous Literary Walk - How many movies has this been in... we sat here for about 30 minutes. The atmosphere is surreal... it was like heaven... a different world. I loved being there... watching the performers and people... beautiful and so serene. I could sit here all day and be completely happy. I was here... another dream fulfilled!!!
You should have seen our faces when we found it... was totally on accident... I was looking for Bethesda... and I saw the stairs and then looked to the left and my mouth fell open... I yelled at Cody and pointed and he said OMG!!!
He stayed and sat there when I went down to the fountain...
I also remember Maid in Manhattan... Enchanted... Definitely Maybe... White Castle.... August Rush... and so many more...
It's funny, because Where Literary Walk is... at the end of it is the staircase that walks down where Bethesda Fountain and Terrace is... you never would know that from the movies... but they are right next to each other which is amazing...
My only disappointment was we did not get to the other side of the park where the arch is... I wanted to go to the Art
Museum there and Tavern on the Green...
Just was not enough time to do everything... but that just means I need to go back.... lol...
its crazy looking at all these now... because now I am fully back in my regular living and its almost like I was never there... just a memory now... but the pictures bring back the feelings of being there... and
that's why pictures are so important to me... they keep it all alive...
We ended our day with a trip to the Empire State Building... not before we ate... we walked up a few streets and found a POP Burger... yea, probably THE most expensive burger joint I have ever been to. It was $30 for 2 burgers, fries and a couple of sodas... and they were not very good... lol
after we ate, we... I mean CODY hailed us a cab... and off to Empire State Building we went...
After a barrage of lines... few elevator rides, totaling about 2 hours, we make it to the top....
we walk outside and well, the view was... eh!?!?!?
That bright area to the right was Times Square.
WOW!!!! OMG!!!! This was amazing.... unreal... absolutely fantasmic!!!
Then we decided time to go home... it was late...and we had one more day to go....
can you believe there was a line to leave too??
lol...
we grabbed a cab, hit the path and home we were... vacation was definitely kicking out butts... we were tired....
ok... we are coming to a close...
stay tuned for the finale...
