Today my sister, brother, brother-in-law and I drove into the city, actually found parking (for $30.00) stood in line to get the “cheap” show tickets, then explored until showtime. We wandered through Bryant park, watching people play boche ball in their business shirt sleeves, play chess, eat their lunch and read their newspapers in the beautiful spring air. We stopped in a fabric shop that had thousands of different buttons and trims, which my sister just about swooned over, in the fashion district, then on to Grand Central Station and beyond that to the Chrysler Building. All fun things to do, and we made it back to the show, “Young Frankenstine” with 45 minutes to spare! The show was funny, we had good seats, we were entertained while sitting down. You can’t beat that! After a quick dinner we drove back to NJ in Wednesday afternoon rush hour; I sat in the back of the car and didn’t watch the car/truck/bus in front of us. It was better that way.
Tomorrow we are going to “The Jersey Shore.” The ocean will seem quiet after the din of the past three days.

You sure are taking a lot in on your trip. New York seems an interesting place, best explored with a local or experienced tourist.
I haven’t forgot about customizing your blog header. It is on my list.

Well, it may seem odd, but I’m the “experienced tourist” on this trip, as my sister hadn’t ventured into the city much. But she’s experienced now, and I think will be back in the city a lot now that we’ve explored all the modes of transportation! 🙂

Beth, when I heard you and Carl were at Times Square, I wished to be with you! Wanted Carl to tell me all about the trip when he returned and he suggested I read your blog. NEXT time, I am going to tag a long. Becky (Lake Harding)
