Sunday In NYC

I have just returned from a fabulous visit with my sister in NJ. On Sunday we took the Park-N-Ride into the Port Authority and spent a glorious day walking through midtown. Here are some of the sites we took in.

Grand Central Terminal and the fantastic market inside.

Skaters on The Pond in Bryant Park

Just around the corner, Patience and Fortitude

The tree at Rockefeller Center (though it was looking like it was very much ready to come down!)

Many wonderful shops like The Met Store, Kate's Paperie, and the granddaddy of them all, Tiffany and Co..

Time Warner Center where we ventured into a few Shops at Columbus Circle and ate at the Whole Foods Market.

We walked everywhere, enjoyed the sunshine and each other's company, and had an altogether fantastic day.

Did I mention I bought a book while on this little trek? Surprised, aren't you?! Of course, it was for William. (He DOES have a birthday coming up, you know!) I am a big fan of Barefoot Books, so I purchased The Barefoot Book of Pirates, a compilation of pirate stories from around the world with an accompanying CD. I could have done so much more, but no one wants to carry THAT many shopping bags on the streets of NYC.

It's been so long since I went into the city, I was surprised how much has changed, particularly Times Square. I am just busting to get to Darwin at the American Museum of Natural History before it leaves in August. Perhaps I'll get back sooner than I think!
