New York Trip--May 2010

Mark said "I need to get away for the week-end + a few extra days"..
I packed and was ready to go:)

I was humming the Alecias Keys "New York New York song the whole way..It didn't matter that we were stuck on the tarmac for 2 extra hours!!!!

Our Hotel was the Helmsley Park Place over looking Central Park!!!

be.yond. georgous...

statues everywhere

luv this shot inside the park

another shot of our Hotel

It was sunny and nice the whole time.......

except for when it was cloudy......

One of the bldgs. caught fire...had to take a picture of NYC firemen

I liked her hair..so I grabbed a shot.

inside our hotel..beautiful flowers

more flowers

another view of our Hotel..

sidewalk art is the best

This is where Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Barbara Striesand and other famous people live..

(not that I care)

We not only took a carriage ride through the Park but we got in the carriage where the guy bikes you around town..That was a lot of pumping, carrying us around.

This is "MOMA" or the Museum of modern art...
In all the times we have traveled to New York, we hadn't been to this museum..It was definitely r-rated...The top floor said warning: live nude models
curiosity killed the cat remember? well we peeked... I won't say what we saw because this blog is rated "G"...But truly and seriously is that really considered art?

after exiting as quickly as our eyes would allow us to...we went to the other 5 floors...We did take a few pictures of decent modern art.

groups of kids being taught about the art

"eye" was looking at this one for a minute

this one is quite famous.....

famous Andy Warhol art

I took this picture of one of the many sayings through out the museum...

this shot was taken thru the window on one of the floors

over looking the outside of the museum

Mark was in love with this car....

I'm an antiques kind of girl...But I can appreciate other peoples taste.

end of the museum tour!!!!!

on our bike ride through the Park, we were told to go the boatman and have lunch..They were closed, by the time we got there.

another day we must have counted 3 or 4 weddings going on at the same time,

at the park....

so serene....I think I'll make cards out of this photo

every bridge in the Park is different....There are over 800 acres in the park. The same person who built the Hyde Park in London was asked to do this park.

everyone was in white...we couldn't figure out what the occasion was.

Our trip was a quick one, but we had fun..the food was fab.u.ous. the hotel was classy and comfortable....But what we enjoyed the most was the broadway show we saw.

Everyone has told us to go see it..It has always been sold out. we got seats smack in the middle on the 3rd row...

The play is about Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons:

I grew up listening to their music:

Earth Angel

Oh what a Night

Who wears short Shorts

Sherry

Big Girls don't Cry

My boyfriends back

My eyes adored you

Dawn

Walk like a man

Let's hang on to what we got

Can't take my eyes off you

Working my way back to you

Rag doll

The musical was great....but it did have some ruff language..

(I have warned you)
