Day 15 Tuesday

Said goodbye to my sister Jo this morning. She had to go to work up in Albany, but she'll be back next week. We let Amanday sleep, while Nicole and I went for a run in the park. Pretty hot and humid, but there are a lot of drinking fountains in the park....the water here is great, and cold.....On the way home we stopped at the corner deli and picked up bagels....yum!! Got all cleaned up then headed to the verizon store to see if they could fix my phone that i had dropped the night before....30 seconds...done..off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge...Well you know the old saying, "When it rains, it pours" wow....the train was delayed upon arriving at the City Hall stop, which was unusual....as we left the train we noticed everyone looking up the stairs as if something was going on....oh there was....the rain was coming down in sheets.....Nicole and I had umbrellas, but not Amanda.........but of course there was a very smart man at the top of the stairs selling them for $5....great purchase...Well silly us we thought that would be enough....not quite........the driving rain immediately soaked us and we ended up in a Starbucks. We sat there for a bit and decided to stake our chance to get a cab...not an easy task in NYC in the rain...but we scored a cab and took it to Macy's. Where else do you go in Manhattan on a rainy day?
Molly, our good friend, who is also my nephew's girlfriend came in from the Island, so she met us in Macy's too.
Then off to the apartment in order to get ready for the show. We saw "Promises, Promises" at the Broadway Theatre, with Sean Hayes and Kristen Chenoweth, and it was fantastic...what a fun play...I would and did recommend it. We even waited outside the stage door for the stars and got a glimpse and some pics....We hung out in Times Square for a bit and then took the #1 train uptown for a vanilla cone with chocolate sprinkles. Funny, we stayed up to watch Letterman because Kristen was on....it was taped in the afternoon, but when she came out after the play she had on the same outfit...sort of cool....she is probably one of our favorite stars..off to bed...late again..til tomorrow :)
