A Dream Come True...

I have always dreamed of living in New York City for a summer - enjoying the park, the shopping and the sites but as a local not a tourist. All the pieces have come together and my dream has come true. Getting to share all of this with family and friends will make this an unforgettable summer...

Friday, Day 18

Up and ready early....bagels for breakfast and off to the Museum of Natural History for the day. What a wonderful place to spend the day...I would highly recommend this to everyone going to the city. I think my favorite rooms were the dinosaur exhibits....so interesting.. We left the museum about 3:30 and headed over to Central Park. I wanted to show Adam and Katelyn Strawberry Fields, which is the memorial set up across from the Dakota Apartment Building where John Lennon lived and subsequently was killed. Upon entering that area of the park a guy was playing John Lennon songs on his guitar and everyone was singing along. Then a guy came along with a bouquet of flowers and with a lot of flourish placed the flowers on the Imagine sign in the shape of a peace sign. He said that he has done that everyday for the last 9 years and on the anniversary of his death completely covers the Imagine sign. Beautiful!!
Dale and Molly came in to the city to hang out and after some wine at home we went over to the Firehouse Restaurant for dinner. We put Adam and Katelyn in a cab to see The Addams Family and we stayed and visited. We met them at the theatre when the show was over and since the bars were so crazy busy came home and hung out here. Molly and Dale spent the night instead of driving back to the island....great day!! til tomorrow:)
