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...

Thursday Day 24

Yea I am caught up.....Jo and I got up this morning and went for a walk around the resevoir in the park....came right home to get ready for our day....So excited because today we are going to the Met......The Metropolitan Museum of Art...We headed up to Central Park West to get a cab....didn't think we wanted to walk that far and then be on our feet all day...There were no cabs to be had....we tried and tried and tried....then we tried the bus but I needed to refill my metro card...so no bus...we finally gave up and decided to walk..which wasn't too bad because it was a beautiful morning...cool lovely breeze..maybe 75...fabulous. We started the museum with the gift shop where a bought a watch that few people will have....great!! We then started the viewing...Picasso, Renoir, American Women, Tutankhamun's Funeral, The New American Wing....unbelievable exhibits....we had a great time.....Waldorf salad for lunch......It was all perfect..Then we decided that since we were in the neighborhood that we would check out Bloomingdale's for sales.....needless to say we spent the rest of the afternoon there....only bought a shirt...actually we bought the same one...which really never happens...but they are cute..a wild cab ride back home....or not home to the wine store....and then home... waiting for friend Debbie to come back to the city from the island...she called and is stuck on the LIE in Queens.....going to dinner with her soon...if we don't drink too much pinot..:) til tomorrow..:)
