When we woke up in the morning, everyone was pretty tired from the travel the night before so we decided just to take it easy and walk to Times Square. Just walking in New York City is a vacation in itself. I mean my 4 days there, we didn't even make a dent on the city. Thats just Manhattan alone too! As we walked to Times Square, we passed by Herald Square and stopped by Macys. That store is HUGE!! What I found cool about that place is that they still had some of the old escalators from back in the day. Just imagine the number of people that has stepped foot on that thing. Just crazy! I didn't find anything to buy there until I came across the HUGE sunglasses section!! Everyone knows that I'm a sunglasses freak so when I walked into that section, I was in heaven! I ended up buying a pair of Lacoste sunglasses for $125 which would've cost $300 here in Toronto easily! After Macys we walked to Times Square, took some pics and stopped by the Quiksilver store, Toys R Us and the M&M store.
We realized we were already on 50th street so at the spur of the moment decided to walk to Central Park. This place is SO nice! At this point in the trip, I started to miss Alysia because (and this may sound so cheezy) Central Park is one of the most romantic places I have ever been to. We all tried to take a horse carrige ride but they would only fit 4 people so Clecia and Darryl decided to go and Jim and Adaiah stayed back with me. While we waited for them, we walked around the park and just chilled out. It was one of the best times of the vacation just being there. Although we stopped by this old merry go round that was playing some creepy song, it was still nice.
Once Darryl and Clecia met us back at the park, we decided to walk to The American Museum Of Natural History. I've always wanted to visit this place and again, this place was HUGE, basically we spent about 3 hours in there. Towards the end we got really tired and went on a mission to look for "DUMB DUMB", The Easter Island Head from the movie Night At The Museum. After that we took the 1 train back to the apartment.
A funny moment happened when we went down the subway, Darryl and I saw the line up for the tickets and basically GASPED and looked at each other and started laughing. The place looked PACKED but really it was just the line. It's a good thing Adaiah stood in line ahead of time, otherwise we would've been there longer.
So that was Friday in NYC. At night I made plans with my cousins to meet them at a bar. I haven't seen them in 16 years and this night alone needs a post of it's own. Once I get the pics, I will post up what happened that night. Lets just say I didn't eat dinner. I drank it! LOL!
