Hi everyone!
Sorry to be MIA but boy is this bug kicking my butt. I did get back into mild workouts last Thursday. I've been doing one or two body parts and a couple of miles on the treadmill. I have lost so much strength and my cardio is terrible.....grrrrr.
Lisa---we drove to NYC and stayed at the Empire Hotel, its on the UWS across the street from the Lincoln Center. We managed to get A LOT done in a few days. Some of the things we saw & did were the Lion King, Rockettes, ESB, Central Park & a carriage ride, MOMA, Brooklyn..had to go get the picture of the ESB in the bridge. LOL We saw the Christmas lights & windows on Fifth Ave and did some shopping, great deals!! The tree in Rockefeller Ctr was up but not lit, but we had lunch there & watched the skaters. Checked out The Palace Hotel and The Plaza. Went to the Grammy Museum, they had a Taylor Swift exhibit.
There was a festival in the "park" in front of our hotel. It really helped to get me into the Christmas spirit.
I'm hoping we can make NYC our destination over Thanksgiving vacation a few more times. We thought it was going to be super busy because of Thanksgiving but there were no crowds at all until Monday.
When we got there, the Trumps were still in FL, but you could definitely tell when they got home! LOL I was surprised that most of the people we talked to weren't upset by all the extra security and blocked roads. I was REALLY surprised that the police were all decked out & had what looked like assault rifles??? Even at the MOMA?? Not sure if that's normal or because of Trump??
Do you take the train into the city? Abby thinks that would be so cool to try. LOL Do you have favorite restaurants, stores, places or do you find new things every time you go?
K---That is not a good way to end your vacation!!! (((((Kiran))))) Was it good otherwise? What all did you get to do?
Kathy---Is the traffic always bad? Is your commute long?
Saundra---another race??? You amaze me!!! ^5 How did you like the Army/Navy game? How is your Dad doing?
Shelley---how are you doing??? What's going on with your parents? Are you snowed in??
Jann---are you all ready for Christmas? It's got to be so much fun with the little ones.
We managed to get about 18 inches of snow over the weekend.......boohoo! We had another small system come through yesterday afternoon so another 3 inches and the forecast is calling for another 6-12" starting tonight and going through tomorrow. So much for a nice easy winter!!
