soon after her arrival on saturday morning we took off to times square to purchase the important 7 day park hopper walt disney world pass she will need for her upcoming family trip to the happiest place on the east coast of america. the disney store must be one of the happiest places in times square. probably tied with mcdonald's.
one of the things on our weekend to do list was see a show. we weren't sure which show. but knew we wanted to enjoy a show. soon found our way to the line at TKTS. we chatted with a friendly couple from denver who were enjoying the city after 30 years. after the discounted shows were illuminated on the info board clare and i decided to see "catch me if you can." hadn't really heard anything about the show but knew the leads were fantastic singers and more importantly very good looking. i have my priorities. picked up the tickets and headed for dinner.
our friend MC met us at famous dave's for a ton of BBQ food and chit chat. when i say a ton of food i'm really not embellishing all that much.
the show was great. the dancing was energetic. the singers were fabulous except at parts when the orchestra drowned them out. set design was minimalistic and classic. costumes were 1960s & 70s classic especially when the male lead was shirtless. all in all it was a fun show and didn't drag on like the movie did. thank goodness.
once we arrived at home i decided to take an allergy night pill because of all the crazy wind kicking up bloomage. my allergies weren't happy. went to sleep by midnight with my black out curtain drawn across my windows. i slept for 11 hours. seriously slept through the night with no random waking up for 11 hours. i don't know that i've ever done that before. it was fantastic!
sunday morning MC came over and ended up making clare and i breakfast. it was so good! we hung out for a bit and then headed out. clare and i ventured to the american museum of natural history. a place i had never been but always wanted to go. it was so much fun! we went close to closing so the kiddies were gone and enjoyed a relatively crowd free dinosaur wing. this is also the point where i took my camera out for some snap shots.
jumping for joy at being back in the desert
wouldn't want this guy charging towards me
after our time with the natural history we went to shake shack on the west side for some din din and then walked our way across the park with a stop at the belvedere castle. it was a gorgeous early spring sunday evening.
found this field of wild daffodils
once we got home it was all about lounging on my most awesome couch and watching episodes of friday night lights. we watched 3 episodes but had the will power and determination to stop once the clock struck 10:30pm with 2 episodes left because we wanted to get some sleep for work the next day.
such a great weekend to be out and about in the city and end with a three episode marathon of friday night lights after wandering through central park. now only four short weeks until i head to connecticut to enjoy a facial, tanning, possible trip to the aquarium, eating at chain restaurants, hair trimmed, etc.
