A Day In New York

When we got off the ferry Spiderman was there to greet us. It really is a very creative way to ask for money. The first time we saw this was in Paris in front of Notre Dame.

The park had some cool things in it. These musical squares were really fun.

We all joined in.

Then we had to get more expensive ice cream to have in the park. This guy had a very heavy New York accent-it is so fun to listen to. I wonder if he is saying the same thing about us?

 

   

 

As we walked through the park there were people playing all kinds of music-it was so fun!!

My Love was in New York in February for work. He was such a wonderful tour guide to have in the city. He took us to the most AMAZING Chinese restaurant every!!!

I want to go back just to go there again!

                          Joe’s Shanghai Restaurant

 

The tables were traditional round tables with a revolving center platform so you could share all of your food and not have to pass it down to anyone-you just spin it.

 

Okay these are the best things on Earth-SOUP DUMPLINGS!!!

There is soup in the dumpling and it is AMAZING!!! My only regret is that we only went there once in three days. Dan Mullins was right we should have been there for every meal. He and Jared found this place when they were there together in February. There is always a line out the door to this place. So forever in my heart I will remember Canal Station, walk up to Mott take a right, take a left on Pell and on the right there is Joe’s. Like all amazing places it looks like a total dive and you can barely see through the from window because it is so coated with stuff. We even saw two waiters fighting in the back. One of them was our waiter and is in the first picture of us sitting at the table.  Fists and words were flying! Maria was in love with one of the college kids that were sat at our table. One of the guy was very cute. Maria was sad we didn’t take a picture of him. When we left they asked to have our left over food and ate it. Funny! College students just don’t care!!

 

Before we left Esher fell asleep so my wonderful love carried him all the way back to the subway. He held him while Paris, Tristan ,and Maria shopped. It was hot and that boy is getting so heavy!

We went back to our room to relax. About midnight Jared really wanted some street food. So he went out and found two places. One with a very long line

and one without a line but an incredible smell. He came back and had us all do a taste test. I liked the one with the line better than the one without and he liked the other. It was so much fun just staying up late,eating and talking!!!

I love my husband!!!

The kids were so cute and put themselves in the closet to watch a movie on the video player. Maria braided their hair so they would have wavy hair the next day.
