My daughter asked if we could go down to the city Sunday.
Why not.
We didn't have a plan, it was a beautiful day, we figured we'd see what was going on.
 |
Grand Central. I never really looked at it when I was working here. I'd just rush in and out each day!
I was a stressed out maniac! |
 |
The ceiling and architecture are beautiful. I don't think I ever paid attention.
All I ever looked at was the train schedule to see if my train was on time! |
 |
| We headed toward Fifth Ave. and this is what we found, the Columbus Day Parade was beginning. |
 |
| These women were amazing. They were playing their instruments and dancing the whole time-all the way up 5th! |
 |
| Isn't he cute? |
 |
| The parade was so festive, bright colors and music filled the streets! |
 |
| I don't know how they did it, they danced all afternoon and it was hot! |
 |
| Brooks Brothers on Madison. |
 |
| The Helmsley on Madison. Last Winter we saw a bride being photographed at night among the twinkling lights. |
 |
| Trump Plaza |
 |
| This young man took us around Central park. He had a little cart attached to his bike. |
 |
| We felt sorry for the horses, so we didn't take a ride. Really, they were trudging along and looked depressed. |
 |
Since it was John Lennon's birthday, a group was performing Beatles songs in the
park in front of the Dakota. I couldn't get a photo-too many people gathered
around. It was fun, everyone was singing along with the group,
'A Little Help From My Friends". |
 |
| Rockefeller Center. |
 |
| Soon the rink will be filled with skaters and the tree will be up. |
 |
| We decided since we were right here, we should go to The Top Of The Rock and get a few photos. |
Ok, now we're getting tired. Time to head down for dinner and then home.
 |
| Obviously, Radio City! |
 |
| Saint Patricks Cathedral. |
Whew! Now it's time to hop on the train home!
I can't believe I did the commute everyday when I was young!!!!
I admit, there are days when I really miss my job and the city life.
But, when I hear the trains horn blow at 7am, I roll over in my warm bed
and am happy I'm not standing on that cold platform!
Hope you enjoyed the little trip!
Have a great day!
