New York with Kelli

On Saturday, December 6th Eric and I were able to meet Kelli in NY city. Unfortunately Laura had a basketball tournament so she could not come. (We will have to go to the city later, Laura). Eric and I arrived in the city about 10am. We went down to Union Square to do a little window shopping. After about an hour we made our way back to Rockefeller center to meet up with Kelli. Her bus arrived around 12:30. After visiting the tree and taking pictures, we made our way to Ellen's Stardust Diner for lunch. This diner has your typical diner food, but the wait staff sings and dances for you. It was a lot of fun. After lunch we walked over to 5th Ave. and up to the Central Park Zoo. It wasn't a huge zoo, but it was nice to visit. After the zoo we walked through the park to the Tavern on the Green. It is a beautiful restaurant that is covered in lights, but It was still light out so the lights weren't lit yet. After a nice walk we made our way to the subway to head back down to Time Square. We arrived in TIme Square around 3:30. We went to our typical bathroom spot in the Marriott Hotel and relaxed for a little before heading back out in the cold. Of course we had to stop and get Jamba Juice and visit the Hershey store. Around 4:30 we made out way over to the Gershwin theater, where my Aunt Marybeth was working. She is the Production stage manager. We were able to go in and see the theater. Then we made our way to another diner where we met up with Uncle Gregg and my cousin Gregory. It was nice to visit with them for a little while. After a quick visit and snack we were off to drop Kelli off at her bus. Then Eric and I made our way back to the train station. It was a great visit to the city.

You know, I lived up there for 2 years and NEVER went to the zoo!

So, it looks like there's a random strange boy who wanted to be in the picture with you and Kelli. That must have been weird. :-P

Haha, The boys was Kelli's friend / ex-boyfriend.
