NYC-Day 2

Jeremy and Sarah decided that one of the best things about taking a "vacation" without kids is the sleep.  There wasn't anyone there to:  get up in the middle of the night, cry in the middle of the night, crawl in bed with you in the middle of the night, squish you over to the edge of the king-sized bed, breathe in your face, get up early...  One of the best night's of sleep in recent memory.

We grabbed breakfast from across the street and then used the subway (which is a little different than our D.C. Metro--our Metro train itself is bigger and the stations are gigantic, in comparison).

We started the day off at the northern most part of Central Park:

Then, we visited the Guggenheim Museum:

Then, we visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Above and Below:  An Egyptian tomb with the Museum's large wall of glass windows

Above:  one of the many "period rooms", this is Frank Lloyd Wright's design



Sarah was fascinated with the "Open Storage Room" where everything was hung/displayed in tight quarters with walls of glass enclosing everything...highly efficient!

We wandered back to Central Park, crossing over to the other side and moving south:



Just over two blocks, we visited the outside of the Manhattan LDS Temple:

After all of this, we headed for Times Square.  We found out that there is a ticket sales place that sells tickets 1/2 off for that day's show.  Sign us up!  We viewed "Catch Me If You Can."  (Yes, just like the movie based off the true story of the con-artist.  Yes, it was very good.  Yes, it should win some of the awards it'll probably win.)

We had dinner and walked back to the hotel, exhausted but thrilled to have accomplished so much and grateful for such wonderful weather!
