We ate pizza.
We hung out with 2 very awesome people, Sarah and Shaun. I met Sarah when I lived in NYC previously, she was a bridesmaid in my wedding-and despite that we haven't seen each other for two years and we aren't very good at keeping in touch-we picked everything right back up. It was wonderful to see her and meet her fiance Shaun. Who is fan-tas-tic! He's a great man. Henry loooooves his "Uncle Shaun"!
We hung out in Central Park where Henry had a ball at the giant playground. He was thrilled they had a little step up to the drinking fountain so he could do it himself.
As Joe mentioned, we had Shake Shack. Yum.
We admired the amazing views out of Shaun's apartment windows!
We showed Henry Times Square. He just kept laughing and laughing. It was pretty cute.
We checked out the TR building.
We avoided the giant screen with the series finale of Lost on it. We had plans to watch it the next evening at Shaun's.
We were in awe of the fog one morning that was so thick it made it appear the Empire State Building was missing!
(that's Shaun's apartment building in the background)
We played at another park.
Henry got a giant "Cookie Monster" cupcake at a deli/bakery near our new home.
Mommy relaxed a bit while DaDa and Henry went to a little park at Shaun's apartment complex. They are down there, I promise. :)
The next day we went to the real park at Shaun's apartment complex. It rocked.
(post chin incident. an italian ice makes all things better!)
And...we played at another park! We wanted to make sure Henry had fun too and wasn't just being toted from apartment to apartment in the hunt. This is the park where he busted open his chin.
Everyday I saw the Flat Iron Building, and everyday I would marvel. Such a wonderful building!
And in case anyone is interested, here are pictures of one more apartment. This is the one we saw the same day at the inside of the one we chose...its the very large, and very pink, apartment.
This was the view when you first walked into the apartment, you are in the dining room with the living room to the right. You can see some of the pink carpet, and the current tenants had put down an area rug in the living room.
This little room was at the other end of the living room, it's basically what Henry's room will be in the place we chose.
Living room and dining room. Pink.
The kitchen. It was just a teeny bit bigger than the one in our apartment, but its darker and not quite as nice.
Pink bathroom. Pink walls. Pink sink. Pink tub. Pink potty.
The larger of the two bedrooms. We weren't 100% certain our lovely king sized bed would fit,but it might have.
The smaller bedroom.
One HUGE benefit about this one over the one we chose was closet space. It even had a pantry off the kitchen that was big enough for linens and food.
Here is the outside, it was a very nice building.
The space would have been nice, it's basically like the one we chose, but with 2 extra rooms and closets. But I know we chose correctly with the smaller place. I'm so excited to call it home and have been decorating it in my mind since we signed the paperwork!! I just wish I would have taken more pictures of it so I could remember all the details. The current tenant was inside the apartment when we viewed it, so I didn't want to get any pictures with her in them knowing we'd put them up here. In hindsight, I could have easily blurred out her face. All well! It will be like a little surprise when we arrive in about 20 days!!
