Memorial Day Weekend


What didn't we do? That's an easier question to answer. We must've walked 5 miles yesterday, all over the city, just having fun hanging out with each other. And sweating. Sweating was a major part of what we did yesterday. It was H.O.T. in N.Y.C.

How, oh how, does one walk in these? I have some pretty ridiculous heels, but nothing compared to this - Museum of Sex



Finally used our Groupon and toured the Museum of Sex



HEAD! MOVE! NOW! It's like Sputnik! Ginormous 43 foot tall head statue in Madison Square Park



The Flatiron Building



No idea what this building is, but it reminded us of Back to the Future



People watching an afternoon away



Taiwan Fest - in Union Square Park



Union Square Park, middle of the park

Ubiquitous Pose, Colicchio and Sons! Burgers for everyone!

What happens in Atlantic City, stays in Atlantic City


A birthday trip with Blondie in mid-May to AC. We love to gamble, and it's scary that we have a major gambling site less than 2 hours away from us. We managed to tamp down on our love of giving the casinos our money and made it out onto the boardwalk for a few hours that Saturday.

Butt Squeeze!



Long view of the boardwalk



The Atlantic Ocean



Greetings! We love you too AC!

Hanging with Mr Pooh, UWS style


A walk through Central Park, and then over to the bar to have some beers. Because everyone was feeling better this day. In all seriousness, I had a TOTAL BLAST hanging with Mr Pooh and am so happy that he took a week off to come hang out with us!

The Park



Too many beers, too many choices on the jukebox, a fantastic week with Mr Pooh



Searching for JT at Southern Hospitality. Hey, they have sweetened ice tea!

Hanging with Mr Pooh, Yankees style


There is no better way to torture the one who is Blonde than by dragging him to a Yankees game. A die-hard Mets fan (for realz ballz), it's always a blast to see the dread on his face when the awful Y-word is mentioned.

BUT, Mr Pooh came to visit and he likes to watch baseball and the Mets were an away game. So what is one to do? Torture Blondie is the answer.

The view from our awesome seats! Too bad the guys were too hungover to imbibe in some frosties with me



Blondie trying to not to puke. And not because he was hungover. But because it was the Yankees



Yankee Stadium! Because it still thrills me that we live in NYC

Hanging with Mr Pooh, Wall Street Style


A very cool person came to visit me and Blondie at the beginning of May - the reason for the trip was a half marathon in PA, but we still managed to do our fair share of sight-seeing around the island.

As part of our touristy stuff, we headed down to Wall Street to see various items of interest. For instance:

Smithsonian Institute, NYC branch



Woman pressed against giant testicles of bull on Wall Street. And the side of Mr Pooh's face



Trinity Church - from "National Treasure"



And last but not least, New York Stock Exchange
