167 Bainbridge in Brooklyn was home for seven days!
The best meal was at Puerto Rican restaurant called Sazon. As you can see - our mouths are full. Thanks, Mark....Great time to take a picture!
Me and Alma outside FAO Schwartz waiting on Mark and Stephen to come back from the Apple store next door.
While in Brooklyn, the A train became our home away from home - away from home...
Taking the tour bus....
We look like tourists!
Ummmm.... It was a little windy the day we toured the Statue of Liberty.....
We had a BLAST in New York! Thanks Stephen for being our fearless leader during the trip! We stayed at a Brownstone in Brooklyn. It was roomy and the neighborhood was nice. At first the subways were SCARY, but everyone was surprisingly nice and helpful. Even some of the scariest looking guys were ready help if you so much as pulled out your subway map. We saw La Cage Aux Folles, The Jersey Boys, and The Lion King. Wicked was sold out, but we look forward to catching it in San Antonio. We saw Alexis Bledel getting off the subway in Brooklyn and Harry Connick Jr. getting out of his concert. He is pretty dreamy in person. :) We took the train to Coney Island and the rest of the gang had Nathan's famous hot dogs. (I had a chicken sandwich.) Anna danced on the Boardwalk - but she won't let me post the video! :D I haggled my way to a purse I wanted in China Town and had a great Gellato in Little Italy. We toured the Statue of Liberty.....man! getting tired again just listing all the things we did! Did I mention all the WALKING there is to do in New York. That has to be why we don't see any fat New Yorkers... They WALK EVERYWHERE! Up and Down the Stairs! It was fun - but exhausting... We plan to take Nikki in the Spring....A Train - here we come!
