Sunday Night in the Big Apple

After we rested up we headed out to the comedy show. As you can see the guys were excited for another night out on the town.

We ended up having to stop and ask New York's finest for directions to the theater.
Which allowed for another photo opportunity!They got us headed in the right direction.
And we arrived on time for the show.
The cast of this show was so funny but . . . . .especially this guy . . . he was a RIOT! After the show Brenda wanted to head back to Milos for a late dinner.
We had another incredible meal there and then we called it a night. We had to wakeup early to head back to the airport. Hopefully we will make it home on Monday!

Our Adventure Heading To The Airport

About halfway to the airport Brenda received a phone call . . . a phone call stating that our flight had been CANCELLED! Not the words you want to hear when you are halfway to Laguardia and you are packed and ready to head home. We got to the airport and the guys worked on the flight situation. Things didn't look good. They had cancelled a bunch of flights due to weather. They told us that there were no more flights that day and also that Monday was completely booked. We couldn't believe it. So, Carlos started calling Delta to see if we could get on with them instead of American. While the guys worked on the flights Brenda and I headed to the food court so we could look at my computer at hotel availability. The airport was packed with people with cancelled flights. It wasn't a pretty sight. Thankfully we were able to get flights for Monday morning through Delta. We then decided to head back to the city for another night of fun.

We arrived at the Westin Hotel. The rooms were great and also had amazing views.Brenda and I then went to look for tickets to a play or show. On the way we passed the Booth Theater.
Also, the theater where the Chorus Line is performed.

We ended up getting tickets to a comedy show so we headed back to the hotel to rest for a little bit.

Sunday in the Big Apple

Sunday morning we got up early and headed to church. Every time we visit New York we always go to Time Square Church right in the heart of Time Square. It's an amazing theater and it's absolutely gorgeous. My camera never takes good pictures in there because of the lighting.

David Wilkerson bought the theater years ago when New York real estate was down. They now have packed services that are filled with white, black, Asian and Latin's all worshiping God together. It's a beautiful sight.
When Brenda use to live in New York City this is where she attended church.
My camera does not do this place justice. If you ever are in New York City on a Sunday morning visit Time Square Church. Their services begin at 10:00 am.
After church we took a taxi over to SOHO so we could grab some lunch. On the way we drove by Madison Square Garden.

There is an Italian restaurant we had lunch at last summer that was great so we decided to eat there again. Plus, the guys loved it because there was a HUGE big screen TV and they were able to watch the Yankee game. As you can see from this picture Carlos was very happy.
After lunch we left the guys watching the game and we hit the streets of SOHO looking for some great deals. As you can see from this picture . . . I am very happy! :-)
SOHO is such a great area. They have so many fun little boutiques.
Brenda picked up some real cute things at this store called Mango.

After shopping we went back and got the guys and then headed back to the hotel to get ready to leave for the airport. Before leaving for the airport we stopped back at SAJU for some dessert and coffee.
We had a great weekend but were sad to see the time had come to an end.The weather was perfect all weekend! We really couldn't have asked for a better time! Thanks John and Brenda for asking us to go with you guys!

Project 365 - Day 160

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

The hotel we are staying at has a "desires" desk instead of a concierege desk.

Saturday in NYC - Part 2

On the way back to the hotel we stopped by the store so Brenda could pick up some false eye lashes. I have never tried them so decided to try them for tonight since we were dressing up for dinner and the show. She also showed me the kit she uses to do her own nails. I have NEVER had fake nails but decided since my nails looked so horrible from working with the horse everyday I would give it a try. Brenda came to my room and did my nails.
She did a GREAT job!
Then she applied the false eyelashes. It was fun spend an hour or so playing "dressup" :-) Thanks B for all the help!
We had 5:30 reservations at a Greek restaurant called Milos. Carlos and John tried to get us a cab but after waiting a while we finally decided to walk.We arrived at Milos's almost on time.
We had dinner here last summer too. It's so good . . . the service and the food was just amazing.

It was a treat to be able to go there again. Thanks John and Brenda for dinner.
It was fun getting all dressed up and being able to eat at such a lovely restaurant.
During dinner John received a phone call from the box office of the Broadway show we had tickets for. They told him the show was cancelled due to an illness of one of the actors. That sent us scrambling to the Marriott Marquis where we had one hour to find another show. We ended up getting tickets to another show. All in all it was a wonderful night! Thanks guys for making the trip magical!

Saturday in NYC - Part 1

This morning we met John and Brenda in the lobby around 9:30 am. We went to breakfast at this adorable Mediterraean breakfast place called Saju.

After breakfast the guys headed to another Yankee's/Red's game. Brenda and I headed out to shop for the day. We took the subway uptown first.Our first stop was the Bare Escentuals Boutique.Pam helped us once we were inside. She filled us in on all the new goodies and gave each of us two generous samples of eye colors. I ended up with Oz and Winter White and Brenda got Bare Skin and Vanilla Sugar. We then went to this cute little boutique called Diabless. All their clothes are from France. Brenda ended up getting a really cool outfit. I wish I would have taken a picture.
We then headed down to Soho via the subway. We stopped for lunch at Dean and Deluca. We had the most incredible chicken salad and an aritchoke and tomato salad. Brenda then surprised us with these bluebarry tarts. Oh my goodness they were so good.
Around 3pm we headed back to Time Square so we could start getting ready for tonight.

They had the street blocked off and there were about 100 people doing a Yoga class right in the middle of the street.Only in New York :-)
