But we bundled up and walked fast! Like the old days.
We stayed at the Andaz Hotel across the street from the main branch of the New York Public Library on Fifth. Scott fished for a free room upgrade by saying we were there to "celebrate the birth of our child," who was clearly still unborn in my pregnant belly, but it worked and we got a room with a view.
The room had high ceilings and tall windows, which inspired many photos.
One of my favorite NYC landmarks! Right out our window!
We walked to breakfast at the Galaxy Diner Saturday morning and passed through Times Square. Let it be known the Naked Cowboy has a very strong work ethic and is willing to risk frostbite, which clearly rendered me incredulous and unable to make eye contact.
After breakfast, Scott went to visit his buddies and I spent the afternoon exploring.
That's Scott retrieving our car from the parking garage beneath Grand Central Station.
Meanwhile I visited my old friend, the library, which is as lovely inside as out.
So grand!
And full of exquisite detail.
I went into the map division. This globe was gigantic!
I scurried around outside a little bit too, and took as many pictures as my cold fingers could stand. Two or three.
Pedro's grandmother invited us for breakfast at her apartment Sunday morning. While we were hunting for a parking spot, we ran into Pedro walking Puddles, and they jumped in the car with us for a few minutes.
Pedro let me walk her too. We are old friends, Puddles and I.
And Scott and Pedro are sweet men who both brought flowers to Grandma.
She cooked us an enormous and delicious breakfast, that included many treats.
Hooray, New York!
