Central Park

Brenna called me one day before we were suppose to be leaving NY and asked if I would go to Central Park and take a picture of Balto the dog. We've read the book about Balto, the dog who saved many lives in Alaska when he led the dog sled team to deliver medicine to a town in need. It was Brenna's one request. So on our last day we went back to central park and I ran through the central park zoo and found Balto on the other side.

When Todd and I went to New York several years ago, we had been faithfully watching "Law and Order". So Todd jokingly said that his one request was to see Briscoe and Green in Central Park. We didn't see them in Central Park but Green was on "Regis and Kathie Lee" when we were in the audience. Well this time when we were in Central Park we came across a large crowd of people and they were taping "Law and Order". I called Todd right away and told him what we saw. None of the main characters were there but it was fun to see it.

Okay....Central Park is cool but it's also a little on the strange side. You never know who's going to be standing out there with a bowl for change.

We found a bench to sit and enjoy Central Park for a little bit. We soon realized that there was a lot of women and children coming and gathering behind us. But none of the moms looked like the kids. The kids were all decked out in the nicest designer clothes and were being pushed in the most expensive strollers. It didn't take long to realize that all of the nanny's were getting together for an afternoon in Central Park.

We enjoyed a ice cream treat in Central Park. Notice the "New York Bible" in my hand. I'm such a tourist!!
