Spring Sunshine

It's been a busy day for us. After getting in some good sleep we grabbed some breakfast. Unfortunately, we had to switch rooms. The original room was a suite with two queen beds. Oh, and ladies, the shower had quite the "magic stick". We were a little miffed by this at first, until we go into the new room which is awesome. It's on the corner of the hotel with views of Central Park and the Hudson River.

Speaking of Central Park, it was a beautiful day to walk through it. We crisscrossed our way through all the way up to the Guggenheim (which was closed, dammit). The trees haven't greened up yet, but there were lots of flowers in bloom. We hit some of the famous spots (Strawberry Fields, the Obelisk, etc.) before grabbing some lunch in front of the Met.

The nephew wanted to see Grand Central Station, so we took the #6 down Lexington to 42nd Street (we're on 54th Street) and checked it out. I think he was suitably impressed.

Now we're just kicking it at the hotel for a bit. We'll grab some dinner around here (no more Times Sq. food, thank you very much) before seeing a show tonight at 8. But for now, some web surfing and watching the Masters is just fine.
