New York Trip

I left San Diego at 9:30 p.m. Friday night and connected to a flight to New York in Los Angeles on an overnight flight. I arrived in New York (JFK airport) at 7:45 a.m. Saturday morning. I figured out how to take the subway to Grand Central Station in downtown New York because I have a room at the Grand Central Hyatt Hotel for the night. It cost $7 to take the subway versus $70 for a taxi. I felt really smart, until I changed subways and got on the wrong one... LOL... but I figured out really quick that the subway that I had gotten on was going in the wrong direction.

I met up with Joshua when I got to the hotel. It is really nice but rather expensive. We went to Soho today, visited Grand Central Station (it has really beautiful architecture) and went to Times Square as well.

I wanted to catch a show, but Joshua insisted that we go and watch a movie. Can you believe that I am flying a total of 5,000 miles for a weekend and instead of seeing a Broadway Show, I went to watch a dumb movie!?!

Times Square Photos...







Photos from the Soho area of New York...
I really liked all the shops!


Where is Joshua?
I kept trying to take photos of Joshua and he kept saying, "Mom, stop! I hate it when you take my photos!" --- He is a model who does not like for his mommy to take his photos?! What is going on? :-)
My camera is not fast, so it takes several seconds to snap the photo...enough time for Josh to turn his head or cover his face...SILLY!!!



.....BUT I finally caught him!!!
We are having a lot of fun though... Tomorrow, we are going to have breakfast and will go and see his apartment. I will get to meet his other model roommates. I imagine them to be worse than teenage girls. :-)

I am leaving back for San Diego tomorrow evening at 6:30 p.m. Overall, New York seems to be a lot of fun, lots of great shops, restaurants...and it is so very busy out there on the streets. Maybe we will have time to visit Central Park tomorrow.
