Our final full day in NYC\u2026took the subway to the Museum of Natural History.<\/a>\u00a0 The subway station under the by the museum had some beautiful mosaic work. \u00a0Here is a sliver of it…

\nThe lobby…

\nThis place is huge. \u00a0You can’t really see it all in one day.

I think this was my favorite exhibit. \u00a0It had varieties of all different kinds of life. \u00a0‘R’ is showing his “love” for fungi…

Walked to Columbus Circle to meet up with brad, the brother of my good friend, Christie. \u00a0We visited for a while before parting ways. \u00a0It was such a treat to meet this awesome guy. He’s an actor who plays a waiter in his spare time. \u00a0You might catch him in next year’s movie, “Annie”, if his two lines don’t hit the cutting room floor.

\nNext stop\u2026Never Forget…

\nA piece of one of the Twin Towers in the foreground. \u00a0Construction of the 9\/11 Museum mid ground, and the Freedom Tower in the background…
\n\"IMG_4869\"<\/a> \"IMG_4872\"<\/a> \"IMG_4874\"<\/a>
\nThere are two memorial fountains, the North and the South. \u00a0Both are located where each of the Twin Towers existed. \u00a0Surrounding the fountain are the names of the people whose lives were lost.

<\/a>The museum is still being built. \u00a0They had a small gift shop at the end of the visit. \u00a0They were playing this precious video in the store. \u00a0Definitely worth watching\u2026John and Joe<\/a><\/p>\n

Took the subway to Times Square. \u00a0Fun and a little overwhelming! \u00a0So glad we went at night.

Walked from Times Square to Rockefeller Center. \u00a0On the way, we passed Mark McGrath<\/a>. Pretty impressed with myself that I recognized him. I am sure we passed other celebrities living their life, but with all the activity, and people, it’s hard to notice.<\/p>\n

Here is the official New York Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. \u00a0Tree lighting was to take place the next day, so we would miss it. \u00a0But, what we did get to see was the rehearsal for the televising of the lighting and got to hear Toni Braxton sing a song during the rehearsal. \u00a0The police did not let us stand and we had to keep walking, but it was a fun experience…

\nAlthough ‘A’ did not get to skate below Prometheus, he did get to see him. \u00a0He was content with that.

Antee Sara treated us to a wonderful dinner in Brooklyn. \u00a0As a foodie, I am in awe of all the quality eaters within walking distance in a single neighborhood. \u00a0They are all charming and small, maybe 20 tables. \u00a0A great place to spend the evening. \u00a0I could be very happy eating my way through New York City for the rest of my life. \u00a0Dinner at Buttermilk Channel<\/a>.

Lamb and Romaine Salad with Coffee Pot du Creme for dessert.
