New York City: Day 3 – “I’m dreaming of a wet Christmas…”
We woke up late again on Christmas day (hey, after all it is vacation…) and after breakfast we took the subway down to 5th Avenue to look at the displays. (Oh and we saw some guy with his wang hanging out, peeing in the subway...) We stopped by Rockefeller Center again to scope out the Christmas tree a bit better and scored a picture of us together (the only one from the trip…I kept getting nervous about handing off my camera to people). Then we went and saw all the displays. Maybe it sounds silly but I always thought that being a window dresser would be a good job for me. It involves design, fashion and arts & crafts. I bet I’d be really good at it. Anyway, we admired all the windows from Saks, Lord and Taylor, Neiman Marcus etc. But I have to say Lord & Taylor was my favorite. The fairy tales were very well done.
The skies had started to turn pretty dark and we knew rain was on the way, so we picked up a cheap umbrella and kept trucking around. Almost all the stores were closed, but we had a good time out and about just enjoying the quiet streets. We stopped by the NYC library. It’s such a beautiful building! They keep it up very well and it’s so huge. We stopped and had some lunch and then wandered into an electronics store and Tim got a great deal on a 1 Gig Flash card for my camera. Talk about a Christmas gift. I am so happy to finally have one. I can get about 800 images on my camera now.
After lunch we were ready for a rest. I think the stress of the day before had gotten to both of us and we were feeling a bit cranky. So we went back to the house to rest and then get ready for our dinner at the Sea Grill. Tim got all dressed up (he wore a TIE!) and I finally got to wear my favorite blue dress. I foolishly wore some pretty high heels, but since we were planning on taking a taxi home after dinner, I figured I wouldn’t have to do that much walking.
Wrong! We took the subway to the wrong stop again, and by the time we got to the restaurant I was in pain. But hey, I looked cute, so it’s okay. The Sea Grill overlooks the Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Center and the atmosphere is very warm and stylish. Everything is done in this soft aqua colored glass with etched designs on it. Very beautiful and peaceful. I felt the stress of the day before melt away as we sat and sipped our drinks. We sat at the bar for a bit until our table was ready and then sat down to the BEST MEAL I’ve had in so long. It was pretty expensive but so worth it. I had the Lobster and Tim had Roasted Pork and I wish I would have thought to take pictures of the meal because it was a work of art. Anyway, we also had dessert which was divine. I had Baked Apple tart with Marscapone cheese and rum raisins…sooooo good. Tim had the Sorbet which was also wonderful. All in all a very pleasant evening and meal.
Afterwards we decided to go see King Kong, but it was sold out. So we decided to go home and relax (i.e. make out) instead. It was pretty awesome as far as days in New York go (except for when Tim lost his new gloves I bought him.) You can check out the pictures from Day 3 here.

Forget the celebrity count. I think that we need to count up the things that you lost in NYC.
1. Keys
2. Cell Phone
3. Gloves
(speaking of being a security freak--what about those birth control pills?)
Oh, wait...we still have day 4!!!
Hey! I didn't lose anything... It was all Tim. :) As for forgetting the pills, that was because I was too busy making sure he didn't forget anything. :P I prefer to think of it as New York wanted something to remember us by...
Well, as anyone in my family will tell you I am in the same boat as Tim--"Where's my sunglasses? Where's my wallet? Where's my keys?" Sigh
