Visiting New York City


My Better Half (MBH) and I spent last weekend in New York City, which was my first visit to the big Apple (unless you count transfers at JFK and La Guardia or the trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty).

We spent several hours walking Manhattan, looking at the architecture, and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rockefeller Center (and "The Top of the Rock" as they label the observation deck tour), and Central Park.

Fun!

Celebrating Saint Patrick

For St Patrick's Day, My Better Half (MBF) and I went to Kildaire's Irish Pub at 7:30 AM for an Irish Breakfast. Delicious! And they served a pint of Guiness, which even at that early hour tasted smooth and satisfying.

All in all, a much better way to celebrate than my past method of drinking green beer...
