BradnDad2014
Well the reason for Brad and I being on our adventure had finally arrived.
Happy Birthday Brad !!
Our original plan was to celebrate Brad's birthday at the Empire State building, but as you will have read in the blog, we visited there on our first day in New York. The new plan is to have dinner at a nice restaurant in Times Square.
While Brad was Skype-ing everyone at home and catching up with well-wishers on FaceBook, I headed off for the mundane chore of washing etc.
The day just seemed to call for being lazy. To be honest, before we knew it, it was lunch time.
Having decided to visit USS Intrepid, we stopped at Subway (sandwiches) for our regular fare. Unfortunately, we had neglected to check time tables and arrived at Intrepid just after closing time (last tour is 3.00pm).
Heading back towards midtown, the day continued in its lazy fashion arriving in Times Square around 4.00pm. Thinking we would catch a movie in Times Square before dinner, we were surprised to find there is only the one cinema in the area and it wasn’t playing anything that we wanted to see.
Lots and lots of musical theatres on Broadway, but no cinema’s…
Hmmm, we watched people for a while and encountered the "Naked Cowboy".
2017 update. The Naked Cowboy had political aspirations and ran for office in 2014. Probably would have been a good running mate for the incumbent Mr Trump in 2017 :)
I guess our timing was just off today as neither of us felt hungry, but we both felt tired…
Decision made, we headed home about 6.00pm in preparation for a big day tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Brad !!
