Happy 4th of July
SOrry I didn't get on yesterday. With ds2 going back it was quiet and I just tried to enjoy it. I did feel a little sad with ds going back. It was rainy most of the day and I did enjoy that.
We had a great time on Sunday. The train left at 9:15 and we were in the city by 10:45. We walked to Ellen's Stardust dinner by 11:10 (18 blocks in 25 minutes). I thought it was too loud. If we weren't so close to the speaker I might have enjoyed it a little more. The food was okay. Dh had a turkey wrap that had turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. I may try to make it at home one day. He liked it.
We had some time so we walked back to Times Square and went to the
Disney store. Very nice. It is 2 stories so we got separated from the kids and I was able to text them to see where they were. Dh and I were downstairs waiting for them. On the wall to our left every now and then something else would be projjected on the wall above the skyline of NY. Once it was tigger and pooh, Another time it was fireworks, another time Tinkerbell, another time the lanterns from Tangled. There was also a tree with projections on it, from frogs to fairies to bambi characters.
We then went to the M&M store and loved it. We then went to the Hershey store. I did not buy anything in both stores.
Wicked was wonderful show. The number at the end of the first act was amazing. I love the way it foreshadows Wizard of Oz. If you haven't seen it try and get there.
Ds read the train schedule wrong so we kind of rushed to get back to the train station but we ended up with a half an hour wait.
We are going to a friend's house for the 4th. The pool has been closed for the last year so I miss that. I am bringing a veggie platter so that I have something to eat. I may bring my knitting to keep my hands busy.
Have a happy and healthy 4th.
My day has taken a different turn. My gf who has hosted a 4th of July party for over 14 years is not having it this year. I invited her and her dh to come over for dinner. I went out and got a few things and just have a few things to do. I am keeping it simple, chicken legs, hamburgers, hot dogs, veggies and dip and nachos and salsa. My gf is bringing dessert which she can then bring home with her.
I am enjoying just sitting here watching 1776. I love the movie since it took almost all the original cast from Broadway. I have seen the movie many times and seen the theater production a couple of times. It is a hard show to do since there are only 2 female roles. Most high schools never do it but it is powerful show.
Have a safe evening.
Breakfast fruit salad milk and bagel.
lunch potato salad blueberry cobbler
snack almonds
Didn't do too bad with dinner. Some chips, veggies, hamburger, hot dog and a chicken leg. Did have a wine cooler and a pepsi then two cookies.
