Spring Break with Katrina in NYC


Katrina and I decided to take two nights away for our own personal Spring Break, so we came up to New York City and had decent enough weather yesterday to go for a long walk, up Times Square, over to Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, up Fifth Avenue to Central Park. And that’s where we ran into a movie being filmed at a swing set. Special Effects had brought in snow, and Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock were there (Tom taller than we thought and clad in a brown leather jacket) filming while we watched. We went on over to Columbus, had a quiet supper, and ambled back down to our hotel. It was a wonderful afternoon on the streets of New York City. Today we’re going to the Metropolitan Museum and tonight to Mary Poppins on Broadway. Home tomorrow. Here are some pics.
