Kelly's Button: August 2009

Grampa, Kayla and Kai at luch after church.

Double paci, Kai. Silly boy!

Pictures of Kayla and Kai, mostly Kai's 18 month pics.

So Handsome!!!

There it is, The City!!! So exciting!!! I got to go to New York City to visit Scott for three days, I got there Friday night.

After I got to Scott's apartment on 31st and Broadway, we walked to Time Square and had dinner at Plant Hollywood. Then, we walked around looking at all the shows in the area, like Lion King and Little Mermaid and David Letterman

The M&M Store and the Hershey Store behind it. Scott and I went in the M&M Store on Monday night. We didn't get home until after 11 pm and it really didn't feel that late at all.

Scott's apartment in New York. He lived here for about a 1 1/2 months, when he worked in NYC for 2 months this summer. It was a pretty sweet set up for him!

Scott's kitchen, very nice.

Saturday, we walked down 5th Ave and saw the fancy expensive shops, like Tiffany & Co., Gucci, Versace, etc. We went into Tiffany & Co. and the jewelry was amazing. Just before we left the store, we saw a sign in the jewelry case that said, "Jewelry priced less than $5,000 on the second floor". Therefore, everything we had seen was over $5,000 and more. Whoa!!! This is the enterance to Rockefeller Center, beautiful fountains and plants.

Rockefeller Center, this is where people ice skating in the winter.

This is one of many beautiful churches we walked by.

Central Park, so Beautiful!!!

Beautiful pond shot in Central Park!

At the famous fountain in Central Park.

The views are AMAZING!!! You are in this gorgeous green area with trails and ponds everywhere and the backdrop is a beautiful skyscraper. It is Awesome!!!

So many beautiful places and trails in Central Park! It was so big, we only walked through about 1/4 of it, 53rd Street to 81st Street. Then, took the Subway back and took a nap, since we had walked about 50 blocks...

Little Italy, which is basically one very busy street on the weekends.

Scott took me to dinner at IL Cortile "The Courtyard" (it did have a very garden like feel to it inside). It was beautiful, delicious and expensive. :) We would totally go there again!!!

Ground Zero, this cross is located across the street at a church and is made of metal from the Towers. It was really neat! Sunday, we walked down Broadway (by all the Federal buildings) to Chinatown (saw the fish market) to Ground Zero to Wall Street to the Ferry, I was ready to sit for just a little bit. :)

Trinity Church, on the corner of Wall Street and Broadway, in the movie "National Treasure".

The Staten Island Ferry takes anyone back and forth between the City and Staten Island for FREE!!!

The Statue of Libery, very cool to see!!! :)

Scott and I on the Ferry, the best way to see our Nation's Lady!!!

View of the City coming back on the Ferry.

ESPN Zone, one of Scotts hang outs on game days while he was in NY. It is four stories of food, TV screens of all sizes and games.

New York style pizza, had to eat it the right way. Met Scott for lunch before going to the Museum.

The Museum of Natural History in NYC, was AMAZING!!! I went by myself on Monday while Scott was working. I was probably there four hours or so and still didn't see it all. I took hundreds of pictures before my battery died and I was exhasted. Here are just a few of the pictures that I took.

Dum-Dum, give me Gum-Gum! :)

The Bald Eagle, I love this bird!

Scott and I had dinner at Lobster City, just off Time Square, then we walked back to the Sq. We went to The M&M store, so cool. It was 3 stories of M&M anything you can think of, they have it.

Statue of M&Ms, so cute!!!

Met Jake, the next Bachlor (didn't know that at the time though), at the airport in Atlanta flying home from NYC on Tuesday.

Lauren and I took the kids to the drive-in movie to watch G-Force. Kayla did really good, but Kai never sat down, but luckily he stayed right by us, so I never had to chase him down.
