We went back to New York at the end of June to visit with Gar. We had lots of fun and I think we walked about 400 miles. We stayed at the Helmsley Hotel in Manhattan. The highlights were the double-decker bus tours that Gary and I took while Gar studied, checking out the Today show on Sunday morning, and the Spamalot Broadway show. Spamalot was hilarious - I highly recommend it. Lowlight - getting drenched on Sunday at the Pride Parade and my cell phone getting ruined from being wet! We had some nice meals and lots of fun. I kept trying to get into one of the 4000 Ann Taylor Loft stores that we passed, but we were either busy on our way to somewhere or the stores were closed. I had two coupons for $25 off each that were about to expire!! As we were walking back to our hotel on Saturday night, the Loft store near the hotel was having some type of party and I got invited in (maybe because we were peeking in the window trying to figure out what was going on in there at 10:00 PM)! I didn't go because my invitation consisted of some dancing young guy in there dancing in our direction and waving us in. I would have preferred a more official invitation, so we just kept walking, but I thought it was really funny, especially since I had been trying to go shopping there all weekend. I finally did get to do some shopping at the Loft in Brooklyn on Sunday right before we left to go home. :-)
I have to publicly announce that I am now a Jenna Wolfe fan. I had previously not been crazy about Jenna (the Sunday co-host of the Today Show), but she turns out to be such a really nice, down-to-earth girl that I am now a fan. She stayed outside after the show, talking to people and posing for pictures until everyone that wanted to meet her had met her and gotten their pictures, autographs, etc... Lester Holt ran back inside immediately. He may have had someplace to get to right away, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but Jenna was nice. Also nice was Janice Huff, who always stays out and talks to people. I have seen her there before and she's always extremely friendly. Watching the Today Show from outside the studio is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it. It's neat to see how the TV business really works.
