Up and at ‘em. We got up early, packed up our stuff and headed downtown to The Roosevelt, a nice hotel on 43rd St and Madison Ave. We dropped off our luggage because our room wasn’t ready, and we went to the NBC store in Rockefeller Center. Now, to some of you, this may not seem like a big deal, but for Rhonda, this is a big deal. This is a very. big. deal. Rhonda got to meet Mary Beth Evans. Who? (Rhonda says, “That was the coolest part of this trip, right?”) She plays Kayla on Days of Our Lives. After getting an autograph and a picture, we went and got breakfast at Dean & Deluca. It was really expensive for just breakfast food, and the coffee was ridiculously weak. Never again.
We took the subway up to 86th st at Central Park and visited the Museum of Natural History. Really big dinosaurs, totem poles, stuff about how we evolved, alot of jokes pertaining to Ross (namely on the subject of paleintology), a life size replica of a blue whale, every animal you could imagine, the Cox’s, that dum dum want gum gum guy from A Night At The Museum, a part of a meteorite that hit Oregon, and a really big part of a sequoia. Oh, we saw Stephanie, Bob, and Debbie there and talked about our trips so far. We were real tired and real real hungry after all that museuming. We walked for a few blocks and took the bus down to Columbus Circle. We got some coffee and a gingerbread cookie and four hotdogs. It was a late lunch and kind of random, but it was good. Then we went back the hotel and checked in. Super small room, but really nice hotel. We fell asleep for about an hour when Stephanie called. So we got up, got ready, and headed down to the lobby. There was free hot apple cider in the lobby. That was nice. We went back over to Rockefeller Center to go ice skating with Stephanie. It was ridiculously expensive, but it was fun. You can’t go ice skating in Rockefeller Center whenever you want, so it was cool to do it. After that we looked for a place to grab a slice of pizza, but it was after 11, and once again, most places are closed. We got a chicken kabob from a street vendor, which was real tasty, and then went back to the hotel for the night.
