NYC

I was going to write last night but I was already ready for bed at 7:30! Long day in NYC! We took the 40 min. train there and went straight to the Empire State Building at about 9 or 9:30. Best time of day to go! We didn't have to wait in any lines! We got this city pass thing where we got tickets for all the major sites we wanted to see. It came with the audio tour so we did that! BEST decision! It was cool because it told you exactly what you were looking at. This was our favorite thing of the whole day.

Next we took the subway and went to Central Park. There were so many people there working out it was like there was a big bike/roller blade/running race. We sat on a bench, ate lunch, and rested our feet. It was real nice!

After the Park we went to the Museum of Natural History. It was pretty cool! I didn't realize it was the same museum on Night at the Museum. My favorite section was the dinosaurs, Newel's too! We didn't make it to every part of the museum because it was so big!

After that museum we got a little lost on the subway but then we made our way to the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). If you've seen our facebook page recently you will see Starry Night. We also saw Picaso and Monet, as well as soon really weird art. But that's modern art for ya! We should have done the audio tour but we got there to late and they weren't giving them out anymore.

After all our Mew-Salmon (get it!) We were REAL tired. So we made our way to a road with lot's of restaurants and started our dinner search. The winner was a lobster restaurant, the name had the word claw it in but I couldn't tell you the whole name the only thing on my mind at that point was getting off my feet and putting food in my mouth. It was really good! I got chicken tenders of course. My adventurous food for the day was putting a pineapple sauce thing on my chicken tenders. Newel got a lobster surf and turf sandwich type thing. I guess it looked good, he said it was!


Today we walked to church at 8:00 church started at 9:00 and it's 2.2 miles away so we knew we needed to leave early. Today was extra muggy so we arrived at church just in time for the sacrament all sweaty and yucky! Lot's of cute babies in our ward. Everyone was excited to have us there! 2 families from a London ward from Newel's mission were in our ward! Weird. They were nice it was good to meet them. Instead of walking home in the heat since the sun was out a nice guy gave us a ride. Him and his wife used to live in Bluffdale but came here for school. 

After church our friends came over and we had a fun little BBQ because our apartment has lot's of them. Except we ate inside because it was so humid today which was a good idea because it started pouring! The thunder was so loud Newel and I literally jumped off the couch! We like having friends here it makes it even more fun!

I didn't put all our pictures on because it takes too long to upload them and I don't think I'll get to it tonight so keep your eyes out on facebook because that's where I will be putting them.
Ready for a new week!
