Park, Picnic, and Piers Morgan

Today was the warmest it has been since we arrived. It was the perfect weather to spend the day in Central Park.
We stopped in a toy store and got Finn a ball and some bubbles to take with us.

 He wanted to have a picnic so we ventured up to the Upper East Side to grab some food to take with us.   We went to a market on Madison Avenue.  I was paying for our food while Tosh was dealing with the stroller and Finn.  I realized the guy behind me in line was Piers Morgan. I had a goal to see someone famous, so as soon as I thought that was him, I got really excited. I kept my cool.   I finished paying but really wanted to get a better look.  Tosh was struggling to get the stroller to fit out the door and so I just let him struggle. It was perfect! It bought me just enough time!  I stood there behind him knowing that the Piers or Piers look alike would be finished paying and walking out soon. Sure enough he did and as I started to walk out he pulled the door back for me. I said "thanks" and I knew with the accent he responded in, it was no doubt him.  
                                            
 As soon as we left, I told Tosh and he said "OHH! That is who that was. I thought he looked familiar. I almost ran into him."

Later in the day, Tosh spotted a famous guy but unfortunately I turned around too late to see.  The problem with Tosh seeing the guy is that he doesn't know anyone's name.  Or movies...or books....or shows.  He just knows the guy is famous and he has seen him on something but cannot remember what.

We took our food back over to Central Park and enjoyed a picnic.
We went for a stroll out by the Boathouse and saw the boats.
 Finn crashed in his stroller so we got to enjoy some coffee and people watching.
 We are loving New York.
Finn decided to wipe peanut butter all over my coat. It is now at the dry cleaners.  I won't have it tomorrow, so tomorrow may be a good day for a museum.  I hope I can stay warm or I may just have to go shopping =). Target anyone?

  1. Century 21! You MUST go to Century 21. Corner of 66th and Columbus/Broadway. They have great accessories, and probably spring coats too. Loehmans has some OK stuff every now and then too - Broadway and 74th. Both are very reasonable prices.

    I love seeing all of these pictures. They make me so homesick for the city!
