Days Inn Brooklyn

... 8217;s never enough time to devote to places like this, where it seems that god has bumped up the color saturation. Blues are bluer and greens more verdant, and around the edges of geysers, the reds, yellows and oranges are electric. Even the much-hyped Old Faithful put on an impressive show worthy of its press. We were astounded to see herds of elk and bison slowly ambling across the road.<br><br>Even outside of our parks and preserves, the sheer scale and ...

... Sprint sprint, breeeeeeeeathe.  Ah yes, two tickets, two tired, hungry Brits, and not a place to sit in sight! Amazed that we found 120V AC plugs next to every seat in a rather ordinary-looking Greyhound bus, we set our gear to charge while we stole a few winks sleep, in between stopping at depots and changing buses, which seemed rather unreasonable for a night bus with people trying to actually sleep! Arriving at dawn on the outskirts with no idea what we were ...

... York were fully committed in commemorating the day. There is something called the 'September Concert" and their printed mission statement is "To fill the skies with music every 9/11". They coordinated with venues throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn to have live music on stage to honor the day/ night. I just happen to be in the city on 9/11 (had to get my Visa for China at the Embassy) and got to experience some of the tributes. The pic posted here was in front of ...

... for dogs only called Jemmy's Park, it was the first time we had seen this. The parks here are very well maintained and clean. Walking through the heat it we went to see Madison Square Garden and up the Empire State Building. We went to the 82nd floor. Awesome views from the top. Then home sweet home.

... it was like before 9/11 and the large area of open land amongst the skyscappers is very surreal. There was a tribute to the fire fighters who lost their lives, it was very moving. Wall street was our next stop, impressive buildings and lots of stars and stripes (and a tiffany and co randomly!) Then it was time for us to head to the statue of liberty. Luckily we had booked tickets to go inside the statue which was pretty cool as we got to ...

... here, so I was there for a couple days before going home. I saw Make Me A Song, Spamalot, Peter and Jerry, and Cirque de Soleil's Wintuk before going upstate for Christmas week. It was so great being "home for the holidays." It had been a few years since I was home for Christmas, and this time it was just Mom, Dad, and I. My brother and sister couldn't come home, which is why I visited them the weeks before. My mom, as ...

... of your heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentleness of hands will take it all, sift it, keep that which is worth keeping and, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. My ideal relationship:Equality. Nobody is better than the other. A relationship should be equal on both parts. Communication is important. Trust is the Key to a great relationship. Romance ...

... the time. But shhh... there is a dirty little secret hiding in my MP3 player. When no one else is around I sometimes revert back to my musical obsessions of the past and can be caught listening to Hanson, The Moffatts, 2Gether, the Backstreet Boys, the Spice Girls, Dream Street and other completely embarrassing, yet COMPLETELY AWESOME, music groups! That's right, folks... I'm a closet teenybopper. Just don't tell anyone... What ...

... the arms of a little girl. He was very playful and absolutely adorable! We also liked seeing the seals, sharks and jellyfish and we got to revisit the greatest part of the aquarium... the part that we would always run to when we were younger - the big waterfall! After spending some time at the aquarium we decided to walk around Coney Island. It was cold but nice out, and the boardwalk was actually really pretty ...

... him to "Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co." for his bday dinner. we had a window seat which overlooked times square. the food isn't that great and only tourists go there. i did really well on the Forrest Gump quiz our waiter gave us. when u want a server's attention u flip this sign from "go forrest go" to "stop forrest stop". clever. we got a picture of the baked beans in times square bc they were there for the ...
