Food

I have noticed lately that I have a strange habit of taking pictures of the food I eat. Most of the time this happens in restaurants much to my family's chagrin. Although, they seem to be getting used to it, and my girls have started asking me to take pics of their food as well. So, I have all these pics of food, dishes and cocktails and nothing to do with them except subject my friends to them. Then I thought, I have this blog, so guess what? lol I am going to start posting my food pics. I know y'all are all excited. Anyway my first post is from Bonefish Grill.

Dumplings




Ahi Tuna

These two dishes we had last weekend, and they were delicious. Until, next time....

New York City - Part 8 - Final Day - Dinner/Time's Square/Home

Here I am, the last post from my trip to NYC. I know it's taken me a while but stuff just seems to get in the way and my creativeness and motivation leaves me. We walked from Ground Zero to the South Street Seaport in search of dinner and more sight seeing. We found a wonderful Cuban restaurant with a beautiful view of the seaport on the balcony. We ordered White sangrias that were delicious along with several Cuban dishes. We had a very nice meal for our final evening together in the city.

After dinner, we made our way to Time's Square. I have to admit to being completely overwhelmed by the people and the Square itself. It was beautiful and mesmerizing. I didn't want to leave. I think I stood and looked up at it all while turning for a good ten minutes. LOL I'm sure I didn't look like a tourist at all. The last pic down there is the plane that I flew in from Charlotte to Chattanooga. It was essentially a bus with wings. Although, I think a bus would have had more room. :-)


So, that pretty much wraps up the trip. It was a blast and I met some wonderful and nice ladies. J and I plan on returning back to NYC next year and visiting Zee again. I can't wait.

New York City - Part 7 - Final Day - Walk to Ground Zero

After visiting the Statue of Liberty, we all took a walk through NYC to Ground Zero. It was a beautiful day that day, and to be honest, the entire weekend's weather was almost perfect. Below are some pictures from our walk to and of Ground Zero.

The was the coolest thing. This is a guy painted and dressed up like an army man toy.

The New York Stock Exchange

Trinity Church

Ground Zero

As you can see, they are still working on the site and from what the plans showed, it's going to be very nice when it's finished. I'm not sure how long I just stood there and stared, but I was really in awe of the site and what it has represented to us and our nation as a whole. I really never in my dreams thought that I would get to see it, and I am so very grateful to my girls for allowing this trip to happen. Love ya.

Next, post will be the remainder of our final full day in NYC. :-)
