Tuesday (My Birthday!!!)

The hotel bed was too soft for my delicate back so I was up early with Andy and he took me to breakfast at the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle. The restaurant is called Landmarc and I had the most giant French toast EVER! It was so good and I know probably so bad for me, but I didn't care, it was my birthday!! After breakfast Andy headed into work and I went back to the hotel and took a little nap watching VH1's top 20 countdown. I never get to watch it because the kids dominate the TV in the mornings, so it was a treat! Too bad music these days is CRAP! But the best part was the nap and when I woke up I got ready to meet Sarah and Andy at work for lunch. Sarah was sweet enough to take the day off of work to hang out with me but I think she enjoyed the sleeping in as well! Andy's boss Mike came to lunch with us which was great because he ended up paying and he made some cracks that made me laugh, so it was fun to see a side of him I've not seen before.

After lunch Sarah and I headed up 5th Ave for our day of shopping while poor Andy had to go back to work. Normally I wouldn't have wanted to hike 5th Ave because of the major quantity of tourists, but all of the shopping I needed to get done happened to be located on 5th Ave, so we just went for it. Sephora for makeup, American Girls for a doll for Samantha, H&M for clothes and FAO Schwartz for Alex. The weather was heavenly so after all was said and done we sat in some chairs outside FAO and enjoyed the sunshine and people watching. Sarah bought me some hilarious Smurfs for my birthday so we took some good pictures.
We went across Central Park for the Bouchon Bakery for some tasty treats before I had to head back to the hotel to get ready for my date night with my sweet husband. We had just enough time to make it to our reservation at this Greek restaurant named Kellari and the food was incredible but we had to hurry through it all so we could make our 7:00 play of Young Frankenstein in Times Square. The play was very funny but nothing can compare with the movie. If you've never seen it before......we can't be friends.
