Museum of Natural History - Dinos & A Big Whale

Museum of Natural History - Skeletons & Jewels

Continuing onwards, we headed to the Northwest Cost Indians exhibit and the Hall of Gems and Minerals.

Museum of Natural History - Mammals & Mosaics

After brunch we headed over to the American Museum of Natural History. I kinda wish we went there earlier or just had more time to spend there as it was quite amazing. The ROM does not compare. Ah well, just another reason to go back soon :)

The Last (and best) Brunch

The start to our last day in New York was great. We looked up a great brunch place on Yelp, and decided to go to Petite Abeille in Chelsea. Judging from the mascot on the window, I'm sure you can decipher the name is Little Bee in English. Really glad we did. It's now a chain of restaurants in New York that first opened in 1996 with the idea of serving traditional Belgian food in a comfortable atmosphere. I think they definitely succeeded. They now have four locations all over Manhattan, and have gotten rave reviews ranging from "Best Burger" to "Best Brunch". 

Brooklyn

I'm so behind on postings of any kind. Going to try to catch up and actually aim to achieve some of my resolutions this year. Our fourth day in New York, after wandering through Central Park for hours, we ventured out to my old stomping grounds.

Best Present Ever!

This Christmas Stephen gave me the best present ever I think. One, because he made it; two, because it is the epitome of us and is very special; and three, because it was a complete surprise and I never expected or thought he would do something like this. He also gave me a hard case and a bag for my laptop which I definitely needed. But I would have been just as happy to only get this painting. I was so surprised to see it and there might have even been a single tear shed. I want to protect it with some sort of spray and then frame it. Thank you baby :)

Central Park and Zoo

Sunday was the first really nice day we had in New York. It was mild and sunny and we decided it was the perfect day to take in Central Park. We headed out pretty early and spent most of the morning walking around the beautiful park. I loved how so many people were out playing baseball, walking their dogs, or just hanging out and enjoying the day. It's a great place to spend some time of even the whole day.
