New York City, Day 2

Central Park Day! We had lunch food for breakfast on the go and headed to Central Park Zoo. Met up with Jen, a friend of Andrea's from elementary school and junior high, who works in Manhattan and had never been to the zoo before. We saw the Sea Lions and the Seals being fed. The penguins were just hanging out, but too crowded, so we past right through to the Puffins. We had a great view of the Polar Bears; one was sunning itself and scratching an itch. Then we saw monkeys, turtles, rain forest birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, and red pandas. The children's zoo is full of barnyard animals and some cool fish.

Our next adventure was finding the carousel. Google failed me by taking us clear to the other side of Central Park (supposedly about a half mile) only to come back half way to the middle. But it was worth the walk as Garrett loved it! After a little refreshment, we found the horse carriage rides and rode through the park.

On the taxi ride to dinner, Garrett fell asleep on his Momma's arm. We had a delicious dinner at Turkuaz (Turkish food). Garrett woke up in time to have some, but he decided he preferred eggs and sausage back at the hotel. We rode the subway with Jen to the nearest stop and said Goodnight, then walked a few blocks to the hotel. Garrett is finally having his dinner while we plan tomorrow's adventure. We have too many things we want to do for only one more full day here!
