I've been excited to edit and post these pictures for almost a week now. Last Thursday night, my very sweet and romantic husband took me to dinner in Central Park. We ate at the Boathouse Restaurant, which is right on the edge of a small lake in Central Park, and overlooks such a beautiful scene - trees, water, ducks, rocks, gondolas, turtles and fish, etc. If it weren't for the high-rises just off in the distance, you'd never realize you are right in the center of Manhattan! New York is such an amazing town and I was ready with camera in hand at every opportunity - which caused more than a few natives to ask where we were visiting from.* Ralph gave our standard answer: 'We're from here, but my wife can't leave home without the camera'. HA! I honestly couldn't care less if I look like a tourist. :) Anyway, we had a great time out and really appreciated a romantic evening with just the two of us. (Thanks Mema for babysitting!)

After dinner, we took a walk through the park. We stumbled upon movie cameras, bright lights and a full cast & crew. We thought we had stumbled upon a movie set in the middle of Central Park, but it turned out it was just a commercial for Sleepy's Mattresses.
The gorgeous Plaza Hotel, currently under renovations.
On 5th Avenue, where they film the CBS Early Show.

An art exhibition, made entirely from tin foil! SO COOL!!
*I never know how to answer this question, considering that in the last 10 years I have lived in the D.C. area, western Maryland, northern Virginia, Delaware, and now New York. And I spent my first 7 years in Pennsylvania. I don't know where the heck I'm from, really. But my standard answer is a simple "D.C."

What a treat to get out for dinner in the Big City! It's was a treat for me to see your beautiful photographs!
p.s. I took the plunge this morning after talking with several sales people (I can't stand the sales pitches and shadiness!!) and bought myself a XTi with a 28-70 and 70-300. It'll be here tomorrow. With the holiday weekend, it was my only option in order to get it hear before Julia's birthday.
oops - should have been here, not hear.
oh, and I plan to stick the 55mm on my wish list. From your work and Jennifer's I can tell it would be a great addition. Thanks for your advice!
Beautiful pics of New York...you sure are not in Delaware or PA anymore...$12.00 for a salad!!! (saw that on the menu)
