Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Our last day in NY: time to cram in all the unchecked items on our "To Do" list.
Shopping for fabric in the garment district..found Metro Textiles after reading about it on several sewing blogs. Patricio (sp?) knew where to find anything I was looking for. Double knits? Silks? Cottons? No problem! Although I'm excited about all my fabrics, I'm particularly stoked about a blue/yellow taffeta that looks like a dupioni silk.
South Seaport...such beautiful views of the harbor, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Brooklyn Bridge and historic Brooklyn Heights. We had a seafood lunch overlooking the harbor and I had my favorite mussels and Brooklyn Lager. Jett asked for a bite of my mussels and he LOVED them. That's my boy!
Great shopping prices...David found great deals on suits he really needed. Now to bring them home. Yikes! Where will they fit?
Of course we crammed in a couple more playgrounds...David needed the exercise.
Ice skating in Central Park...Jett really wanted to ice skate, but it wasn't as easy as it looked. You can take the six year old out of Cali, but you can't teach him to ice skate in one hour. Poor guy will be feeling it tomorrow.
Then it was more thin crust, NY pizza and off to bed...good night NY!
