On Broadway - Beautiful

We had one busy Thanksgiving Day. After we devoured all the thanksgiving goodies, we hopped the subway with Claire for a Broadway Musical she's involved with. The show "Beautiful" is all about Carole King's life and music. It was absolutely wonderful, dancing and singing were amazing. We walked up and down Broadway before the show started, the lights were enough to give you a seizure. The place was jam packed, even when we came out around 10:30. We waited over an hour for the "C" train, finally called Lexi and found out we could take an "A" train.....it was a late night for the Bumpkins.
Meanwhile, Lexi & Kevin had decided on braving the "Black Friday" (which actually starts on Thursday) crowds, in pursuit of a BIG screen 50 inch TV for only $200. They waited in line for 3 hours, over a block long in extremely cold weather. Once inside they found out all the TVs were gone. They saw people wheeling carts to the checkout with multiple TVs, even though it was only one to a customer. Lexi pleaded with some of the greedy people to let her have one, they said NO. Then she decided to tattle on them. She went back again to some guys who had 5 TVs, and started begging and whining for one. That's when an angry mob began to form around the greedys. Finally the guys relented and gave her one. Then a large woman started trying to yank the TV away from Lexi, but she held on. Not often you get to use your hunter gathering skills to get a TV.

Thanksgiving Day Feast in Brooklyn

Lexi and Kevin's first Thanksgiving as a married couple, it was fabulous.

American Museum of Natural History

This was Lexi's first trip to the museum. It's BIG. After our visit we watched "The Relic", creepy.

Animals

Liked the window, gorillas are cute. We took a museum break and went for lunch at Carmines Italian Restaurant, that was another good walk.

Stuffed Animals

Kind of sad to see them all stuffed, but at least they did a good job.

Closing Time

We finished with the dinosaurs, then bundled up to leave.

NYC Lights

It gets dark fast. We cut through Central Park after leaving Natural History Museum. Went past Bergdorf
Goodman Christmas windows. Thought about hitting a few more store windows but we were all freezing to death.

Windows

White squirrels, upside down, patriotic, lady in tree. Never could quite figure out what the theme was.

Prospect Park - Brooklyn

Went to a Farmers Market, Brooklyn Flea Market, then a stroll through the park.

Julius, Lulu, Janelle's, Art & Pizza

Covered a lot here all within a few blocks. Julius grooms Lulu, walked by Janelle's place, then went home to do some art work, while Chris made pizza.
