Hey guys..finally I'm back!Unfortunately this heat has been so ridiculous to sit in front of my computer long enough to write a blog!Today is cool,so that really helps!
This blog is all about my nephew Dylan's visit to the Big Apple,oh and meeting Tony Award winner Levi Kreis(Million Dollar Quartet)
Keith and I had the great pleasure of having my nephew Dylan come visit us for a week recently!There were so many things I wanted to show him,but so little time. So I let Dylan decide,and like any child he chose the M&M store in times square(1600 broadway). This place is huge(3 floors) and so many cool things inside.after about 45 minutes we left there with our $37 bag of M&M's that we mixed together.
Next we headed to Toys R US Times Square(1514 Broadway) where like M&M it is also 3 levels and majorly packed!
After a little shopping spree there we decided it was time for lunch at Dave and Buster's.
On our way there he got too hungry and opted to have a NY hot dog and pretzel.
As a New Yorker I never really agreed with NYC putting chairs and tables on the streets of broadway but today it was perfect!
Now we were ready for Dave and Buster's(234 west 42nd street) where Dylan terminated the terminator game and won a whopping 480 tickets to redeem!
Which bought him a few peices of candy and finger locks LOL.
Now it was time for a break and thankfully i live so close!
That night we took Dylan to Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co.(1501 Broadway)
A fun place based on Forest Gump's best friend.We won the trivia quiz(which gave us free refills on soda all night LOL) and Dylan got the shrimp he has been waiting for!
But like his uncle Jeff a few bites fills him up!
Afterwards we saw Iron man 2 and then headed home to play video games.
I'm telling you this whole week I didn't feel 37...but my body felt it!
in the next few days I took Dylan to Coldstone Creamery(amazing ice cream concoctions),Central Park,Toy story 3 in the imax,The Chelsea Hotel(where Bon Jovi filmed his video)and many other small shops and food spots.
But I did give him some education by taking him to The Metropolitan Museum of art.(1000 5th avenue)Which he loved because of the Greek statues and midievel Times exhibits! They were really amazing!
Our last day with Dylan was spent at Hersheypark with his mom and dad and sister Skylar,our beautiful neice!
Hersheypark has come a long way since i was a kid! The rides are extreme now and the chocolate still tastes incredible!!
With Keith being on P90x we only bought $5.00 in candy this year versus $95 last year!
Alas all the fun had to come to an end and we headed back home to NYC but this time without Dylan.
When we got home I was sad when i looked at the Playstation 3 (every night before he went to bed we played a game of monopoly on it) and realized how much I already missed him!
There's always next year,and in a few years Skylar can join him!
Now just last week we went to see Million Dollar Quartet (which was incredible) and met Levi Kreis who plays Jerry Lee Lewis! He's so talented and soo nice!!
He represents the gay community and artists greatly! Unfortunately Keith brought the wrong camera(the one with dead batteries) and the iphone sucks at taking pictures with bright lights from a marquee around you!So all we have is a picture of Keith with a blurry spot standing next to him.
But at any rate it was a great experience and Keith got to meet his inspiration for performing!!
Tonight we are going to dinner with our friends Gail and Doug at Becco's.So that will be one of the places I review next time.
hope everyone has a great week!! Stay cool and...
Bon Apetit'
