Dan is still doing a rotation in New York. He gets to come home for the weekends, though, so Alyssa and I went down a little early on Friday to have some fun before bringing him home on the train. We randomly found this statue on our walk from Grand Central to the Central Park Zoo. Alyssa recognized it as a rabbit, amazingly enough. And since it spouted water, she had to go check it out.
Here we are at the zoo. Alyssa is studying our map very closely.
I was surprised how much she wanted to watch the monkeys. I have always found them to be a little creepy.
She just looked so beautiful among the flowers. Here she is getting quite tired. I ended up taking her to some swings to help her fall asleep for her nap. While she was sleeping we went to Columbus Circle and looked at Williams Sonoma and Borders. It has been quite some time since I was able to browse books without interruptions.
After she woke up, we went to the fountains out front to wait for Dan to meet us. She was again mesmerized by the water. Which was a good thing, since she was still a little groggy and really hungry. We went to Bangkok House for dinner. It's a restaurant that we used to eat at when we lived in New York. It is a slightly different experience with Alyssa, but we still enjoyed it. There was a couple eating a couple of tables away that made us reflect somewhat on how different our life is now. It will be interesting to see what changes the next year brings with the end of residency.
