Walker & Julia come to visit, Part I

After we picked them up at the airport we dropped off their suitcases and took the subway to Manhattan where we rode the Staten Island Ferry, visited the 9/11 Memorial and had dinner at Robert de Nero's restaurant in Soho, The Tribeca Grill.  This is a very beautiful restaurant, and huge!!!  I suggest, however, that you get the hamburger, as the food was somewhat iffy.

Here is Julia in our neighborhood park where I walk the dogs every morning.  They have great parks here.

We took Julia to the Zoo in Central Park which is quite lame.  There are no big animals there; no lions, or tigers, or bears, and it's very crowded.  So we decided to have lunch at Tavern on the Green where Walker proposed to Christy.  They have since redone it many times.  It's very beautiful now.  However, the food is quite wierd????  But beautiful and expensive.

After Tavern on the Green we took Julia to FAO Schwartz to see what she would think.  She was allowed to choose one thing and she chose to build a pony.  She named the pony "Shutterfly."

The next day our goal was to get Walker & Julia cheap tickets to Aladdin and we did it!  We won the lottery so they were able to see the show with $30 tickets.  Julia (and Walker) absolutely loved it.
