My birthday of course! Well it may not be Your best day ever but it sure is mine every year. :) Although I was solo this year I spent the day doing what I love to do in the city that I love living in. Who could ask for more? I went to my FAVorite store, Henri Bendel, to browse and shop and generally hang out. (I should probably apply for employment for crying out loud) Then I walked around the city and made my way to the Times Square Visitor Center. It's a gorgeous building (which I am a SUCKER for) with all kinds of fun things to do inside. Now let me preface this with, Times Square is not my favorite place in the city, BUT they have the New Year's Eve Ball on display and I really wanted to check it out. I even got to take pics with it. Besides it's huge and sparkly, what's not to love?
This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories. Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...
