Everything is BIG in.......

You know how they say everything is big in Texas.....well I can't imagine how anything could be bigger than this city...it is bigger than life, it is bold and it is beautiful.....

Yesterday we decided a stroll in Central Park would be a good way to relax, given our big day when we arrived....a stroll...yes a stroll....and while you might think a stroll through the park for the day might get that one checked off your list, we had a check of a different kind...a reality check....

We had a beautiful day, a very relaxing walk....we got to see a ton of things, experience sites you see in the movies, a dedication to John and the place he made his home. We rode the carousel, and we bought art...original art from a wonderful artist Nadia....she is actually a singer/songwriter who's music inspires her art....she attaches the lyrics of the song that inspires her art to the back along with a code for a free download.....you should check her out at http://www.natchieart.com and if you check her Instagram link on her web page, you will see what we bought!

In front of Trump Tower across Columbus Cirle gate to the Park

Here are a few more sites from our walk in the Park!

Tavern on the Green

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tavern on the Green looked pretty swanky and doormen were pretty too lol!

The carousel was a lot of fun and really old...beautiful!

The Band
The Dakota, where John Lennon lived, loved and ultimately met his misfortune....

The Dakota is actually on West Central Park which overlooks Central Park and more specifically Strawberry Fields, a portion of the Park that is dedicated to John Lennon's memory and legacy.

Other high-lights include....

Bethesda Fountain and Terrace overlooking The Lake (and yes that is the name of the lake)!

The Friends Fountain.....it's real name is Cherry Hill!
There was a wedding happening here!
There was plenty more pics and memories here.......as well as the reality check.........we only explored less than a quarter of the entire park! The apple isn't the only thing BIG in this city!
