Wild on Wednesday

It's Wednesday and it's time to get WILD (I missed it last week--sorry Lauren!)...so, here we go!  This week I'm W.O.W.ing about:

  • New York City
We took a lil' jaunt into the city a few nights ago...not to do anything in particular...we pretty much just lurked around, but when you're in the City even lurking around is a grand ol' time.  We went to Times Square, went into a couple of bars/restaurants, rode the subway, walked around the NYU area, and the best part...rode on a rickshaw!  I took a little video and I'm hoping it will upload, but I've never posted a video on here so...you know.

Oh man...I felt bad for our rickshaw cycler.  I told him he wouldn't be able to pull all three of us, but he swore he could.  He did...but you should have seen the sweat beads rolling down his face when we were done...poor guy.  Good Times!

Here are a few phone shots of our adventure (a few are rather blurry but you get the idea...right?  Right.)...





So, yeah...I'm pretty wild about NYC.  I kinda, sorta love the fact that you can go there with absolutely no plan and still have a great time.

I think I will let the Pictures speak for themselves...

Are you seeing the monkeys with clothes on?  The horse?  The skunk?  That raccoon?  Ohmygosh that raccoon is killing me!!!  I could look at these ALL.DAY.LONG.

And I think I'm going to have to end my W.O.W. list...I mean...how can I top this...

It's a RACCOON.  Sitting in a ROCKING CHAIR.  Next to a FIREPLACE.  I DIE.

Maybe the other W.O.W.ers will be able to top that raccoon, on a rocking chair, next to a fireplace...let's find out...
These are the only other W.O.W.ers that I'm aware of...so if you're WILD about something let us know!  If you're too shy that's ok...I won't be offended...I have my new friend the raccoon, on the rocking chair, next to the fireplace, to make me feel better.

  2. Guess what I am wild about? You saying, "Oh man!" in that video. Ha! That looked like it was a great time. I hope you tipped Mr. Rickshaw Guy well. ;) Super jeal that you live so close to NYC. I really wanted to honeymoon there. Went to Duluth instead. Not sure those two cities are on the same level. Maybe someday I'll go. And you'll have to be my no plans tour guide.

  3. My husband says he can top the raccoon picture. He did have one as a pet when he was growing up. My husband, not the raccoon. I can't wait to see the picture. Welcome back!

  4. I just responded to your poorly spelled comment on my blog. We are so on for corny craft projects. Better go find some gawdy sh!t on Pinterest.
