A relaxing day 4 in NYC...

We opted for a relaxing day 4 in NYC as we had tickets

for two shows and were ready for a day without so much

walking. We slept late, grabbed a bite from Wichcraft,

and found a spot in Bryant Park to watch a few games of

Bocce. There were old men wearing their lazy summer

garb and young guys in their suits and ties on their

lunch breaks -- all there to show off their impressive skills.

The weather was perfect, the trees shady, and the seats

good for watching the games.

Finally, a sport I think I could enjoy.

Here are some photos of the shade trees in

Bryant Park. I love they way they look

handpainted. You know I'll be stealing that

beautiful color scheme for some future project.

Beautiful, aren't they?

After lunch in the park, it was time for Everyday Rapture.

Sherie Rene Scott is a unique talent and her story of

Mennonites, Half-Mennonites, Judy Garland, Fred Phelps,

magic, and Mr. Rogers is a doozy. What a voice!

Later, we hit Ruby Foo's for dinner. Yes, it is

somewhat of a tourist mecca -- but Randy loves

their sticky rice! The Pad Thai was pretty good too.

After dinner, it was time for Promises, Promises

with Kristin Chenoweth and Sean Hayes.

Kristin was good, Sean was great, but the real

treat was Tony-winner Katie Finneran in a

supporting role as Marge MacDougall.

So much fun!
