Vists to the Met

It was a cold and blustery day today...and we ventured out downtown to the Met. Two trains and a bus later, we were there!
Come on Liam, let's see what we can see.
Aha...now what could have caught their eye so early?
The moon the moon...and Liam spied it first of course! What a bright start to his day out!
I love the large open spaces at the Met. And how the new extensions open up what is a long standing, oldish, but elegant building.
Lots of lovely space to walk about in, and not quite as crowded with school children on their week off of course, as the Natural History Museum yesterday, which I may get around to posting about tomorrow if you are lucky!


Looks like it is time to go home here...
one last photo outside....at least the ugly scaffolding has gone from the outside which was there the last few times Grandma has walked across Central Park to see it!
a few fashions from Madison Avenue for you....it is looking like it is going to be a pretty bright spring, when it gets here. Still a way off I think! But getting closer all the same.
where we had lunch after the Met...upstairs at Serafinas. Very nice, popular, crowded and noisy. Sitting quite close to other people , but they gave us two tables...and the ladies next to me were speaking french..how lovely! No I didn't say Bonjour. I didnt want them to know I spoke le francais. Ahem! Liam really enjoyed some of my tomato juice.
Let's wander home Liam...still a bit of ice in the street. Those are two buses we missed, but eventually there was another. Waiting in the cold wind was a bit interesting, sheltering in the shade of the building over there....in fact, Grandma could hardly push the pram against the wind at one stage, and had to turn it around!! The bus driver stopped to pick up several groups of people who were walking across the park (Central Park) along the bus road, as he said there was still a bit of ice along the footpath. How lovely!
