Then we walked to Times Square to get Christa a swatch watch because she sang on the subway but they were too expensive still so she has to earn a little more money maybe by singing for swatch watches outside the swatch store. So after that we went to talk to some Navy guys because it is Fleet Week so my mom asked when they ship out because I really want to see some cool ships and the last guys said "No navy ships for YOU!" but we might try to go down in the morning and see if they are still there and if they are I will be happy and I might get to take a tour of a real live battle ship or destroyer or something even cooler like a floating aircraft carrier like in the Avengers.
We walked to this theatre called the Roundabout Theatre that is at Studio 54 which my mom says is all famous and stuff. WE watched this play called Harvey. Harvey is Elwood P. Dowd's (aka dr. Sheldon Cooper) large 6 foot3.5 inch tall rabbit friend. It was a great play! My favorite line from the play was from Elwood and he said "My mom always told me to be smart or pleasant. I spent the first half of my life being smart and now I prefer to be pleasant." We came up with a new phrase in our family: What Would Elwood Do! Then we went to this new pie store and we ate pies and I said hi to the pie lady because that is what Elwood would do. This is one of the things I love about this city--you can have a baby pie after a Broadway play at 11 pm at night. What a city!!!!!!!!!
Ryan, great post! Sounds like a wonderful evening! Christa, I am so proud of you for singing on the train & for your Swatch. I have an old bright yellow one that might still work, it's definitely vintage. Connor, Declan, and I are all very jealous of your summer in NYC. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to read the next post.
