Apple, Shrek 3, FAO Schwartz and Central Park. Oh, my feet!

The first item of the day on Monday was to take an iPhoto class at the Apple store on 5th Ave. at 9 a.m. You see, my computer is too slow. Perhaps because of the 10,000 photos on it. The recommendation is 3,000 — tops. So I found out the best way to back up and delete. So now my photos are on a fire wire and a video iPod. I just have to delete them from my library and begin a new library by pressing option at the start up. Speedy computer here I come!

After class I visited Pottery Barn, William Sonoma, and Crate & Barrel. That was fun. Walking home (via a N line) I saw a Lego sign in the third floor window. Strange. I had to check that out later. In the subway I realized that it was FAO Schwartz. We have been to the Apple store twice now and Quint said NOTHING. It's NEXT DOOR!

We saw a Shrek 3 in Times Square. Five stories up. We thought we had given ourselves enough time to get to the movie.... the escalators were fairly slow though and we were begining to have our doubts. Unlike Bryce, we liked it. And they have nice bathrooms. After the movie we went out onto a patio and looked down onto Broadway.


Before our Monday Family Home Evening in Central Park (Literary Walk and then the free Brass Concert), we spent 3 hours in FAO Schwarz. And it cost nothing... oh, I forgot, Q wanted to ride one of those simulator rides. We chose "Cosmic Collision." Jennifer played on the giant piano keyboard, held and cuddled every stuffed animal on the first floor. She waved the $125 light saber (Obi-won's blue one) on the third floor, posed with Lego Chewbacca and then played on a baby slide for 30 minutes with a 2-year-old on the first floor.


They have nice bathrooms too.
