Dear Diary
Well, another trip to Westminster has come and gone. What an exciting
adventure this one was. First of all, we barely made it up there because
they were canceling flights right and left in anticipation of a big blizzard.
I was skeptical...I mean, doesn't it snow all the time up there? What is the big
deal? Well, our original flight was canceled but we made it on to what turned
out to be the last flight from Dallas into LaGuardia before the remaining
flights were all canceled and the airport was eventually closed until Monday.
Yikes! And yes, they were right...it turned out to be a record breaking
snow for NYC. It was beginning to snow when we arrived. We set right out
to go to the obligatory and customary first stop after the hotel...Burger King
for the first of many meals of junk food eaten on this trip. I had a
double cheese whopper YUM. We then traipsed around Times Square just
a tad...I like this picture
as it shows the snow coming down. The snow was pelting us in the face, so
we headed back to the hotel pretty quickly that night. We then checked out
the basement of the hotel where the dogs go to potty and exercise
.
Even with the bad weather, the dogs were starting to trickle in. On Sunday
it was basically white out conditions in the morning. We slept in and got going
a little before noon. The streets were all but deserted and the snow had
really piled up
.
Cars that dared to try to get out were getting stuck all around us. We
decided to hoof on down to Central Park where we were treated to a wintry
wonderland
.
We had originally planned to take a tour bus this day, but of course none were
running. So, we actually traipsed around in this weather for several hours
before heading back to the hotel. That night we saw the Broadway production of
Lion King...yes, even in the blizzard the show must go on.
