The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 52
My hubby is out of town in Las Vegas this weekend. I decided that I'd wear his shirt today since he isn't here with me. Haha. When he called to see how I was doing I told him I was wearing his shirt and he said, "I love it when you wear my shirts!" He really does.
It was very sweet. His mommy called me today to check on her daughter-in-law. She was afraid I'd be lonely so she called to chat for a little bit.
K, Ladies and Gents... I'm back in hopes of trying to catch up on my blogging. A friend asked how far I was behind and all I have to say is I'm pretty far behind... lol.
In this blog, I'll try to catch up with our 4th of July trip to Orlando with our buds, Adam and Sonya. Dan and I had a great short weekend with Adam, Sonya, as well as our Floridian friends who live there.
Dan and I have been doing lots in NYC. As some of you know, we're heading home... back to California this fall so we're in a squeeze to do the things we haven't yet done yet.
We're definitely still eating a lot! Dan and I try to meet up every day for lunch. Sometimes we'll head out to Times Square to people watch. It might be a tourist spot, but where else can you meet people from all over the world. I've met some interesting people out there and have had great conversations.
A lot of times we try to bring our own lunch to save money for weekend eats and treats...
This vendor let me try to make my own crepes!
Yummy noodles at Republic
We also hit up Crif Dogs finally...
Inside Crif Dogs, you can find a phone booth. If you go inside and pick up the phone, a hostess will answer and ask you how many people are with you. If you can go through, you'll end up inside a restaurant called PDT, Please Don't Tell.
One night I felt like eating a good ol juicy burger so Dan took me to Paul's Burgers. This is Dan's burger. He loves loves loves spicy food.
Brunch with Sonya at 7A...Now on to our 4th of July trip in Orlando, Florida. How did we decide on going to Florida? It was kinda simple. One day, Sonya said, "Hey! It would be cool if you guys could come to Orlando so we could take you out! Maybe 4th of July." and Dan and I replied with, "okay!" So that's how it happened. It was a bonus that I have friends who I've known since high school living in Orlando this whole time. So off we went for the 4th of July weekend!
She's chowin' down!!!
After brunch, Sonya got me drunk on sangrias.
For a while I was addicted to dessert!!
We also tried the food at the new Pho Shabu 32 on St. Mark's. Not too shabby.
My first Orlando friend I've known since I was 14 years old. He took us to Church Street. It's in downtown Orlando.
Then we met up with Charlie! Haven't seen him in so long!
And I've known Tan for over 10 years (through Ant and Charlie) but never met so finally we got to meet in person!
Here are our other pictures from our first night in Orlando in downtown.
Dan's long time friend Mai also lives in Orlando/
Sonya's best friend, Ying!
The boys at I Bar!
The girls!
The next day Sonya picked us up from Ant's place and off to Epcot we went!
Epcot is a cool place to be! I won't say it isn't expensive though. There are different areas themed after a foreign country. It was like traveling the world.
I think everyone, other than me, was drunk the whole time because it was just one big drinking fest around the world. haha. I was drunk part of the time. I'll admit that. (I have to admit it because Sonya has evidence!)The fireworks show at the end of the night was nothing short of fantastic. I'll get the video up when I have it uploaded on youtube.
The next day, (our last day) we tried to hang out with our friends one last time.
Sonya and her friends also threw a bbq at her friend Breanne's apartment complex.
Ying's hubby, Victor.
And then good ol' Ant took us to the airport to go back to New York City.
That concludes this blog, folks! I'll be back! Toodles!!!
