NYC Day One

For her graduation trip MJM picked New York City

Upon arrival had to take a 130 am trip to the Deli (because I  blogging thus 3 days later, I will report out that the part time vegetarian eating pastrami was a bad idea taking 3 days to recover)

And the best view ever from our hotel room!

Wicked bound

Tarzan took us shopping  in NYC today for a special Broadway outfit.  Unplanned and unbeknown to us until we were half way there was that we dressed to match.

The Snow White complex

Mirror mirror on the wall 

Who's the fairest of them all. Apparently the fair maiden in the Ariel dress.

I received 5 compliments (including a text from CEM) on my dress.  

She received over 20 compliments.

Sigh, once again the princess wins.

Like mother like daughter?

We are headed to New York for MJM graduation trip.  On first glance mother and daughter couldn't look more alike 

Then there's the personality side

The one with water on her fins

And the one with wind in her hair 

The demise of photographs

When I retire I have always wanted to take a post in a high traffic tourist area and take photographs of those vacationing.

I often practice this skill (and have now trained Tarzan) when I see a group taking pictures of each other not inclusive of everyone there, or if they are attempting a selfie with a scenic background. 

In the past couple months I have been turned down when asked if I could take their picture while said person was in process of selfie. Saddened by the need of my retirement gig waning I have still been on the lookout where my talent is needed.

Today while in process of a hot chick selfie the offer came asking if we wanted assistance.  My first reaction was no (am I really transitioning to the outside world? Or do I just know how it do a better angle?)

I conceded and we had the photograph taken.

Sigh. It's always better.  Please universe, let's not let the selfie take over good photography
