central perk

Remember that coffee shop in FRIENDS, the name-sake of this post?

Yeah well a few years ago, I found out it DOESN'T EXIST.

Hopes and dreams of visiting this great american sitcom relic = dashed.

Don't worry though, we went to the REAL Central Park yesterday and it was absolutely amazing, which obviously makes up for everything!

Seriously though, it was far more beautiful than I ever would have imagined.

And let's be real, the people watching is probably the best there ever is!

I mean, we saw a kid there.... and his name was JAGGER. Prime example.

I don't know how Kimber eluded this picture, but props to her because she was definitely standing there

The view from Belvedere Castle. Just when you thought Central Park couldn't get any cooler, they had to go and put a castle in the middle of it!

My beyond adorable husband. What a lil' cutie!

Thankfully the afternoon was uneventful, except for being briefly interrupted by 5 minutes of rain

(refreshing!)

almost passing out due to an assault from the humidity and not drinking enough water

(that's slightly ironic......)

and being attacked by a snake on our walk back to the car.

(actually it was just a branch, but you know. Snakes and branches look A LOT alike these days.

At least judging by my reaction they do...)

And that's how we spent Sunday afternoon, in the company of our dear friends Casey, Kimber and Kelly in the beautiful city of New York.

Stay tuned for some interesting updates from the Carter family later this week.

Until then, I'm taking a page out of Tigger's book....

 TTFN. 

Ta ta for now!!!!
