New York Vacation: Central Park

Here's a few pictures we took in Central Park. We went there the morning of our first full day there. We were glad we did since Wednesday was the best weather of our entire trip! We were blown away by how we could have just spent hours there! It's such a peaceful place in such a huge, bustling city! And we loved the fall colors...they must have just hung on long enough for us!

This is Bow Bridge....it was really pretty.

Everyone in awhile you saw buildings like this and it reminded you that you really were in a New York and not wondering around in the mountains somewhere.
Here's Brian and I on Bow Bridge...my favorite spot of Central Park.
This is the view from Belvedere Castle. I wish I grew up playing baseball in such a scenic spot!

Like many places in New York....we both referenced movies that we had seen that were filmed in these places. For Central Park, Brian couldn't stop thinking of the movie Elf and when Santa lands in Central Park. For me, I couldn't stop thinking of the movie Muppets Take Manhattan and when Miss Piggy gets her purse stolen, she chases the thief down on roller skates, and the carriage ride that her and Kermit the Frog take. Funny memories!
