Where has Stanley Been?

Stan has been on quite the adventure lately. He's been to Times Square. You know... the crossroads of the world.









First he saw Madam Tussaud's wax museum and Ripley's Believe It or Not. And as he walked down the block he passed the Amsterdam Theatre.







He was so excited to see the New Year's Eve ball that drops every New Year's Eve. There was so much abuzz in Times Square. It was really quite the sight to see so many people & so much happening all at once.







As we searched for a place to eat lunch, we stopped in the Hard Rock Cafe and saw lots of cool memorabilia. We didn't stay though. The wait for a table was just to long.



As we walked we passed Nasdaq. We stopped to watch some stocks scroll passed us.





We ultimately decided to have lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp. We had lunch and enjoyed it very much. Stanley thought he was funny by diving into my beer. Humpf.....





Afterward he needed a nap and so he laid down with Sean.



After lunch we headed further up and stopped in Hershey's. Then we looked across the street & saw the biggest M&M we'd ever seen.









Have you ever seen a wall of M&M's? Who knew there were so many colors?





And I guess it wouldn't be a good day without an M&M dressed as Danny Terrio.



Stanley was so excited to see Mickey just walking around. Even I had no idea he visited NYC. I always thought people from NYC visited Mickey, but I guess he needs a vacation too. Right?



Then of course Stanley played a mean joke on me again. I thought his little adventure into my drink at lunch got him into trouble. Nope.... he was just introducing himself to one of NY's finest.



As we walked back to the train, we saw the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building. Unfortunately that day it was to windy to go up to the observatory decks in the buildings, but he did see their majestic height & architecture.





And just before we got on the train..... Spongebob walked by. Apparently he's amphibious and also needed a vacation from the pineapple. Who knew?



On February 26th we went to a fundraiser for GiGi's Playhouse. It's a center for children with down syndrome & their families. Stanley had a good time and even met Miss. New York.
