I Sounded A Little Like Paul Revere

"My family is coming! My family is coming!" That is all I would say for the weeks leading up to my cutest family coming to visit me in New York! See, aren't they fun? Don't you wish you could have ran around NY with them for a week?

I was really glad that my family was able to see where I live in the Heights because how many people get to experience anything above the top of central park when they come to Manhattan? They would miss things like Fairway Market and Dino BBQ (get the fried green tomato's...WOW!)
Has anyone else heard of The Chip Shop? It's in Brooklyn, I ADORE Brooklyn! Apparently Glen Beck featured this little dive on his show and my father had to eat there while he was here. It's hilarious and lots of fun to visit. The Sheppard's Pie is amazing and the fish and chips were great! Rhett was a little more adventurous and got the fried pizza and Mac&cheese. Not so good! Fried Twix however will probably change your life!
My father also decided that he would take pictures with every member of New York's Finest that he saw. One of these pictures is not like the others...Can you tell which one it is? (I loved this game in Highlights)

Lost in the forever maze of the subway

Top of The Empire State Building

Connie wandering off in Central Park...This picture kind of reminds me of the movie "Watcher in the Woods" That movie is AWESOME! Nerak! Bhah, I just scared myself a little.
Took the podium tour of the Statue of the Liberty. Super cool and learned all kinds of history. My mom and I went to West Side Story. Loved it! I cried into my program the whole second act and black ink got on my face. After the show we got pictures with Tony. We only had Rhett's Blackberry and my cutest mom ever had a little trouble with the zoom! Mom seriously, I love how my picture turned out!

Those were some of the highlights of Leslie's Family fun!... So other family that didn't come...COME!!!! I am so much fun!!!

I hope you had fun little family! I know I did!

Sometimes It's Not Just A Bus

I am helping out with a company called Forte Festivals. They bring band/orchestra kids from around the country to play their instruments. Thursday I met with their Bus driver to pick up all of the kids from JFK. I thought it was just another bus with another driver....I was SO wrong!

Above is Cedric, He was President Obama's bus driver during his campaign. Below is me sitting where President Obama sat...Or maybe a secret service guy, and maybe the secret service guy liked the retro chair design as much as I did...(don't be surprised if I end up with a couch upholstered exactly the same!)

I FOUND IT!

Anyone remember Cera from the movie "Land Before Time"? She was awesome right? Well, there is a scene where she thinks she finds the Dino Promise Land and she sings this little "I FOUND IT" song.
Well, these little Liquorices are the human equivalent of a Dino Promise Land and I found them and now anyone who reads this should also go find them and make them a part of your family.
