let it snow, let it snow

Saturday today and we actually woke up this morning and went and had breakfast, 1^st time since being in New York! It was the quickest one ever, we had just finished ordering and it had come out, which was good. Anyways then we decided to head into Times Square again and do some more looking around and also some shopping, we also had to go back to M&M World, since we had so much fun there in Vegas. It was on a smaller scale than the Vegas store, but they still had some cool stuff in there.

Today is so so so cold, its supposed to start snowing today, there is a snow storm on its way, and it feels like it will coz it is so cold, the wind just cuts through you when walking down the street. But I am not complaining coz I am in New York.

So we head into a sports store for Roy to get some shoes, you would think it would be easier in America for him to get size 14, but the girl says “we don’t get them in coz they don’t sell very well”. Haha But he managed to still find a few and I got the cutest shoes ever for Isabel, I want them so bad, but they didn’t have my size.

We walk out of the sports store and now its really SNOWING!!! Yah finally, we have been waiting to see the snow, and did it snow. At first it was a nice light snow, ok to walk around in, oh this is fun, everyone gets the camera’s out etc etc.

Then we headed down to Bloomingdales, another massive store similar to Macy’s, we were in there probably an hour, but it was so crowded and most of the stuff we had already seen and bought, so we decided to go and walk down a street and find different things, we walk outside and it has been snowing so much, its everywhere and now its blowing and not as much fun as when we first ventured out today, its so cold as well.

Found a really cute shoe store though whilst in the blizzard so not all was lost! It was nice and warm in there and there really was no need to be out in the snow when there were shoes I could be trying on.

We walked back home in the snow and again it was fun for the first ten minutes and then it wasn’t so much fun anymore, more a mission just to get home and I didn’t have the appropriate footwear to walking around in slushy snow.

We are going out for dinner tonight with Leanne and her boyfriend Kleber, she lives here in New York, lucky thing. (Mark from works sister).

We went to this really cool Cuban restaurant uptown, the food was amazing! Also the company was great we all got on like a house on fire, and ended up not leaving till 1pm in the morning, they had to kick us out! Haha it was a great night.

So we get outside, and of course its been snowing the whole time only now everything is white, nothing is visible anymore, no roads, no footpaths, no trees, any car parked on the side of the road is now buried in snow its amazing everything is just covered in thick white fluffy snow. Its like the white Christmas that you see on the TV and in the movies. Roy and I are like OMG OMG OMG even Leanne was excited as this is her 2^nd Xmas in New York and last year was blue skies and sunny!

So we get a cab back to our hotel and we get dropped off at the bottom of our street so that we can go and play in the snow for a bit! Even though its freezing cold, its snow and who can resist! We were playing around in the snow on 5^th Ave at 1.30 in the morning, there hardly any cars and those that were around were travelling very slowly in the snow. We threw snowballs at each other and wrote our names in the snow. It was strange to be on 5^th Ave and it be so quiet, because during the day its so busy with cars and people, almost eerie, but we had a lot of fun doing it.

Lets hope tomorrow clears up for the Jets game and also so that we can fly home for Xmas as they have been cancelling flights all day out of New York (about 300 according to the news), so the reality of our flight being delayed/cancelled is a real possibility and starting to sink in.
