Sex, Drinks and Mad Scientists

This weekend started off a little slow but in the end it was eventful. I probably should have said that given the title of this post. Classy...very classy. Anyway, Friday was a relaxing night and much needed! This week at work has been a little crazy and it's only going to continue. Plus, during my morning commute the ice started melting off the tall buildings and crashing down on people getting out of the subway SO they ended up closing the train and it was a wee bit chaotic to say the least. End result, Friday we just relaxed and watched the Ranger game and a little of the opening ceremony to the Olympics. We LOVE the Olympics or anything athletic so we were excited for it to finally start.
 
 
Saturday we were little adventurists and headed into the city to explore. We ended up going to the Museum of Sex on 5th Ave. Now, I know some people are thinking the worst things possible, trashy, disgusting, porn filled, perverted animal you are, no. It was a museum about sex and there were a few things I could have lived without seeing, however there were some interesting things there. They only have a few exhibits but it was quite interesting to learn about the habits of people regarding sex, internet obsessions, the evolving Facebook and sexting era we are in and the act of sex between animals - which was quite interesting. Would I go back, not for $15 a ticket, but it was definitely an experience I can say I have done. For understandable reasons, I did not take any pictures besides the one below, although it was allowed, which was another interesting fact, but you are more than welcome to visit their website here.
 
 
Pun intended?
 
After that little viewing, we ended up strolling around the city, per usual acting like tourists that have never set foot in Manhattan and just enjoyed the crisp air and noticing buildings we have never noticed before, but may have walked past a million times. That is the thing I love about New York City, you can visit a hundred times, I work there 5 days a week 52 weeks for over 3 years now and I still am amazed at the things we find, the places we discover and the memories we make. As much as I would love to move out of New Jersey and become a part of another city, I don't think I can ever truly pull myself away from this amazing place I call home.

After all the walking and the temperate dropping tremendously and having to pee like nobody's business, we decided to grab some dinner. If you are new here and haven't seen all the wonderful Halloween posts, you will see that the boy is highly obsessed with all things Halloween. He has been dying to get into Jekyll and Hyde Restaurant so we decided it was the perfect opportunity. I have to say if you ever get the chance to be in NYC you have to get there for lunch or a quick dinner. The food is good, basic American items on the menu. They have entertainment and actors walking around which was pretty...entertaining. We had a few good laughs a few good drinks and called it a successful day.
 
 
 
No matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we always manage to have the most amazing times together. The memories we are making are what I am going to cherish most. I love capturing these moments so that I will never forget all the adventures we went on, all the laughs we had. I can look back and close my eyes and remember how the air felt, the smell of the street carts roasting nuts and the smile on this guys face. I will be able to tell my children and their children the best stories from when I was growing up. I will be able to show them these pictures and show them what life was like for us. And that is what life is truly about. I am so blessed to have weekends like this and I can't wait to experience a thousand more.
