Saturday:
We woke up pretty early, probably about 7:30 or 8, and all showered and got dressed. We decided that it would be a good idea to go to the Home Depot (we had already taken several trips there this week) to grab a few last minute things to get the apartment completely finished. This included scissors, a heavyweight shower curtain, and a few other miscellaneous items. While we were at the Home Depot, we decided to wander down a block to the Big Apple BBQ Block Party in Madison Square Park. Here are a few pictures:
The line of tents, It also went down another side street.
This is where we ate, the ribs were SO good!
Preparing Ribs!
Another tent was preparing a whole hog, this was the skin. Gross.
This was what we had for dessert-blueberry crisp from the Blue Smoke Bake Shop.
After we explored the bbq, we came back to my apartment and crashed for a little bit. At about 2, we left for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to see the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibit. When we got in, the sign posted said that the wait time was 1 and a half hours. So we tried to find the end of the line. Well, I would say that we probably walked through about half of the museum to even find the end of the line! It was indeed the LONGEST line I have EVER seen. Needless to say, we skipped the exhibit. I may go back this Saturday to see it, but I plan on getting there at 9, before the museum even opens.
After the museum, we met at a small Italian place with my dad and had dinner. It was nothing to write home about.
This morning, I dropped my parents off at the airport. I think they were sad to see me go, because they were both tearing up. And I was surprised that I was choked up too.
Since then, I have gotten a manicure and went to Duane Reade for a small errand. I guess for the rest of the evening I'll relax and get myself ready for my big first day of work tomorrow!
