**Many of these photos are courtesy of my pals Kylie and Rebbie- they were much better at snapping the memories than I was.. probably because they did a coolpix ad campain..
First things first.. Harold came to visit!!! twice actually. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera out the first trip so I only have pictures from his second trip out here.. But here are a few pics of our weekend together..
We went to a Yankee's baseball game
Harold's best friend Kent lives in NYC and came with his lovely friend Jillian
The game was FIVE hours long and we got a little tired..
But still happy to be at the game!
Next day we played frisbee golf in Central Park
Kent and Harold mapping out the course
Look at that form..
Like most of my throws, I think this one went in a completely different direction than intended.
I was mostly just there for moral support and encouragement.
Unfortunately these are basically the only shots I got of our weekend together but we had a great time and did a lot!
Now onto more highlights of my NYC adventure:
We went to free concerts. This concert was on Governor's Island and while I did enjoy the Morning Bender's concert I think I was more excited about the island itself. It was an abandoned island right off of New York City and they have only recently reopened it to the public. Apparently it was used early on for the exclusive use of New York's royal governors and then later used as U.S. army post. But for the past while it has not been used for anything. It was weird to see a bunch of buildings, schools, homes, and even a hospital no longer in use. We were convinced the place was haunted at that we would never get off the island. But alas I am here to tell the tale of Governor's Island...and so is wikipedia
This is a majority of our advertising group that was in NYC together. We spent many nights in Union Sqaure- a cool little area where a lot of NYU college kids and other people hang out here at the corner. I enjoyed just hanging out here and people watching. One of the times I was here there was a rap off between two guys and it was so cool to watch them go at it.
We saw some shows. My best friend Sarah came out to visit and we all went and saw the musical Jersey Boys on Reb's birthday. It was such a fun show and we all loved it. The music and acting was great.
After Jersey Boys we went to celebrate Reb's birthday at the Stardust around the corner. Let's just say the musical lives on here.. basically the waiters sing to you as they are working and it is hilarious. The food is terrible and waaay overpriced but it might just be worth it for the experience. 4/6ths had a great time but missed the other 2/6ths of the candy shoppers.
These are just a few of the highlights of being in NYC for part of the summer. As you can see we had a great time! I am happy to be back in Utah now but definitely miss those fun summer days in New York City. (but not missing that sweaty humidity)
Well congrats to those who made it down this far.. I hope you feel that my lack of posting is made up with this super loooong post.

Fun kel kel! I've been to that restaurant I think. The waiters stand on the tables and sing to you right? Was jersey boys full of terrible language for you? I saw it in San Fran with my dad and the f word was used every other word. But it was definitely entertaining! Love NY and love you!
