|| bethesda fountain ||

// one of my all time favorite movies is one fine day, starring michelle pfeiffer and george clooney. there is a scene in the movie where their kids are going to be late for their soccer game so they are running through manhattan like crazy people in order to get to the park on time. they reach the fountain and it's flooded from the rain. michelle's character, mel is tiptoeing through the water when suddenly jack, played by george, scoops her up and starts running and jumping through the puddles with her in his arms. it's pretty much the cutest thing ever! anyways, since seeing that in the movie i've wanted to go to that fountain and well, we did!
// as we walked down the stairs, to our left there was a legit professional photo shoot taking place on the grass.

// underneath the stairs there was an acoustic band playing, they must have been from a church because they were singing all songs to the Lord. i look over at my mother and she has her hands lifted and she is praising the Lord. then i look over at dianne and jessica and they are both crying. i realize what an epic moment this really is.

// after our amazing bike tour we said "bye" to central park. mom and i realized we hadn't checked in to our hotel yet so we thought we should go do that before we grab dinner & boy, did we get a big surprise...

|| central park bike tour ||

// we pretty much got the best bike tour guide in the biz. he was from serbia and had the best accent ever! he was so animated and had the best sense of humor. you could tell it wasn't his first rodeo either. he knew the park like the back of his hand and spouted it off faster than i could keep up with. it was awesome!

// jess and i wanted to see the bethesda fountain really bad so our tour guide graciously stopped in the middle of the tour so we could walk down those famous steps and snap a few pics...

Strawberry Fields forever"

// across the street on central park west is the dakota, the building john lennon lived in and was shot in front of. the two lamps out front are always lit in his momory. his wife yoko ono still lives there today.

// after we sang a few beatles tunes in memory of john, we decided to take a bike tour of central park. we figured it would be the fastest way to see the whole park & boy was it...
