day two! :D
places we went to:
- we used the subwaaay!
- Ground Zero - the whole area has been blocked off for construction of the new 9/11 museum, so we didn’t really get to see much
- 9/11 memorial preview - showed some of the exhibits and artifacts to be placed in the new memorial site
- St. Paul’s Church - where george washington got inaugurated. it’s across the street from the WTC. there’s a lot of 9/11 information in the church. the graveyard in the front is ancient. was a bit scary and intimidating >___<
- Wall St. - saw the New York Stock Exchange and passed by the Museum of American Finance. NY Stock Exchange is closed to the public. I WAS SO SAD! And I was disappointed that the area was super :[
- Goodburger - it was okay. Good, but not the best. OMG, customer service was terrible here! I felt stupid trying to order :[
- China Town - reminiscent of the one in SF. I felt like I was in Vietnam (Asia)/SF
- cheap snack place in China Town. $1 for chicken skewers and fried fish balls :]
- Prince St. Cafe - to use the wifi and grab coffee. IT WAS SO COLD OUTSIDE. yuum, Americano
- Little Italy
- Lombardi’s Pizza - wasn’t overly impressed. yelp got me really excited. high expectations, I suppose. it was good. the crust was amazing. the basil tasted great. but yeah.. again, they weren’t so nice. it’s a bit overhyped. hated how the toppings costed extra! :[ $20 with tip on a pizza with NO MEAT OMG :[ I like my protein.. :[
- THE MEATBALL SHOP - BEST PLACE WE WENT TO!!! service was awesome! ambience was suuuper nice! and tasty eats! sad part: we got some meatballs to go, and the oil spilled into our bag :[
- Museum of Sex - intriguing and educational. a lot of bad reviews on yelp. I was pleasantly surprised. it was informative and entertaining. the animal exhibit was awesome!!! along with the photograph of the necrophiliac duck xD wtf?!
- MACYS! - to check out the displays and briefly browse around
- 53rd and 6th St food cart for some TO GO~
- various gift shops
- back to Time Square~ <3

4:06 PM
so 6:06 PM in Chicago?
Delayed flights are no fun. An hour isn't so bad, but the layover is already three hours, the additional waiting time is a drag :[ At least bf gets to nap. Poor K has been tired all day :[ WAHH.
As an effort to be more productive, and to improve my writing( take more pictures), I have decided to take on the Project 365 challenge, which has become very popular among bloggers. Every day, I'll post a picture and a short blog, just because I used to write so much when I was younger. It helped my memory a lot. These days, it feels as though everything becomes a blur. Events and changes become blended into a large mess, and it is difficult to define specific moments. The drunken moments are especially hard to recall. I'm STILL trying to remember the specifics from months ago *ahem* :/
Today has been our travel day! We only slept about three hours, due to packing and last minute preparations, then we had to get ready to go to the airport. Z slept on my legs all night xD I woke up multiple times, wondering where the extra weight came from xD too cuuuutee!!
We arrived at the San Jose airport at 7:30 AM with croissants from K's parents :] it was delicious with our morning Jamba Juice. Croissants, lightly coated with sugar :D they really took care of me this weekend. It was so nice. I'm not used to it because it's usually family/relatives who do that. I'm so grateful!!
The flight to Chicago went well. We were unable to find a seat together, but someone was kind enough to move for us. It was super sweet~ I watched a baby get fed. A flight attendant held the baby while the mom spoon fed him. HE WAS SO ADORABLE! :D Bright, pretty eyes, and a lively, energetic smile.
In the back of my mind, I heard C saying, "OMG ANNA, I want one!" HAHA xD
Note: Small acts of kindness really do make your day :]
