Well we finished the show on Saturday and it was off to join Sherelene to celebrate our Anniversary. \u00a0We were married on February 14th, but celebrate our love every time we can get a way together. \u00a0I try to do something special for Sherelene when we get to have these evenings away from home so I booked a room at the Ritz Carlton on Central Park. \u00a0Now some of you may already know that I’m a big fan of Christmas. \u00a0I was so excited to be staying at the Ritz, I bought the Christmas movie Home Alone 2. \u00a0You may remember that the character Keven McCallister gets left in New York by mistake and checks into the Plaza hotel, next door to where we are staying, another classic old style, luxury hotel. \u00a0I wanted for Sherelene and I to have a nice dinner and then settle in to watch the movie and start getting in a Christmas mood!! \u00a0 Wow!, did I ever get help! \u00a0A freak, very early winter storm dumped several inches of show right on the park as we she was checking in, I joined her later after the Photo Plus show ended.<\/p>\n

The evening was incredible, just being with Sherelene would have made it that way, but we really had a lot of fun. \u00a0We took a cab uptown an had dinner at Bill’s Bar and Burgers at Rockefeller Center. \u00a0Reported to be one of the best burgers in New York, I had to rate it! \u00a0No suspense, it was really good, good enough to enter by top ten, be not up to Shake Shack, Milt’s, or Fava’s efforts. \u00a0I did award it a 4.5 which is a very good score, it was a highly enjoyable meal with my bride!<\/p>\n

Then it was over to St Patrick’s Cathedral for a moment to thank my Heavenly Father for His great blessings, o.k. and to do the HDR show below!<\/p>\n

Finally back in a cab and to the room for our movie! \u00a0We really are enjoying the extra day in New York together.<\/p>\n

Blessed,<\/p>\n

A little gift from the hotel, even if they got the number of years wrong, it was a very thoughtful touch!<\/p>\n
