On Sunday morning Sadie and I decided we needed a little more adventure in our lives (and that mommy needed a little break in hers) so we headed out early for Manhattan. We emerged from the subway at 59th and Fifth, just across from the Plaza. Sadie was delighted to see all the horses pulling carriages.
Our first stop was the huge Picasso bronze beside the Paris theatre and then down the block to the windows at Bergdorf. They were lovely - this year's theme is "the Arts". They did a great job.
Then we strolled down Fifth Ave. and stopped for a giant pretzel. After that it was on to Saks where we went inside to see the crazy sparkly winter wonderland hanging from the first floor ceiling and then back outside to saunter along the front windows which are fairytale themed this year. Sadie especially liked the big doggie lying in bed wearing a bonnet and reading the newspaper (much to the dismay of Ms. Red Ridinghood).
After that, we crossed the street to Rockefeller Center and braved the crowds to get a better view of the very very big tree.
Finally we walked back up Fifth through the crowds which were, by then, pretty overwhelming and Sadie got a free bonbon at Lindt.
It was a pretty terrific morning.
