We had a 3 day weekend so we wanted to go to the beach...
Let's start this post off with a freakin' KICK!
...or at least a picture of a weirdo Asian at the beach doing weirdo tai kwon do
in the middle of the day on a busy beach.
Hai-Yah!
*KICK!*
*PUNCH!*
*RAISE THE FRIGGIN' ROOF!*
*GIVE ME A 'C'!*
oh man, this is EXACTLY why this place is called Guido Beach. This guys is soooo awesome.
Personally, this is my favorite pose of the day.
I thought it might be interesting to show you how far we have to travel. We start out in Manhattan on the top left, take about 3, usually 4 trains, depending on the weekend if there is construction on our line or not. We go through Brooklyn and Queens, past JFK Airport right before crossing a body of water onto the peninsula and finally on to the beach.
This is a shot of the train, mostly to show that huge surfboard and yes, the person that it belongs to is underneath the board. Yes, weirdos.
That night, we took a trip to Target, my most favorite place in the world, tied with Costco & the temple. This particular target is in a 5 story enormo warehouse where, yes, Costco is on the ground floor.
4TH OF JULY
We slept in then got up and made get this: whole grain banana chocolate chip pancakes. Seriously delicious. If you'd like, you can order them from me when I get home. I'm a pro. Anywho, we made a big breakfast with the pancakes, eggs, sausage, muffins, orange juice, and some fruit.
Some people like to relax while others cook and slave... :)
I went to a really great bookstore called Strand. This is the rare books floor. All leather bound books and smelling of rich mahogany, very important-ish.
This is the rare design book section. Very cool. Some of these books were hundreds of dollars.
This was a poster in Strand. It was...well, this is what it says if you can't see that small:
Introducing SIZE-QUEEN brand
transgender condoms
Strong enough for a man but made for
the woman in all of us.
What the crap right?
This shot is in Greenwich Village, the building to the left is the building that the tv show Friends used for their exterior shots. Note the crowd of people on the bottom right, it's an important stop on alot of tours.
Ooh. This is a cool store called Sockerbit, a Scandinavian candy store in the village.
Really cool and really yummy.
Busy corner...
Oh wow, this guy is wearing jelly shoes. Ga-ross.
Busy stairway out of the subway station...
Madison Square Garden, right by Penn Station. We caught a train over to Hoboken, NJ for a better view of the fireworks over the Hudson River.
This is our view towards Manhattan. They shoot the fireworks off of a pier.
I had to make a stop by Carlo's Bakery. I love this place!
Busy busy busy.
Hey that bald guy in the back looks familiar...
This is where Buddy sits with his peeps that come in to order custom cakes, ex: Snookie and him sat there when she ordered her cake with her 'poof' on it. Classic.
It's Mauro, Buddy's brother in law! I was nervous to ask him for a picture but I heard him telling some little girls that ofcourse he would take a picture with him and there was nothing to be nervous about so my friend Sophia and I asked and he was super nice!
aww... so nice.
it was 4th of july so they were super busy. they were almost sold out by the time i got there, right before close.
view towards Manhattan right before sun down.
wait for it...
yay! and the rockets red glare! the bombs bursting in air!
So that concludes my 4th of July weekend. It was a good one...
