Vacation Day 10: A Day in New York City
This morning I woke up way too early in a cushy bed in NYC. I didn’t want to leave! But alas I had big things ahead, and by big I mean the size of an elephant! I hopped on a subway to Coney Island for a very special eating contest that pitted three of Major League Eating’s top eaters versus three of the Ringling Brothers’ elephants. It was a tough and hilarious competition! (I’ll have a more thorough recap of this and everything else with way more pictures when I get back to Chicago!)
Afterwards I met up with fellow bloggers the Hungry Sisters and we got some Nathan’s hot dogs and I watched as they went on the Cyclone…I had my camera that I wouldn’t trust to be on it so I didn’t go…yeah, let’s use that as an excuse….
We then parted ways and I made my way back to Manhattan, walked through Bryant Park, and Times Square then took advantage of my cushy hotel bed. Sometimes you just have to take a vacation from vacationing, especially when you start thinking of all ten thousand of the photos you took that need to be edited when you get home. After a lazy day I took an impromptu walk through Central Park and grabbed some takeout Chinese food!
Tomorrow it is off to Coney Island again for the year’s biggest eating contest, the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest!
And guess who’s got herself a VIP ticket?
