The definition of OLD

[jenn_unplugged]

So we're in New York City tonight, staying in a hotel one block from the ball drop site on Times Square. We got up at 4:30 am and flew here with our 2yo son, and it was in the back of our minds that if it worked out, we might venture out close to midnight and go see it in person.

Of course, Carter fell asleep around 8:00, and Doug and I are so tired that the idea of hauling him out into the cold to wait hours to see something we can watch perfectly well on TV is just... no. I have my PJs on, I'm warm, my baby is asleep, and I will watch that ball drop on NBC, just like I would've done if I'd been anywhere else. Good thing that's not the main purpose of our visit, heh.

Times Square was already crazy at by 7:30. It was incredibly hard to get back to our hotel after dinner, as it was in the "zone".



I did procure a pair of New Year's glasses, though, and got a shot of me in them in the hotel lobby. That's as close as I'll get to Times Square for now!



Happy New Year, everyone!

As I recall when we lived there, you can't even get close if you go out the last hour, so I'm sure you will get a better view right where you are.

Haha...That's awesome! Love the glasses. Man, if that's the definition of old then I'm totally screwed...I'm not even somewhere cool like NY...hubs, Zennah and I are sittin' at home and will also be watching the ball drop on TV. ;) I'm nursing bub while she naps! But I'm sure she'll be up when the ball drops (we're on my husbands 2nd shift schedule). Have fun and Happy New Year!!
