Buzz and Woody take a bite out of the Big Apple

The premier of their 3rd film together opened this weekend. Buzz and Woody were in Times Square to check out their new billboard. Along with them came a bevy of beautiful women. AKA "The Nieces" Mallory, Alaina and Claire.
We traveled through lower Manhattan/Chinatown/Little Italy in search of deals on sunglasses and bags with no avail. We hopped a cab to THE PLAZA for a spot of tea.

We traveled up towards the Met and browsed their book store and then walked through Central Park. You couldn't have asked for a nicer day. Low humidity, sunshine, light breeze. It was beautiful.
Then back to 5th avenue and seeing the sights
"uhh Buzz, I don't think we're in Andy's room any more. "
Well that's all for today. See you across the country in July for our road trip.

Buzz and Woody in Boston

The daring duo head to Beantown. We came in on Friday and stayed with Kristin and David Shapiro and their two sweetheart children Jack and Brennan. They were kind enough to give us lodging as they were preparing to head to Ireland on Saturday. We had a wonderful dinner cooked by David and great conversation. I  have to say each time we see them it makes me wish we were a tad closer. Would love to be available to watch Brennan and Jack and also just chat with Kristin and David. Our niece, Alaina was with us and her comment was "What a great family." I couldn't agree more.
As they headed out the door on Saturday. We watched a bit of world cup USA vs. England, then headed out the door ourselves to see Boston. We took the mass transit into town. A short walk from the Shapiro abode.


 
Waiting for the train.

We came into the downtown of Beantown and walked about in the rain.

We headed home and were excited for our next day out to Fenway Park. BoSox vs. the Phillies
Thanks David for hooking us up with some amazing seats behind home plate and undercover so no rain fell on us. : )
The boys after the game.
Woody couldn't believe we were at Fenway and that the Phills won, as the previous two games the Phills were not so fortunate.
Good bye Fenway. Thanks for a great time.
Now to Cambridge


On the Harvard campus.
