Visiting the Bronx, Part Deux
Quick side note: I went with DCSC and Fred to the High Heel Races and it was an awesome good time. So many gorgeous outfits and the hotness factory was off the charts! Hopefully DCSC will have the pictures posted in a few days…
Back to the Bronx…
The other memorable part of my visit to my friend is the trip we took to the Botanical Gardens. Again, I have a problem with the price. You could either buy a combination ticket for $13 (students $11), which includes admission to grounds, conservatory, children’s garden, rock and native plant gardens, tram tours, and some other crap, or you could buy one ticket that allowed you to wander the grounds but none of the fun stuff for something like $7 ($2 for students). Well, my friend and I only wanted to check out the conservatory and the grounds (TheTurnip being only 3 months old wouldn’t noticed if he missed out on the children’s garden) and we both had student ids with no expiration dates on them. Imagine our surprise when we got to the conservatory and found out that admission there was $7 for students! What the hell?! I wish they had listed all the prices for all the “extras” at the beginning so we could decide what kind of ticket to buy. Bastards.
Anyways, it was actually a lovely time there. Lots of trees, plants, and whatnot. Lots of walking. With a stroller. I kept referring to it as the deathmarch.
Apparently at about 3 months is when the olfactory system is developing or active, so we were lifting TheTurnip to all the flowers so he could smell them. And let me tell you, there are A LOT of flowers in the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. Woof!
