Just another night in Manhattan under the spring stars and explosive amount of trees...

Life is funny as I already knew this but I am continually reminded.

Yesterday I had a picnic in Central Park with a friend we will cal him MR. x from this point on. What great romantic fun we had. Our journey started by meeting each other outside of the train station and then we proceeded to walk to the park together. Before meeting though I sneaked and stopped by a Bakery called Two Little Red Hens which was highly recommended. When I walked in my eyes were dancing with delight upon all the yummilicious treats and atmosphere. The place was just as perfect as could be. Deciding on the treats was an easy decision, I selected a pretty good mix of mini cupcakes, ginger cookie and a lemon bar. Seeing how I had no idea if Mr. X even likes treats and if so which ones so now you see the reason for the variety.I figured that would be nice to bring some delightful treats for a delightful person, so thats just what I did.

On our way to the park We stopped at Dean and Delucas to get our picnic yummies ( might I ad it is only one of my fave markets ever). We got crackers w quacamoli, water and sandwiches. It was apparent by the wine bag he was holding that he had already stopped to picked up wine of some sorts :). We joyfully left D & Ds laughing and talking our way right to Central Park. Once we were inside the park we walked around a bit until we saw the perfect bright green grassy area with a perfect opening under a variety of beautiful and shaded trees. Once we got closer we noticed that most of the bright green lushish grass did not exist and we were cracking up because from farther away it looked so full. After a bit of cracking up we found a grassy spot and put my Hello Kitty blanket down for us to picnic on. He thought it was funny I had a HK blanket but I did not share in his humor as I am used to HK stuff and dont think he is much, used to HK that is.

After enjoying not only the food and wine but lots and lots of laughs and chats the sun went down and it was dark. Once again we seemed to burn through hours together while feeling like we just got there. I think we both could have stayed on that blanket under the trees and stars for maybe i dont know..... forever! We dances a bit while listening to my i pod, MR. X gazing at me with the sweetest smile ever. By this time we had pretty much finished off everything including the champaign but before doing so...................
Mr X noticed something behind me as we were sitting facing each other. So he pulled me up quickly cause it was a big ol raccoon!! Who was coming right for us. At that point I was like ahhhh to the raccoon to scare it away. Well it worked for about 0 seconds! He came right back and then another one was with him! There were New York City Central Park Raccoons coming to picnic with us and quickly might I ad. Thank God for the quick thinking of Mr. X who took two of the bottles and started to clang them together to scare them off. Which worked too but only because Mr.x chased them while clanging until they ran across the street! Wow that was so close for us. can you imagine if we would have gotten attacked by CP Raccoons ooo no!! We agreed that was definatly a sign that our time there was up. So we quickly...ok really quickly loaded all of our stuff up and headed off into the New York City night.......
