Ted Visits Brooklyn, Princeton, and the NYC Christmas Tree!

Ted finished out his whirlwind trip to NYC by heading over to Brooklyn, Princeton, and the Christmas Tree.

I am told that in this photo, Brooklyn should be in the background. I can't see it, maybe you can?

Next, Ted made his way over to check out Ivy League Princeton. If only turtles could make it into college...




And our little turtle made some time to check out the changing East Coast leaves. On the West Coast, the leaves don't change color. They are either on the tree or off of it.

Though you might not know it, Ted is a bit of a foodie. So he took some time to check out House of Cupcakes in New Jersey, where Food Network films Cupcake Wars. M, Ted's NYC buddy suggests the Oreo cupcake. Ted, of course, got the turtle cupcake.






Finally Ted had to head back to NYC, just in time to see the great tree lit...


I can only assume from the photos that the area was packed with spectators who wanted to watch the giant NYC Christmas Tree get lit in Rockefeller Center. (See our earlier post for more info on the tree and topper!)


And, in all of its lit-up glory:



Remember to stay tuned in the coming days/weeks: Ted has already arrived in Guadalajara and Tina is soon to be on her way there as well. They expect to be visiting the fabulous Sunday market and the beach over the next two weeks! Stay Tuned!!!

Ted Checks Out Wall St.!

 In keeping up with current events, Ted had to visit Wall St. Although there doesn't seem to be any protesters in these shots, the police presence is unmistakable!








Ted Visits the WTC Memorial, Bryant Park, and Little Italy!

I know we have gotten a little bit behind during the Christmas season, due to a second job I have taken up for the season. However, Ted has been as busy as ever: visiting the signs around NYC before heading to Mexico for Christmas.

Here he is, at the 9/11 memorial:

This photo shows the construction currently taking place at the new memorial building, seen here almost finished.


Ted also visited another famous ice skating rink: Bryant Park!

And Ted took a stroll around Little Italy:
