Day three shall be known as a lazy day, we all got a very late start. More than likely from the amount of walking and staying up so late visiting. Either way we made the best out of the day and Dennis treated Crystal and I to the observation deck of the Empire State Building, seeing New York City from that view is simply breathtaking. As you can probably tell from the picture of Crystal and me, it was extremely windy and cold outside but well worth it to witness the views in this elevated, panaramic fashion.
After soaking the scenery in for about an hour we headed back towards Brooklyn to meet up with Yuki to grab some dinner. We went to a pizza resturaunt, Fornino. The menu was a bit much for country folk like Crystal and I but we knew we were in for a treat with the aroma of delicious pizza cascading through the resturaunt. I’m assuming we visited Fornino during a non-peak time because it seemed they had more staff sitting/standing around than actually working. Our waitress was nice but only checked in on us once in between delivering the food and delivering the bill. One thing that is a sure fire way to irritate Crystal and myself is to let our diet coke run dry.
Overlooking the lack of personal attention, the pizza was delicious. The four cheese pizza was almost too much, even for a cheese fanatic like myself. I bet they could market the four cheese pizza as an over the counter laxitive. Dennis and Yuki ordered a combination pizza that featured fennel sausage, cherry tomatoes, spinache, and more. I tried a piece of that and it was a bit spicy but overal was quite tasty. Not being a fan of tomatoes I was very surprised to find that I actually liked the cherry tomatoes on their pizza. Overal, day three wasn’t as action packed as the first two days but we had a wonderful time and it was probably a much needed break from the busy, non-stop couple of days we had prior.

We’re actually home now and yes, we had a wonderful time. I’ve been very tardy at getting these posts done. I have one more post for New York to complete and then I’ll add the post with the pictures of my brand new nephew. Thanks Nicole.
