So here is a short recap of our last day... we decided to take the train from Grand Central Station which was a quick subway ride from our hotel. The train ride was lovely and we really enjoyed the time to read the newspapers and talk. We were picked up by a Lincoln Towncar taxi in Rye, NY to drive us into Purchase and the PepsiCo Headquarters. What an amazing place! I was so pleased to get to see all of the sculptures that Don Kendall had amassed for the 145 acre compound. We had a guided tour by Karen which told us all about each sculpture and how is was acquired and how the gardens were planted around each placement. She was so knowledgeable and you could really tell this was the favorite part of her job at PepsiCo!!! Jodie Turner was our other consort for the day. She drove us in to Rye after the tour and took us to lunch. We ate at NewMoon and had some amazing Asian food and I enjoyd a wonderful Watermelontini - yummy! We took the train home and napped instead of reading this time :-) When we returned to our hotel we decided to go see a movie and a dinner out for our last night. We saw "Wanted" vs. a Disney or Pixar film which is what we normally see... and we loved it. Totally our kind of movie - thumbs up! We then ate at Juniors which is another great deli in NYC and I had the best eggsalad BLT ever. We finished up with strawberry cheesecake back at the hotel. Aaahhhh NYC, what a wonderful place to visit and I couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in the big 4-0.
