A CENTRAL PARK HONEYMOON … 1958
Dick and I married on August 23,1958 in New York City. We didn't have the time nor money for a traditional honeymoon but living in Manhattan was just as good. Here we are in one of our favorite places … Central Park.
We loved it there and would sit for hours overlooking the lake, reading, talking about the future and just plain people watching. If we waited long enough the entire world would pass before us. Concerts were staged weekly and I remember that it was there that we saw Peter, Paul & Mary, The Mills Brothers and Johnny Mathis to name just a few.
The Children's Zoo was one of our favorite spots in Central Park and we would meet there often after our work was over for the day. Watching the children at the Zoo was almost as much fun as watching the animals.
I have so many fond memories of that time in my life. Just imagine … we had an ongoing honeymoon in Central Park and most of it didn't cost a dime.

This post brought a smile. Your experiences in and around New York sound magical in many ways!
Loved the picture of the newly weds. What a wonderful playground you had available and those concerts sounded amazing.
And it was ongoing and not just a few days away.
It looks to me like my comment on “Central Park Honeymoon” did post after all, Ginnie. I don’t know what’s going on with Blogger. Frustrating for sure.
