A CENTRAL PARK HONEYMOON … 1958
I've
been working on a project lately that concentrates on the years 1943
to 1958 and it's really brought back a slew of memories. Not least
among them is when 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.

Holidays are special but they go by quickly. When you can build special places and times into your life like that, it is very special.
You can't get much better than that for a honeymoon. Good music and great scenery.
Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a very well written article.
I will make sure to bookmark it and return to read more
of your useful information. Thanks for the post.
I'll certainly comeback.
What a progressive and wonderful idea Central Park was. It is a wonderful place to view all sorts of people from all over. Great place for a honeymoon.
I’ve only been to the park once, but loved it. It is an oasis in the midst of the vibrant city. You were fortunate to have that time in your life, Ginnie.
From my friend Possum...
I am so totally not a city girl! I can't imagine life without trees and grass, flowers, water...
But you found your own special spot in spite of being surrounded by all the brick and concrete, steel and glass, and gazillions of people! YIKES!
In my few visits to THE CITY, I never got to Central Park, so I never think about it, but how lucky you were to have it!
Besides, honeymoons in faraway places are so over-rated! You had each other- and Central Park! Perfect!
Nice post - and a good reminder to be happy where you are!
Thanks, Ginnie!
Who needs to have traveed anywhere when you had so much to see and enjoy so closeby in NYC. Central Park offered a lot of diversions and still does.
I really like reading a post that can make
men and women think. Also, thanks for allowing for
me to comment!
