As promised, here are more photos of our excursion last Saturday.
We went to the South Street Seaport, a stone's throw from Wall Street. It was mostly a tourist trap but it was fun to see the ships and be so close to the water. Plus, it had a great view.
When I saw the tugboat, I couldn't stop myself from going "toot toot!" But I wouldn't do the motion for the picture. Sorry, Adam.
We checked out the restaurants on the pier but didn't find anything reasonable. Then we wandered down a cobble-stone street, past some bars that were hopping, and stumbled upon this restaurant, Carmine's. It's over 100 years old! It's hard to see in the picture, but it looked really...piratey from the outside. Inside, the low lighting and thick wooden furniture added to the feeling that we were on board a ship—the Black Pearl? And we ate some of the best food I've had here: clams, scallops, shrimp, and fish fillet, with spaghetti to break up the fishiness and garlic bread to sop up all the mouth-watering sauces. I'd been craving seafood for a while and I was in pregnancy heaven.
I think Adam's thinking, how much is this going to cost? And I'm just excited to eat seafood.

Yay for pictures! We went to the Seaport on Saturday based totally on your recommendation. It was fun. There were...a lot of boats. :) It was pretty touristy, yes, but the boats were awesome. I think it might be worth it to pay to go the museum just so I can tour the ships.
Hey Em. Looks like you guys had fun. It'd be interesting to live in a place where people love to go on vacation. So what are you having? I'm going to guess girl. I'm dying to know. You can give me a call anytime btw. I'll try to call you too.
So fun!! But we need to get real. I cam on today to see what you are having. So WHAT ARE YOU HAVING???
Love the Seaport! You should definitely check out Carmine's italian restaurant on the upper west side - we went there for Thanksgiving and it was amazing! BTW, I heard you are having a girl! We're twinners!
