Hayden Planetarium in New York City
I know this might sound like a cliché statement but honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever taken was when I went to New York. And yeah, in addition to sounding cliché I must also sound kind of pathetic because I’ve only been there once in my entire twenty eight years of existence. What do you make of that? Anyway, I still want to talk about it because I’ve really been thinking about that trip lately and want to try and find a way to get back. There are plenty of great theatre packages available at some of the luxury New York City hotels and I really want to look into some of the possibilities. I want my good friend Cheryl to go with me, and part of my method of talking her into it will be to tell her about some of the great deals I find.
Anyway, the first trip, ha okay, I mean the only trip I’ve ever taken to New York happened six years ago and I went with my two best friends from astronomy class, Denise and Candy. We went to the Hayden Planetarium, I was the only one of the group that wasn’t planning on pursuing a career in astronomy though I really loved the class and have remained something of an amateur astronomer in my adult life. The planetarium is located in a beautiful building that kind of issued forth a sense of awe before we even entered. I found this to be common with most things in New York, which just seemed to take on a sense of grandeur and significance.
The planetarium and museum are located on Central Park West and actually, it turned out that there was really quite a bit to do there in the park. I always imagined a pretty empty open space with a few joggers and fountains. I couldn’t have been more wrong. There are tons of people all through the park and there was a dance performance going on while we were there as well as a lot of other stuff. That reminds me, I want to spend a whole day exploring the park when I go this time. Also, I hear the planetarium has a new show that’s supposed to be pretty incredible and is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. That reminds me that I used to have a desire to be the narrator for the planetarium presentation. When I was in school I couldn’t imagine a better job.
