After having a late night out the night before, Joey and I were a little slow moving this morning. The convention was having a softball game in Central Park that Joey was really looking forward to. Our hotel was really close to Central Park so we were able to just walk over.

In typical Brianna and Joey fashion, we got really lost locating where we were supposed to go for the game. We ended up doing a lot of walking around Central Park. I didn't mind too much, because it was so gorgeous outside!
The producer of the show, Spot, is a yoga instructor. He offered a yoga session for those that didn't want to play softball. I decided to try it out. Yoga is not my thing and I don't think it ever will be. I did manage to complete the hour long session.
Joey had a great time playing softball with the guys. They got a couple of games in. I got to live one of my life long dreams, I went for a run in Central Park! It was everything I dreamed of and more. There is so many people running through Central Park on a Saturday morning that it looks like a race is going on. I only did two miles because it was really hot and I was terrified of getting lost and not finding my way back. I am glad I got to run in such a beautiful and iconic place.

The softball games didn't end until the afternoon. By that time Joey and I were STARVING! We had only had smoothies that morning. There was a restaurant, Jason's Pickles that I had been dying to try while we were there. I looked it up and realized that we were within walking distance to it. We walked right over and got a table. The food was absolutely amazing! It was southern food and fried chicken. I got some smothered chicken dish that was one of the best things I have had in a long time. It hit the spot!

After we ate, we headed back to the hotel to shower and get ready for the night. For some reason, I didn't take many pictures of this night. It was the last night of the convention, and we all met in Times Square at an Italian restaurant for a last dinner together. Times Square is beyond crowded on a Saturday night. We had to make our way through masses of people. The restaurant was some old restaurant, but I was not impressed by the food at all especially for the price. It was nice to spend one last night with all the new friends we made. After dinner, we went to a rooftop bar for one last hurrah with the group. The bar overlooked the Empire State building which was pretty neat to see at night. We said goodbye to the group and headed back to our hotel.
