New York! New York!

We finally made it up to New York. We had the wonderful opportunity to go just the two of us for two days this last weekend. Thank you Celia!!! We had a blast, I thought I would share just a few highlights and anyone who really cares for details is welcome to ask.

We did all the usual stuff...

Time Square

Hershey Factory

M&M store


Statue of LibertyEmpire State Building (for free with no lines mind you, its great to know people!!!)


Rockefeller Square

Central Park

Broadway



Some extras that were great memories....

We loved our hotel!

We saw a man get arrested (first time for everything!)

We had dinner at a great Jazz club where Phil got to show off his moves to the live band...



Phil had a warm welcome from the pigeons the first day! I thought this was pretty funny, he did not.


Things we learned...

We don't know how to read bus schedules.
It all about who you know.
The rail system will get you anywhere if you have a map.
A nice hotel is worth the extra distance.
No one in New York wants to help you find anything.
The most helpful people are usually lost too!
There are long lines for everything.
New York is beautiful at night.
Two days is not long enough.
Two days is definitely expensive enough!
Madison really could care less who takes care of her as long and she gets her food and sleep!!!


We missed her smiling face but at least she benefited from the experience too, she had all the attention she could dream of and then some all weekend. Plus even more once mom and dad got home. I think she may need a few years to grow into the souvenir, maybe by the time it fits her she will care when we leave her for the weekend...
