New York City

This past Saturday we drove down to New York City! I always expected NYC to be fun but I was blown away at the beauty. We came into the city via the George Washington Bridge which has a great view. The traffic was not to bad, we were quickly parked at Grand Central Station. They kids thought the garage was neat. You drop you car off and it is loaded onto a elevator and taken up to its space. This sure beats drive around for ever looking for a space big enough (The people that build parking lots here think all New Yorker must drive compact cars). Grand Central was very pretty and very busy. The ceiling is painted teal with all the constellations in gold and everything was marble. We were soon on the subway, which is not as bad I people may think. We parked about 11am and got back to the car at about 11pm. We had a very full day. We visited bowling Green Park, saw the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, St. Paul's Cathedral,Central Park, Fifth Ave, the Brooklyn Bridge, American Doll, All the toy store, M&M world, Hershey's, several other stores in Time Square, and much more. We bought hot dogs from a street cart and yummy New York Pizza from a pizzeria, we even had a cup of coffee in Trump Tower. We managed to leave with 6 kids that belonged to us with the size of the crowds were walked through this is a major accomplishment. We had a great day and would love go back and spend more time, there is so much to see. Scooter and I also decided that we need to get a trip back when it is just the two of us, one day!
