The Crew: Saturday in New York

Ok, just noticed the pictures are in reverse order...oh well. Saturday was a fun filled day! We woke up and walked to the Empire State Building, but the visibility was zero, so we rode the Sky Ride instead (it simulated a helicopter flight over New York) boys enjoyed it. I decided it wouldn't be a complete trip to New York without riding the subway, so I drug all three of them to the subway - it was hot and stinky and they were not at all amused until Ty found a dead rat on the tracks - which of course I took a picture of. We headed over to Central Park and went shopping on 5th avenue at FAO Schwartz, Trump Tower (where we had lunch), and the Disney store. We also went to St Patricks Cathedral and St Thomas Church. The weather cleared up so we went back over to the Empire State Bldg, got stuck in the elevator, and when we finally reached the top couldn't see a thing. We did it though! That night the boys and I saw a very entertaining street performer who had painted himself a bronze color and would do the "robot" with sound effects if you put money in his can. We also hit Macys and it was total insanity...so busy!!

At the top of Empire State Building...we were sitting in a cloud - couldn't see a thing.

St Patricks Cathedral - it was just beautiful.

FAO Schwartz...

There were lots of demos - we stopped for a magic show, rode scooters and tried the Myachi - it's a bean bag for your hands. Ty loved it and bought one.
