Thursday, Day 1 in New York

Thursday we left St. Louis bright and early and arrived in New York in time for lunch. We went to Times Square and ate at Planet Hollywood. Then we went to Toys R Us, Rockefeller Center, Nintendo World, American Girl store (lots of protesting on that one!!!), M&M world, Hersheys store, went on the bus tour and played Rock Band with Crazy Dave at Game Stop.


Planet Hollywood

Toys R Us - Empire State Bldg made out of Legos. The pictures here don't do it justice - it's HUGE

Rockefeller Center - they were starting on the tree when we were there.


Nintendo world was a huge hit! The boys were in here for a very long time. They loved it!

We wore Linda out and dropped her off at the hotel to go back to Times Square and the boys insisted on going into Game Stop. So, I caved and we went downstairs and a guy was just getting ready to play Rock Band and invited the boys to play. They were a bit shy at first, but he encouraged them and told them how much fun it was (they had played before...I think they were intimidated by him, not the game), so we sat in the basement playing Rock Band with "Crazy Dave" for quite a while. His sweat band had "Crazy Dave" written in perm. marker so that's what we called him.

The M & M Store? I think maybe mom's chocolate addiction had something to do with that visit :) I hope they had a diet coke to go along with it!
It all looks like fun.

your photo of the empire state building is amazing. you should blow it up and hang it on your wall-- it was such a neat perspective and the way it's illuminated is haunting-- very cool. and I had no idea they had such a thing as a nintendo store! I want to go!

The American Girl store? hahaha. Even Liv would have put up a fight at that. Even having a girl sometimes doesn't mean you get a "girly" girl!
