For April vacation this year, we decided to tour NYC for a few days and we had a great time! We spent the night in Rye, NY at my college roommate's house and then took the train in from there, which was an adventure for the kids. We checked in to our hotel in Times Square and found out that the Pope was going to be going down 5th Avenue! We waited
a little over an hour amongst thousands of people, listening to lots of singing, but finally he came by in his Popemobile. It was on Kelly's “bucket list” to see the Pope so this was a great plus on the trip. The kids got a great view - as we held them up - my view however was of the back of Jack's shirt. The kids were disappointed our pictures weren't good but we keep reminding them that the best picture will always be in their memories. From there the adventure started - we trekked across Central Park to see the Museum of Natural History, visited the Turtle Pond, the Central Park Zoo and the Carousel. We also went on a boat tour and got a great view of the Statue of Liberty and then we took the double decker bus tour around the city. We visited South Street Seaport, St. Paul's church and Ground Zero, St. Patrick's cathedral, took in the sites from the 70th floor of 30 Rock, walked through Chinatown, had breakfast in a diner with singing waitresses, lunch in Hell's Kitchen, had dinner in Little Italy and Greenwich Village, and so much more....we really got around. We had to go to ESPN Zone for dinner for Jack one night so he could get his Red Sox fix and of course we went to the American girl Place for Mimi. Mimi wants to live there on the weekends now and Jack just wants to live at ESPN Zone. - Tim and Kelly
