Day 2, NYC

-Day 2, NYC-

March 22, 2007

Today, the babies wore their matching cheetah print suits to take on NY!

We woke up and ate WAY TOO MUCH in the hotel’s restaurant. Dan had a conference call then meetings for the rest of the day (until 10:30 tonight!), so the kids and I braved the city again! This time, we headed to TIMES SQUARE! We had to walk for about 30 minutes, but it was worth the wait!

We saw so many cool landmarks! Here are some of the streets we toured…

We went by the ESPN Zone...

And here we are in the "Crossroads of the World!"

We saw Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, Virgin Records, and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co!

We visited the Toys R Us Headquarters in Times Square!! We rode the ferris wheel inside the store!!

We even got to see the Easter Bunny!!!!! We had pictures taken, but the "picture of a picture" is pretty blurry...

There was a HUGE dinosaur in the store, and it roared, and moved around! Avery thought it was real! Courtney said, "Look Avery! It's a T-Rex!!" and Avery said, "No it's not! It's a dinosaur!!!!" :) Courtney was certain it was looking right at her the whole time!

There was an amazing display of things built from Legos. Some of the models were of the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building (complete with a moving gorilla climbing to the top!), and true to NYC, a hot dog vendor cart!

Avery went bonkers in Barbie's dream house... Of course, she wanted one of everything!

Superman was holding up a truck in the ceiling of the store!!

We saw the Fox News Astrovision screen in the center of Times Square!

We heard a huge racket, and on top of the Hard Rock cafe was Gene Simmons from the band KISS, with a bunch of Hard Rock waitresses, scantilly clad of course, hanging on him.

We even visited the Hershey's store on Broadway! We had seen all these chocolates before though, so we went to Godiva later on!!

This is a view of the streets during the daytime! We are professionals at navigating them, now!

Now we're back at the hotel, resting up for a full day of touring tomorrow, starting bright and early... and this time, Daddy's coming along! :)
