Day 2 in NYC. We started the day walking up to Time Square. WOW!!! Fron the beginning when we got here we knew everything was big, but WOW. I'm not even sure how to explain Time Square. There was so much to see. We didn't stay there a super long time because we wanted to get up to the Natural History Musuem shortly after it opened (to avoid long lines). I just loved the Musuem! It was a ton of fun to see the different exhibits. Afterwards we headed over to Central Park. It was pretty cool walking through and seeing people rowing boats in the huge pond. There were different area's that we got to see and the park was huge!!! We only got to see part of it,too. We started heading back down and walked down 5th Ave. When we got down by Rockefeller Center we walked into this chocolate store. We thought 'maybe they'll have a sample'. Pretty funny thinking on our part. This chocolate was $88/lb. We had to go back to the hotel early in the afternoon because we were going to see a Broadway Play. When we left for the play my daughter wanted New York pizza so we headed back up towards Time Square to the Theater District. We ended up at this small pizza place where we could buy pizza by the slice. Man was it good!!! We've eaten some real NYC food! We went and saw The Book of Mormon. She's always wanted to come to NY NY, along with see a play. We were there early so we went to use the bathroom and walk around the theater. When we came back Marlin was talking to the people sitting next to use. Low and behold there were from Pocatello!!! They didn't live in Idaho any longer, but had graduated from Poc. One girl was now living in London and the other in Connecticut. We could not believe it. What are the odds so sitting right next to someone so close. The play was amazing. If anyone ever goes to NY you have to see a play. After the play we stopped down by Time Square again and ate some dessert. Felt no guilt due to all the walking we've done. Time Square at night is completely different than the day. We got to see the Naked Cowboy. When I tried to get a picture of Malory he yelled out to her to come over, but she wouldn't! It was pretty funny. Another exhausting day!!! |
