Early morning flight.
Smoothie truck.
View from our hotel room.
Playing games while waiting for dinner at Juniors.
Subway riding on our way to the Statue of Liberty.
Not quite awake yet!
We happened upon the start of the Women's World Cup Champions Parade.
We got to see a ticker tape parade in NYC!
This float had the trophy on it.
Riding the ferry.
When Alex was in 5th grade I was in charge of Immigration Day, where we simulated a trip through Ellis Island. It was very cool to come to NYC and see it in person.
Dan getting him some rice pudding. The kids had ice cream instead.
Alex took tons of pictures of this tower. Happy tourist!
Sunset at Top of the Rock.
Dan and Ryan went on a flight simulator. Ryan liked to ride upside down and backwards!
Two dizzy guys!
While Dan and Alex were at Billy Joel, I took these two to see the Blue Man Group. I never made it to a 'Broadway' musical, but this was so fun that it doesn't matter!
This is why we are in NYC! I am so glad that the choir brought us here. We had such a great time; we never would have picked to come here otherwise.
Bragging rights shirts!
Central Park.
Chess in Central Park. Dan took the kids to finish the scavenger hunt...
and I went to Carnegie Hall to learn the backstage stuff.
The staff was very kind and accommodating for our huge group.
The kids and teenagers sat in these boxes to perform. The music was much improved by having them sit in these seats.
Macey and Madi just before drop off.
More delicious burgers. This time at Bill's.
Catching the subway home before we had to get dressed up.
Elevator fun!
I was volunteering at Carnegie Hall during the black out. Here we are trying to put all the participants on one street before we begin dismissal. The staff was hopeful the power would come back on in time to resume, but it got too late so the show was cancelled. But they made the news and went social media viral, so more than just our parents and grandparents were able to experience the power of MCO music.
A mom is never really on vacation!
Lego store. Batman watching over us all.
Hippy painter guy.
Sphinx at the Met.
A Homer painting.
A Tiffany's glass window.
Alex and I also went to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs!
The Homer (Simpson) burger at the Stardust Cafe.
Our last nights activity. Off Broadway play called "The Puffs". It was a spoof on the hufflepuffs from Harry Potter.
While Dad was recuperating, we were eating bagels!
Last visit to Time's Square.
Juggling in Bryant Park.
We also played Uno and tabble tennis.
3rd trip to the Lego store.
Good-bye, New York!
