A day in NYC...

We decided to head to New York City for the day on Saturday.  We are only a two hour drive from there and don't spend nearly enough time there.  The kids love the city, the sights, the sounds, the unique people (aka naked cowboy), the food...  it's all such an experience.  Especially now that we live in such a small town, it makes it extra "interesting" to visit.  We spent the day walking around and went to the top of the Empire State Building, we haven't done that since before the kids were born.  It's always great to see the city from so high up.  It was really neat to see the Freedom Tower (at Ground Zero) beginning to take shape, last time we saw it, it was only a foundation.







We ventured to Times Square, which is always a crazy adventure on a Saturday, as it's the most crowded place in New York.














One of the fun things about Times Square is you never know what you are going to see.  On Saturday they had a bunch of little Fiat's parked, and you could just sit in them, which the kids thought was great.  They are such tiny little cars they are kids size.








We stopped in M&M World before heading back home, it's always so much fun filling your own bag of M&M's!



We found this fabulous deli/cafe not too far from the Empire State Building, it's so nice to find an affordable and yummy place in the city.



We had such a fun day, can't wait to go back!
