Our trip to NJ and NYC has come and gone (way too fast.)
Summary:
Flight out: landed early, easy trip. No problems.
Saturday: Ellis Island (Amazing) and the Statue of Liberty (Cool, but like most monument attractions, it isn’t on my must see for a second trip)
Sunday: Midtown NYC: Times Square, Madison Square Gardens, Fashion Avenue, Broadway, Madison Avenue, the Harley Davidson Store (for Jay), Radio City Music Hall, M & M World, the World’s largest toy store (Toys R Us), Hershey Store, Rockefeller Center (and a trip to the “Top of the Rock”, which was very cool!), Ed Sullivan Theater, the theater that RENT played in for many years (now Guys and Dolls), Central Park, Empire State Building, ESPN Zone for Jay’s birthday dinner and LOTS AND LOTS of walking.
Monday: recouperate, celebrate Robin’s birthday, meet some of their friends, cookout, wander Westfield, games in the yard, etc.
Tuesday: WTC site and nearby church, Gucci purse purchase in Chinatown (from the secret backroom collection), Little Italy, Greenwich Village, SoHo and celeb sightings (didn’t know who any of them were, I fail. Robin was super excited about getting her picture with two characters from “Gossip Girl”.)
Wednesday: Head home. Plane delayed slightly. Landed safely, all is well.
