Our Last Day in NYC

While in NYC we spent most of our time in the Times Square area. We also toured Madison Square Garden, went on 3 bus tours (south Manhattan, north Manhattan, and a night tour), as well as a harbor cruise (Statue of Liberty). We took in the Broadway Musical of the The Lion King and visited other various areas. We also took time to enjoy some NY style pizza, a deli, and of course hot dogs and pretzels from street vendors. New York is really big and busy. Everyone is in a hurry and often rude about it…but that’s just what they are used to…they don’t know any different. The kids thought the busy-ness was humourous and couldn’t get over the fact that people actually live like this all the time here. It was a little over-stimulating to the senses at times, but a good learning experience for us all. There’s a ton of things to do here…more than anywhere else in the world I am sure. Camden liked the food (especially the pretzels), Madison liked the shopping (she spotted a Hello Kitty store and nearly refused to leave the largest Toys R Us you’d ever see), and Boston liked the baseball game and taxis.
