We took the subway to the hole in the ground caused by the collapse of the world trade centers. Ryan wanted to know what everybody was looking at. The best explanation was “a lot good guys are working to clean up a mess caused by the bad guys”.
We then walked down to Wall Street and continued to stack at random hotdog and pretzel vendors along the street. We made it down to Battery Park to look at the Statue of Liberty. Grandpa found some musical tiles on the ground that Ally loved to jump up and down on to make noise.
Our New York tour guide then took us to the subway to go to China Town so Scott could buy a fake Rolex. However we got on the express train and found ourselves going to Times Square. The kids got to go in Toy’s r Us. It was huge. The kids rode the ferris wheel and their grandparents purchased each of them incredibly annoying noise making dogs that are very cute, but way too annoying to deserve a second set of batteries. We went to the top of the tower in Rockefeller Center and got to see the full city.4PM – made our way back to Jon’s apartment to take naps. The kids slept until 6:30PM.
When we got up from the naps we found the rest of the family had already made their way to the bar around the corner and had found Annie. We walked up and down the main street of Hoboken (stopping in at yet another toy store). We got some sushi and wine and made our way to the park in Hoboken that has the view of NYC. We enjoyed a nice picnic. Their was a man playing a pan flute in the park and the kids loved to dance with his little daughter. On the way home Ryan ran through the sprinklers in the park. The family played a quick round of scategories before going to bed around 11PM.
