Our friends from down here in Maryland were heading off to New York last weekend, and after some deliberation (with myself) we decided to tag along and show them our favorite city in the whole world! Of course, we haven't been to the whole world, but Matt and I just love New York City so much. There's no place like it. I love the hustle and bustle. I love all the weird people there...yes, myself included! Anyway, we took our friends, Dave, Jessica, Sophia, and Zack, into Manhattan on Sunday. We parked in our old neighborhood and took the subway. We started off in Times Square
because there was a special Broadway production going on. The streets were blocked off, and our best view was from back stage, so we walked over and up to the Ed Sullivan Theatre via Radio City Music Hall, where Taylor Swift was filming a video for the VMA's, and then up to Central Park. We ate hot dogs from the street vendors, got ice cream, and the kids played in the humungus playground in Central Park. As we left the park we met up with our friends from NY, Brittney and Brianne. It was so great to see them! Emma was especially excited! We then headed downtown on the 1 train and got off to see the World Trade Center site. We walked from there to the Staten Island ferry, which is a great, free, ride past the Statue of Liberty. After the break on the ferry we were game to walked back up the the subway (a bunch of stops were closed) to go up to the Village where we filled up on pizza. Then we walked over to Magnolia's bakery where we got lots of cupcakes. The kids were full of sugar, so they got out their energy in the playground. By that time it was 7:15 and getting dark. However we had to walk to the subway, take a pit stop (thanks, Starbucks) and lug the 3 strollers down the subwa
y stairs for the last time. Our stroller broke after the Staten Island ferry, so we left it in Queens after we got back to the car, and other than that we had such a great day. The kids did great, and it was so wonderful to be back in the city with some really great friends!!!
