New York: Day 3

It was sad to see this mini vacation end.  It was such a treat to be there and so nice to be away from the norms of life.  We are grateful that we had 3 days there.  However, the last day the weather had changed and was REALLY cold.  So- it limited how much we were able to do because the kids were freezing no matter how many layers we put on them.  This pushed us to end the day earlier which was good because we were able to get home and get the kids to bed at an earlier hour- we will take that.

The 3rd day schedule-

* Go see Times Square again. Making stops at the Disney Store, Toys R Us and take some more pictures.  So fun.  We LOVED seeing something Disney.  The store was amazing, as was expected, and we were able to watch some fun clips that we had never before seen.  Toys R Us was superb.  Normally not a huge fan of the store (don't know why) but this store was incredible.  Gabby got to meet the Giraffe and ride their ferris wheel.  Fun.  We then saw the giant T-Rex.  It was just amazing.

* Walk to Central Park.  My goodness.  It was freezing outside and crazy thing is- we never became warm from all that walking.  Normally when you walk you end up wanting to shed layers while walking because you become so warm.  It NEVER happened.  Matter of fact, it felt like it became colder. What the New York weather?

* See Central Park.  I am so sad about this, but we really only saw the entrance of the park because it was so cold.  Sigh. But that is the joy of living so close to New York.  The next trip we can focus on seeing the park.  Fun.  It really was beautiful from the part we saw and was what I had expected it to be.

* Go back to hotel, gather items, go to Grand Central Station and catch train back.  It was one of those cool moments where you get there just in time and you are running to catch the train.  We felt pretty awesome that we caught it just in the nick of time.  Amazing, really.

* Got back to our car to see that it had snowed.  Gabby insisted that her and Adam make a snowman, so they made it on the top of our hood!!! He stayed there for a good hour before flying away.  So cool.

* Finally reached home and slept!! Great adventure and great memories!!

Now the pictures... enjoy.

 Really don't know why she is making this face... still a cute picture
