This year our school system gave us an entire week off for Fall Break. We made the most of this by traveling to New York City with Granny Mel. We were in the city for six days, and we packed a lot into our time there. We went to every borough except Staten Island, saw two Broadway shows, visited three museums, and saw many other sites. Brian's cousin Brandon and his family were able to meet up with us for a few days, and that was great. I always enjoying seeing them.
I am going to be doing several posts about our trip. The one obvious thing that we didn't do was to visit the Statue of Liberty. We didn't go here because it was being renovated and visitors weren't being allowed inside of the Statue. We'll save that for another trip. We also were not able to see the 9-11 Memorial (we did try, though). Other than that, we were able to see and do pretty much everything that we wanted to do. The kids had a great time. Owen especially liked it. I think that he was impressed by the public transportation. He was always asking to take the Subway or to hail a taxi. One time when Owen asked if we could take a taxi, Brian told him to go ahead and get one. Brian was just teasing with Owen, but Owen didn't know that. Owen went close to the road, held his hand up, and tried to whistle. It was kind of cute. Posted here are some pictures from our trip. The first picture is of our family in Times Square. There is also a picture taken on the subway. We stayed right down the street from Radio City Music Hall and also very close to Rockefeller Center, so we passed those places often. They were putting together the skating rink at Rockefeller Center when we were there, so we got to see that.
