may... the big apple!


New York New York!!!

Max, Grammie and I had the great fortune to spend weekend in New York City in early May!  Max and I rode the train - which was super exciting - and Grammie met us there Friday night.  
It was an awesome weekend (despite some weather challenges)!


When we arrived at Penn Station, we continued our transportation excitement by taking a pedicab to the apartment!

 Our ride up 6th Avenue on a beautiful Friday evening...
 at a red light...
and Max enjoyed his very first Shirley Temple
at a "fancy" restaurant with me!

On Saturday morning, we headed way downtown to take a ferry to the Statue of Liberty, but alas, it was raining and cold.  

 Waiting for the subway...

So we took a mini-bus tour and headed back uptown, 
making an all-important stop at the Toys R Us in Times Square!



Then we went back to the apartment for a break...


 ...before a carriage ride through Central Park!

Next Stop: FAO Schwartz!


And later that evening we went to the Empire State Building!

 Sadly, when we got to the top, the weather was like this:

And this was the view:
 Visibility was 0% ... but hey, there were no crowds!

Sunday morning we went to the Museum of Natural History...



  
 ...before heading home.
 What a fantastic adventure!

And as always, thanks for stopping by!
