Day 4 & 5

Day 4 we went to FAO Schwartz and shopping on 5th Ave. I was so excited to play the big piano!
The whole inspirations or excuse for this trip was ISU's volleyball tournament in Queens. We were able to catch some games. ISU did so good this year taking 2nd in their conference.
We went to the Mets and Braves game. This was so fun! We have tickets for the nose bleeds but were able to sneak down right along third base line. Ricky was in heaven.
Day 5 we went to the MoMA.
We went to the Manhattan Temple. I wish we would have had time to go inside... I felt such a peace seeing this temple in the middle of the city. As you can tell by the lack of my pictures at the end, I was tired! We had been going nonstop for 5 days. We would leave the hotel early and be gone all day walking and riding the sweaty subway and not return until late. I was starting to feel like I needed a vacation from my vacation. Maybe somewhere quiet like Idaho... We also went to China Town and Little Italy. I has some AMAZING pizza in little Italy. We left later that night and I was so excited to see this little girl! I don't even know if she missed me, but I missed her! I may have shed a few tears. Thank you family for taking such good care of her!

NYC Day 3

We took a water taxi around Manhattan. It passed by Ol Lady Liberty!
I love my cute inlaws! We went to an Air and Space Museum on this old air craft carrier. They had a submarine you could go into and tour which was pretty cool and lots of planes and space stuff all the guys liked.
We went to the 9/11 memorial which I had never been too because it wasn't built the first time I went to New York. I thought it was really cool and impressive to see the new freedom towers being built.
Top of the Rock! This was fun, I hadn't done this before either. The lines are a lot shorter than Empire State and the view is still spectacular!
We finished the night with Wicked! I loved it!

NYC Day 1&2

The first week of September we took a trip to New York! I had been dreading leaving my baby, but she was left in good hands. My sister Lori was the head babysitter and Quinley was passed around from Kali to Heidi to my mom with Lori supervising in between. There is NO way I could have left Quinley if it wasn't for family. I am so glad I left her because this would have not been a fun trip for a baby. Here are some highlights. Ricky got us tickets to the Late Show with David Letterman!
Time Square in the rain.
We stayed in New Jersey and got pretty good about riding trains and subways. Well not me but I am good at following others!
Museum of Natural History (you know the one where Ross works)
Bike ride through Central Park. Probably my most favorite part of trip!
Empire State building. We ate pizza this night that was amazing! We also walked across the Brooklyn Bridge at night but I don't have any good pictures of it.
