New York City


So as my oldest daughter was reading the family blog. She noticed that our very fun trip to NY city was not included. Well that is because we did the trip on March 26th, hence the winter coats.
This year Tom and I decided that instead of birthday parties we would take the girls into the city. We went with our friends the Smiths.
We caught the train in NJ, and rode it into Grand Central. This was the girls first real train ride, and let me say that it is the way to go (an hour to catch up on reading, and the girls just going on about how excited they were, and no need to pay for parking).
While we were in Manhattan, we shopped at the American Girl store, walked around Central Park to find Balto, (Nicloe read about Balto this year and knew that there was a statue of him somewhere in the park) and then we went back to American Girl for dinner.
We had a great time with just the girls.

This is a picture of us in the Cafe` at American Girl Doll.
The girls enjoyed having their dolls next to them.
It was a fun way for all three girls to celebrate their birthdays, who knows this may turn into a tradition.

Love your blog! Mike actually likes your template better than ours.
Looks like NY was fun, I can't wait to go visit there.

Thanks! I like yours also, I might have to use it some time. The trip to NY was wicked fun. The best part is that we took the train into the city, so no parking and the kids ride for free on the weekends.
