New York, New York!
Posted on June 7, 2008
Today we drug James (kicking and screaming) to New York. It was HOT. 95 degrees, to be exact. But, we still had a great time.
1st we went to the financial district, here’s Chloe chasing birds outside the Custom House:
“Pigeon, where go?”
Then we went to Times Square, where there were no pigeons to be found:
Next was Rockfeller Center, where we tried to get Chloe’s picture taken with Elmo at the “NBC Experience” store. She was happy to wave at him from a distance, but when he tried to pick her up for a picture, well this is how it turned out:
Elmos says, “Toddlers are delicious’ (Elmo sounds remarkably like John.)
Off to Central park, where Chloe chased pigeons and squirrels. She was in Heaven!
Central Park was followed by FAO Schwartz, and then a long walk to a Japanese bookstore that James wanted to see. Chloe fell asleep somewhere along the way, and she slept through a delicious meal at a Cuban restaurant. James introduced me to fried plantains, now that’s delicious!
Tomorrow the boys are going to Philly. Originally, Chloe and I were going to go with them, but its supposed to be in the late 90′s again tomorrow, and I just don’t think she should be out in the heat two days in a row after getting her first sunburn. So, pity me tomorrow while I am sitting in my air conditioned house all day and the boys are out melting in Philadelphia. sniff.
