Okay so maybe not live. Pre-recorded we will say. Friday we headed to New York City for the weekend.
We took a bus. This was Finn's first bus ride. The night before we left, he asked me, "Mom are we taking train or wheels on the bus?"
He enjoyed the bus ride...
He caught up on his reading...
First thing we had to do when we stepped off the bus was find a gift shop. Finn got a small taxi and a Statue of Liberty figurine.
We ate at a diner that was recommended to us. It was called Juniors and it was good! Finn ate his lunch good so we decided we would all share an ice cream.
Finn caught a nap as we strolled around Times Square.
We thought we would park him to get a shot of him and the Empire State Building.
Friday evening we went to the Toys r Us right behind our hotel. It was amazing. It was like a child's dream land.
Finn just walked around in amazement.
Saturday we went off to do some sightseeing.
I went to the fabric store from Project Runway, Mood, while Tosh and Finn ate bagels. I skipped out of the store because someone asked me if I designed my skirt. Of course I didn't. It was just cool to be mistaken for someone who actually possessed that great talent!
We did some shopping as we walked through the streets of New York.
We spotted this great Scholastic store. Finn loves Clifford, it was very exciting for him. He was able to get a book with some of his grandparent money.
We walked from our hotel in Times Square to the Brooklyn Bridge. By the time we made it, someone was asleep...
Finn really loves the Brooklyn Bridge. He can point it out in pictures. He knows the difference between it and say the Tower Bridge. We have a few framed pictures of it at home and we knew he would be excited to see it in real life.
We woke him up and at first this seemed like a huge mistake. After a few minutes, he was excited to see it and it was all worth it.
We originally had planned on walking to Brooklyn, however, our feet were tired and we decided to not walk all the way across.
Instead we headed over to the area where we could see the Statue of Liberty from the water.
You can't see it great in the photos. It is the dot above the bars left of center. Here is Finn doing his Statue of Liberty pose.
We set down for a little while. Finn played with his new taxi. This was the second taxi we purchased on the trip. This is "big taxi."
After walking around a little more, we decided to try out the subway.
The subway system is much more complicated than the Metro system.
Here is the view from our hotel. It was in Times Square. It was on Broadway.
We got a hook up on this hotel thanks to a very special person.
We were on the 48th floor. It was crazy to look out and see all the excitement down on the streets.
Finn was able to see people dressed up as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Poo, Dora, etc. He thought it was awesome!
Sunday we went to Central Park.
We took Finn to a great children's museum. He enjoyed it!
Before we caught the bus, we knew we had to get some New York pizza.
We arrived back in D.C. pretty late. Union Station was a dead zone.
I have more photos I will share as well as my take on New York City. There is just too much for one post =)
