We had a great weekend in NY. We arrived on Friday and hung out with my brother at his place. Had VERY VERY VERY good Pizza---yummy NY Pizza is the best!
Saturday me, Larry and the kids took the train down to NYC. Metro North into Grand Central. It was in the 40's but cloudy and windy, so we bundled up. Marissa had a cough, so I gave her some cough medicine and some cough medicine gum and we set out for American Girl Doll Store. It was jammed pack. Marissa was overwhelmed. As soon as we got in the store she saw Ivy and wanted to get it. I said to leave the doll where it was (in the front) and we'd explore the store and come back for it. We walked around some, but there were so many people we finally just picked up some (read expensive) accessories and made our way to get Ivy and the cashier.
We then went to see the tree in Rockefeller Center. The kids loved watching the skaters fall on the ice. We stayed around the tree for a while and then Marissa got tired, so she went in the stroller and Larry and I took turns holding and walking with Dylan as we walked up 5th Avenue.
Build A Bear was crowded and since we have one of our own in the local mall we decided not to go in. Same with The Disney Store. Marissa fell asleep and Dylan, Larry and I stopped for dirty dogs. YUMMY! I had mine with mustard, sauerkraut and onions.
Then we walked the rest of the way to FAO Schwartz. There was a line but it was moving. Marissa woke up and we walked around the store some and picked out a toy for Dylan.
We walked back to Grand Central, watched the light show, got some lunch and headed for our train back to Mount Vernon.
We got back to my brother's place and prepared for the birthday party.
Cal was very suprised and we all had a lot of fun. I got VERY drunk and sent Larry back to my brothers place with the kids, my father and SIL and I spent the night at my sisters.
We hung out at my sisters on Sunday, they got the kids some toys and we visited, stayed the night and left on Monday around 11.
We stopped at Marissa's favorite "on the road" place for lunch: Cracker Barrell and got home around 6pm.
