Friday was the day we adults left the kiddies behind to check out the Big Apple. It was so much fun! I thought we got to see so much for one day and we all got to do/see something we wanted. In reverse order, Wicked was FAN-TAS-TIC!!!!! The music was awesome and I just can't say enough about it. We are SOOO very grateful to Adam and Kayla for taking us - what a treat!! To give you an idea, Robert can't stop talking about it either and it's a PLAY! That's gotta tell you something!
Robert and Adam filling up their goody bags at the M&M store
Right in the middle of Times Square. It is amazing to just stand there and let the city flow around you. I didn't take a picture, but we really did see the Naked Cowgirl - crazy what some people will (or won't) wear!
Here we are at Big Nick's. The guys got the sumo burger, which are similar to the Big Judd, only they are nearly normal diameter, just much, much thicker!!
Here's Adam and Kayla taking a gander at the Apple Store. It was fun to play with all the latest technology toys like the iPad.
Can I just say how amazing the temple is?! Wowzer! It looks just like all the other buildings, but yet it stands apart, too. We all know temples are top of the line, but this one was very unique and especially gorgeous to me. We went upstairs to look around the chapel and classrooms and it is amazing how you can leave the city behind and just be at peace here.
Adam and Kayla in front of a water pond in Central Park. This park is amazingly huge!!! You just can't fathom it until you drive completely around. Add that to where it is located and you have yourself an unbelieveable park!
The Empire State Building. We decided in order to get the most for our time that we would drive the van around the city instead of using the subway system AND that we would just drive past many of the "usual" sites that lots of people visit, such as the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, and the Empire State Building. We did get out and shop in Chinatown and ate lunch in Little Italy.
