The Big Apple
I promised some photos from our trip ....so sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
6:00 am - waiting for the train at the station
our favorite place to go on the train - the SNACK BAR! At 8:50 the kids were ready for lunch!
getting close....about to cross over to Manhattan
saturday afternoon - sunny and gorgeous - Eily sees Ellis Island & the statue of liberty
mmmmmmm....gotta have a hot pretzel on the streets of NY!
Sunday morning we spotted the opening of the Macy's 34th annual flower show and decided to pop in to check it out
the store windows were decorated with a floral outfit from each decade...this was the 50s
we spotted my idol...up close & IN PERSON! Martha Stewart was there to cut the ribbon to open the show!
eily marvels at the height of the buildings
Sunday afternoon we spent a delightful afternoon watching a Pippi Longstocking marionette show at the Swedish Cottage in Central Park
this was followed by a stop at Dean & Delucca for some lunchtime provisions....only managed a few snaps before I was told pics aren't allowed
Monday Morning - Happy St Pat's day and Eily's first visit to American Girl Place
WOW!
watching the parade...I knit the hats on the train ride down...
my nephew Maxim, Eily & my sister
(just coffee in her cup ~ we're getting old!)
this stop is 1 block from Parsons....home of Project Runway!
we stopped at the Hershey store where they had some of the designs from this seasons challenge!
a quick visit to MOOD! just to say I've been there ...no time for any real shopping, hoped to soak in some of the genius
I will be posting all of my photos from the trip on my
flickr site later this week - pop over there is you want to see more!
