Day 2... We all woke up early and walked over toward times square, and other midtown sites. We got to cross off a lot on Jason's book list. Everytime we got to a site that was in his book- he just loved it. It was so nice to be out early. It was cooler out, and there weren't any crowds. Our camera temoporarily stopped working half way through day two, so some pictures are from a disposable, and thus didn't turn out as nicely.
These "Library Lions" were in his book, and he loved running back and forth between them, and climbing the stairs. He is such a little Ham!
Mike and Jay~
Little Lexie and I... she just wanted Daddy!
Times Square (also in Jason's book). Mike and Jason are sitting at that table, Jason is in the red stroller!
One of the pages of Jason's book is of the "fluttering flags" at the UN... when he saw these at Rockefeller Center he was SUPER excited to run up and pose. We sat here for a little while while Lexie crawled around, and Jason played with his lttle trains on the ground.
St Patrick's Cathedral
Toys R Us was pretty cool! I think it was 3 stories tall, and was actually stroller friendly. Jason and Mike rode on this giant ferris wheel, inside the store. The kids each got to pick out one toy. Jason picked a lego kit that builds dump trucks, and Lexie got a black and white stuffed kitten (Jason picked it for her).
This T-Rex was pretty cool, and it moved and made noises. Jason was a little uneasy shopping near it.
Buzz Lightyear made of Legos!!! Two of Jason's favorite things!
Grand Central Terminal... it was definately grand inside!
The day before we left, some national TV show listed Magnolia bakery as having the best cupcakes in the country... They were fine, but definately not the best I've had, and for $3.00 per cupcake, they were a one time thing ;-)
Jason couldn't wait to get into a taxi (another thing from his NYC book)! Finally, at the end of day 2, we hopped in one and headed uptown for dinner.
Before dinner, we stopped at FAO Schwarz. I liked Toys R Us better, but it was cool to go into a place that had $200 teddy bears sitting at floor level, with kids and babies sworming! It was very busy in here.
Serendipity's frozen hot chocolate. We weren't very impressed with this restaurant, that we were told was a must. The staff wasn't very friendly, and the food was okay, but nothing special. I do wish we would have tried a different dessert. The others looked great, and the famous frozen hot chocolate was just like chocolate milk with ice chips in it. We were very glad that we made a reservation since the wait for others was 2 hours.
