NYC in a Nutshell

I got to go see Wicked with my parents while we were in New York. I loved it and hope to see it again some day. Barry got to go on a cruise tour around Manhattan with his parents and sister.

It was a cold, windy and rainy day in the Big Apple, but it didn't keep us from sightseeing.My dad and I trying to figure out where we were on the map so we could go the right direction to find Barry, Stacy and the kids.We did a lot of walking. Tanner said he loved everything about New York except the walking.

The Statue of Liberty. Tanner looks like he has bedhead, but it's actually a really bad haircut. Guess who we ran in to at Toys R Us?? Can you believe it, we were there at the exact same time and in the same section of that huge store!Tan and Kara enjoyed their Ferris wheel ride with their grandma and grandpa.Us in Time Square. Kendra fell asleep.

Trying to get back to New Jersey to go home was crazy. We left the hotel and took the subway to Battery Park to try to catch the ferry back across the bay, we walked pretty far to catch the water taxi, but it was closed for the night. We didn't know how we would get across to our car that couldn't be in the parking lot overnight without being towed. We talked to some police officers and they said that we would need to walk to the train station where the train goes under the bay and then we'd have to catch a taxi to our car that was at Liberty State Park. Luckily it all worked out. Tanner was very doubtful and thought we might have to swim to the car.
