New York City!


 
Our first night in NYC ~ Check out the empire state building... 
We had a lot of fun walking around Times Square.  The kids especially loved the MM store and Toys R Us! 
 
 
On our second day we went to Radio City Music Hall
and saw the Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes.  We loved it!
 
 
We also visited Serendipity 3.  The wait time was close to 2 hours, so we bought a few packets to make frozen hot chocolate at home.  Yum!
 

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
What a fun experience...
 
 
When the parade was over we headed as far south as we could and walked around Battery Park - which was pretty devastated by Hurricane Sandy.  We ran into the charging bull and had to have our picture taken. 

One of my favorite places was the 9/11 Memorial. 
It was absolutely beautiful and those relecting pools were amazing. 

 
We had so much fun with my parents.  They are so great to travel with. 
The scaffolding behind us is the Christmas tree in Rockefellar center. 
We were just a few days too early!
 
On Friday we took Carson to the Manhattan Temple.
What a cool experience for us all...
 
 
After the temple, we walked to the American Museum of Natural History.
Thanks mom and dad for spending Thanksgiving with us!!
