We'll we spent our first day in the city today. We got up early and took a bus from New Jersey over to New York and then rode the subway (for the experience of it all) to 81st street and landed right at the American Museum of Natural History. We spent all morning there and around 1:30pm we left and had New York Style Pizza. Afterwards we went to Toy's R Us to look around while Glen found us some last minute tickets for Broadway. By the time we all met up again, we were feeling a little tired, so we jumped on a city bus and took a tour of the city. We went through Greenwich village, Ground Zero and Battary Park. We got off the bus and caught a glipse of the river and the Statue of Liberty (where we are headed tomorrow). After the nice bus ride we sent mom, dad and the kids back to the hotel and Glen and I saw the new hit Disney show Mary Poppins on Broadway. It was fantastic and we truly enjoyed ourselves. We had really wanted to see Wicked, but they were sold out for a month. Lion King was our second choice, but they were sold out for the evening as well. But it was well worth it, Disney + Broadway = wonderful and delightful.
While we were on our adventure we decided that most families probably wouldn't find it enjoyable to take four young children into New York City. But I have to tell you that the kids were so much fun and they did a great job. They loved seeing everything at the museum and they just kept a good attitude the entire day until they closed their little droopy eyes. They all said thank you one time or the other and it was a good day, definitely one for the memory books.
Like I said earlier, we are headed for the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Cruise tomorrow which we plan to take on the New Jersey side and then we'll spend the rest of the afternoon in Central Park before we head up to Cape Cod.
I am trying to put pixs up, but between Glen's non-apple laptop and this slow hotel internet service I am finding it difficult. I will keep trying, we got some great shots. Hope you guys are enjoying your families and finding ways to relax.

Sounds like an awesome time you guys are having!!!! Arthur just asked me yesterday if we should go back to New York for our anniversary this year, I laughed and told him we needed to keep our behinds home and save some money! Did you go to the Toys R Us in Time Square? That's the area we stayed in for both our trips up - right in the middle of all the hussle and bussle! There is just so much to do, see and experience in that city. Can't wait to hear more about it! Have fun!
