NYC with kids

After going twice without them, we felt the time was right to take our kids to NYC. What a great idea! They were perfect...even Claire, who I expected a little whining from with all the walking, was an angel. They loved NYC as much as we do. It was one of our best vacations to date. Here are a few of the things we did....
Central Park
F. A. Schwartz
Dylan's Candy Bar had Carter's name!! (only second time, he was very happy)
9/11 memorial
We got lucky that Carlo's Bakery didn't have a 2 hour wait when we went over....
so Jared got to try the famous cannoli and lobster tail he had been dreaming about. He found out he doesn't like Italian cream. Oh well, we ate plenty of sweets elsewhere.
Empire State Building (our hotel was a few blocks from it)
Time Square
Thanks to Yelp, we didn't miss trying all the hot spots for treats, burgers, ice cream and fries. They even have cup cake carts now! I still like Magnolia's cupcakes the best. Jared liked Butter Lane the best.
We got the subway thing down pat. We are ready to buy a place here. If only we had won that lottery.

When you buy that place there, we will come visit you on a regular basis. :)

I can't believe I hadn't seen any of these pictures. I'm very impressed with how good the pictures turned out. Thanks for posting.
