Day 6 New York City

So our last full day in New York was spent seeing all the neat buildings to see and they all seemed to be circled right around our hotel. We could just walk to see them all and then take the subway to the museum. We knew it would be quite a walk but didn't think it would be too bad. It's so cool to see this stuff (that you see all the time in movies) in person. I strapped Jordyn on my sore back again and we took off.
Radio City Music Hall was just down the street. We weren't even looking for this one. We just kinda ran into it.

Today show

This is where people make fools of themselves. We got there just a little too late for their Friday concert and they were putting away all the barricades. I'm not sad though. I'm not a crowd person and it was cool to see when not very many people were around.

Rockefeller center. We didn't think it was all that (probably because there was no ice rink;) but we had to take a pic anyway.

The rainbow room

If you know Travis at all, you know that we HAD to see the Fox News building;)

This is where O'Reilly and Hannity do their thing.

St. Patricks Cathedral. It is so beautiful!!! And it's right in the middle of all these big buildings. So cool.

You can go in and walk around even while they are having mass. There were a ton of people in there. My Dad didn't want to go too far while they were doing their service but Travis and I just walked right up there and around. I wanted to see it all and since we saw other people doing it, we just followed;) There are a ton of statues everywhere. It's pretty cool to see even though it's not the true church;0)

Grand Central Station

Chrysler building

Empire State building

This is pretty much all we saw of the Empire State building. We were so security line weary from the Statue of Liberty and by this time we were hot and tired of walking so we decided to skip going up. We figured that if we were freaked out by the heights of the Statue, it would be way more intense for this one. And we were just so tired of going through metal detectors. We also wanted to get to the museum before it closed and it was getting pretty late.

Macys!! I don't know why I wanted a pic of this. Travis thought I was weird because there is a Macys everywhere but I just think Thanksgiving parade when I see this;)

The Museum of Natural History!!! I just love the look of all these buildings. They are so cool!!! This is right across from Central Park!

This would be the cool dinosaur that I think you see on Night at the Museum movie. I was thrown a little bit when we first got there. I guess we entered on the side and a floor below street level and you enter right into the space part. I was disappointed because I was expecting the dinosaur right as you enter. We found it much later and the lobby still looks a lot different but I love the architecture! It's so neat. I love how these old buildings were built. This place was huge and so stinking busy!!!

This is when Makenna was smiling!!! Why would she be upset?? Oh, just the dinosaurs that she was so excited to see. In her mind, she thinks she will love them but when we get there and are so close to them and being so big just freaks her out!!! She really enjoyed the elephants and the other animals like the deer and bears though.

We decided to finish the day there. We were so tired from walking and it was starting to sprinkle on us. We thought we might spend some more time at Central Park but we were all spent. It was a good thing because we got some dinner and settled in the hotel to relax when the clouds opened up and poured!! I just have to say that we were so lucky with the weather on our trip. We were definitely blessed. It was gorgeous and cool in Northern New York and didn't rain on us even though there was a chance during the pageant and it never rained on us while we were out and about in New York except some lovely cooling sprinkles. It was great!!

The humidity did weird things to J.J.'s diapers though. This kept happening to them! Poor girl would wake up with wet jammies because her diaper would just come undone! And yes, these are Christmas jammies. They fit and they are comfy!!

And this is how we ended the day again:) Oh, the lure of the window!
