Exploring the city

Get ready for a super long post...

We had an amazing weekend in the big city. So much to see, so much to explore. The second night there Nelson woke us in the middle of the night saying his legs hurt. Mine did too. They actually still do. It's amazing how much walking you do in the city. The boys were such troopers and for the most part walked every step we did. They had to be carried off-and-on, but mostly did great. Nelson said his favorite thing about the city was the subway because he loves trains and because he could sleep. Henry's favorite was the place with all the lights... Times Square. Tammy and Amir suggested a late evening taxi ride through there on our way back up to the apartment. I think it was my favorite too.

(Randy, sorry about the octopus thing. I am actually kind of regretting it too.)

The boys had $15 each for spending money. We took them to FAO Schwartz, the largest toy store in America (Tom Hanks plays the big piano in the movie Big), but it was so much and so overwhelming, they both left empty handed...

Waving a taxi... Their favorite thing to do. They would argue over who the taxi actually stopped for, not realizing that their dad was behind them waving too.

Getting on the subway. We rode the subway a lot... And, finally about had it figured out just in time to leave.
