NYC Day 2

We went back to NYC another day. Uncle Dean offered to drive us around so we could just hop out of the car and see what we wanted to see without worrying about parking. I did not think driving in the city was that bad but of course I was not behind the wheel. We drove past the American Museum of Natural History, the LDS temple, and Rockefeller Center. We took the girls with us on this trip (and Roman of course-- Sorry Jude you never got to go to NYC-- maybe if you did not always try to run away in public :). We went to FAO Schwarz so the girls could play on the giant piano. They had this ridiculous Barbie foosball table that retailed for $25,000. Crazy. We ran into the Purl Soho. It is an amazing craft store, with a very creative blog that I follow. The store was so fun but everything was way out of my price range. It was great to finally see it though. And lastly we went to Battery Park to see the Statue of Liberty. There are men in the park that try to sell you purses in secret. They carry them around in these big totes that are covered in fabric and whisper to you to come look. Apparently they are not suppose to be selling them but I don't think they are really fooling anyone. NYC was really fun. I did see one single mom with four kids (all about my kids age) who rode the PATH with us the first day and when we got off, hailed a taxi and loaded all her kids in. It was pretty amazing. Other than that I only saw nannies with one child each. :) I cannot imagine living there right now but it did make me sad we did not have an adventure like that before we had children. But I cannot say I would have done things differently ten years ago. I am glad I had children when I did . Besides we will be 50 when our children are grown so we can have adventures then.
