New York City

For Thanksgiving this year we rode the train up to New York with Mimi and Grandpa to spend a few days there and see the Macy's Day Parade! Aunt Whitney met us for a few of those days as well. The train ride was a blast for the kiddos and Derek and I liked the extra leg room compared to an airplane. While in NY we visited Central Park, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Sak's 5th Avenue light show and several yummy restaurants. We were SO lucky to have a reserved spot for the parade thanks to some contacts and for the fact that it was 50 degrees. It was the perfect length and the kids loved every second! Our Thanksgiving meal was at Ruth's Chris and absolutely delicious. Like I needed rolled out of the restaurant after it was over because I was so full. Everything went off perfectly except for the 9/11 Museum and I wouldn't recommend that for young kids. There just wasn't enough 'entertaining' stuff there to look at for their ages!

Here are some pictures!
