We were getting a bit board of the crowded, slim pickings continental breakfast provided by the hotel (we are grateful for the rareness of that though, it's saved us lots of $$) but we needed something different. There was a bakery right near the hotel (Bourke Street Bakery) and we went and got croissants--and they had this cool window where we watched them get made. The pastry getting rolled and folded with butter and then chilled. It was fascinating!
Then we went "window shopping" down 5th Avenue: Louis Vuitton, Gucci. Grandpa tried to get grandpa to buy herself something, and she refused and suggested he look at the price tag--just a wallet was way more than he realized. It was a fun memory!
Abercrombie (where Grandma talked us into getting the girls these jumpsuits that were adorable), the Apple Store, FAO Swartz--where we played on the large piano keys and Lindsey found a panda she begged for...and didn't get, Kate Spade--Melissa has decided she needs a purse soon, the Adidas Store where the boys spent time looking around.
Somewhere in here we had to use the bathroom and found the perfect place to to....
On this day we also spent more time in Central Park we saw Belvedere Castle, a band play, a cool bubble guy do a display, and we rode the carrousel!!
In the evening just the adults went to dinner at Eataly--found it to be crowded and bit crazy, but it was nice to be away from the kids for a night.
We left early the next morning on a flight home. We LOVED our trip to NYC and feel so blessed to have done it as a family with Carl and Susan!
