NYC Day 3

Another amazing day!
 
We walked a lot.
 
Explored a lot.
 
Had a blast.

Lots of fun at the world's largest store - Macy's.




To see Santa only took 15 minutes of wait time.  The darling trail to get to him was even cuter than the photo op!
 




Oh so true.
 





Stefan, our elf, has followed us all over NYC.  Found him at Santa's village!
 




Serendipity had a 45 minute wait, so we visited Dylan's Candy Bar.  Holy cow.
 




Chocolate fountain?  Kids got pretzels and strawberries. I got a rice krispie treat.  All drenched in warm chocolate.



Serendipity was fabulous.  All that we were expecting and more.
 



Here is what happens when we have extra wait time.
 
 

Salted Caramel Frozen Hot Chocolate.
 
Delish.
 



Even the food was fab.
 
BLT for me.
 
 


One Eyed Jack for Blake.
 
 
We raced out of Serendipity and off to Radio Music Hall for their Christmas Spectacular.
 


Here is what it looks empty.



It was fantastic.
 
So in the mood for Christmas now.
 
 


I cried at the nativity scene.  So special.
 
 


 
Jack didn't get arrested.  He showed this police officer his NYPD car and the officer gave him an authentic NYPD badge.  Only had one in his car.  Just for Jackie.  Pretty cool.



Ended the day with ice skating and shopping at Bryant Park.
 

Laine was not so good.  She lasted 10 minutes.


 
This guy could have stayed out there all night.  LOVES it.
 
 





Lots of paparazzi swarming around us at this point.  Katie Holmes was upstairs as this party.
 
Laine tried to get a pic with the paps.  It was awesome.  They were not so amused.
 
Too bad, blood suckers.
 
 
 
 
Last day tomorrow!
 
Empire State Building
Time Square (again)
Grand Central Station
911 Memorial
 
Maybe more!
 
Stay tuned.

I was going to say "Wow! What a fun day!", then I noticed that Jodee had just said that. :) (Hi! I'm Char - I found your link over on Jo's "Will the kids turn out ok?" blog) My hubby lived in Hoboken for 6 months a few years ago, and we went on over to NYC to visit and do all the touristy things. NYC still rates as my most favourite city in the world. Enjoy your time there.

What a FANTASTIC memory for all 5 of you! Did Lainey have a growth spurt? Why do I feel like she grew up over night?

Sigh.... didn't take my advice and get reservations at Serendipity. But Dylan's Candy Bar is a fabulous time waster. :-)

Sigh.... you didn't take my advice and get reservations at Serendipity. Oh, well. If you have to wait 45 minutes, Dylan's Candy Bar is a pretty fabulous place to do it. LOVED all the pics of Macy's. Fun, fun, fun!!
