NYC!

Holi canoli! We have broken down and are taking the plunge to go to NYC. The breaking down is the head shaking of how much money it is going to cost for our family to all go! We are taking the train! About 2.5 hrs long-we are thrilled to see the sites as we travel and not have to worry about traffic. We found a fairly inexpensive hotel, far enough from Time Square that it isn't too loud but close enough for us to walk. We are taking a serious plunge and have bought Lion King tickets!! Yowza....$$$$!!! But this is one of those family trips that I hope we all will cherish.
3 full days and 2 nights. We will go to Lion King, would like to go to the Empire State Bldg, more than likely the Statue of Liberty--(I am seriously worried about frost bite on the ferry), going to Rockefeller Ctr to see the skating and "the tree". Going to American Girl store, see some other stores and just take in the city! I have been there 2x and can walk for miles...the 3Js will be another story.

Does anyone have any suggestions for things to do on an extremely limited budget? I knew I was saving the travel section of Family Fun for several years for a reason!! Thank the Good Lord that we are able to afford this trip in this time of recession. We are truly blessed.

  1. WowZA!! Yeah for you!! So excited!! Suppose it's not safe to take the 3Js to canal street to buy knock off handbags from imports in alleyways, heh?

  2. What kind of bag would you like? They sell them all over now...they just whip out blankets when they see any cops coming. Uh, like they have no idea that they are "hiding" contraband!
