New York: Day 2

We got up at 6:00 in the morning and headed to Rockefeller Center to watch the "Today" show.
There was a men's choir from a College there, that was pretty fun. We saw Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Natalie Morales through the glass. Al Roker wasn't there, someone else came out onto the plaza so we left because we were cold and tired and hungry.
We went back to our Hotel, after finding food to see if anyone was ready to see NY. We decided to check out the things right by our Hotel. We stayed at the DoubleTree right in Time Square. Right on Broadway, in the middle of ALL the action. The ball that drops at the beginning of each new year was always in sight. SO FUN!! So, we went to the M& M store. Talk about big, it was 3 stories high.

Next we ventured to Central Park. We figured we could find it because we could see Columbus Circle from our Hotel room. That was awesome, I recommend that to anyone who visits NY. Go to Central Park and take the bike tour. You get to see the whole thing and have someone explain all of the history and see where a lot of movies are filmed. The whole new money on the west side and old money on the east side (or vise versa) was pretty interesting. We saw where a lot of famous people live, like, Brad and Angelia, Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, Madonna, I can't remember them all...but there were A LOT!! The old money: The Rockefeller, Carnegie...

We walked around this area for quite awhile. We went to F.A.O Schartz TOY STORE. Again, it is HUGE! This is where the piano on "Big" is located. I can't even explain the size. It was 3 stories but it was also like half a city block. BIG BIG STORE! The soldier at the enterance soluted us. That was pretty fun. We walked back up 5th avenue to our hotel and bought Chris and Brianne something so that we could say that we purchased something on 5th. ha ha
Later that night we went and saw "In the Heights" it is a new musical that won a lot of Tony's last year. It was SO good. I loved it, it made me want to get up and dance. Well, actually I wanted to learn to dance and then get up and dance. The lead girl was absolutely amazing! Mesmorizing even. We got back to our Hotel and crashed--ready to get up and start another busy day.

What a GREAT DAY!!!
