Our sweet Mom at a rap concert. Everyone told her she had to go. She asked on our family text who wanted to go with her. She could take one person. Well Kevin texts and says Amy is in!
So I went with her to New York! We flew out Sunday night and got to New York Monday around 5am. Our flight back was later monday night. So we were there for less than 24 hours.
It was crazy and so fun!!!
Dad took us to the airport and when we got there I got the full pat down. I guess they said I had traces of chemicals on my hands. So they went through my bag and pulled everything out. We thought it was a little funny that I was getting the full deal. I told them I did put baby lotion on my hands just before I left. So they took me and my mom over and I had to do a little more invasive pat down in a room that they had right off of the security area of the airport.
They finally let me through.
That was an eventful way to start our trip.
We got on the plane and My mom and I weren't seated next to each other. She was in front of me. I hadn't been on a plane in 6 years. So I was kind of excited to fly again.
However the red eye is a little different everyone is trying to sleep.
Anyhow we got there and we took the airtrain to the subway which took us into Manhattan. We got our right around time square area. We were outside about 7:00am walking around. It was so fun to see all of the huge buildings and see the streets start to fill up with people.
We walked around for about an hour and than realized we wouldn't see much at that rate so we bought tickets to do a tour bus. This bus was really cool. You could sit on top and a guide talked to you as we drove through the city. They stopped at all the sites and you could get on and off as you pleased.
We saw:
-Time Square
-Empire State Bld
-Statue of Liberty
-Central Park
-Ground Zero Memorial
I think we saw more but I am now already forgetting. Since it was such a quick trip. We may have stayed longer and gotten a hotel but I was still nursing Tayson and didn't want to be gone to long from the kids. But Kevin did great playing Mr. Mom.
Speaking of Mom. My Mom was so much fun to be with. She was awesome at navigating us through the city and getting us on and off at the right times and at the right stops.
My favorite is when she told Ceelo that we would be listening really close so keep it clean.
IT was a fun little adventure and I loved going with her. She is such a cool person and the best Mom!
I know I took more pics and better ones where my camera was actually in focus but I will have to search for those pics later. :)
