Day 30-We went to dinner at Fogo De Chao (a Brazilian restaurant) with our friends the Isom's and then we went to see Captain America. All the kids stayed back at the apartment and went swimming and watched movies.
Day 31- We drove up to New York. We checked into our hotel on Staten Island around 4:00pm and hurried to make it into New York City for the evening. On the ferry ride over we saw the Statue of Liberty, it was actually much smaller than I expected it to be. Even though we only had a few hours we managed to see Wall Street, Trinity Church, Ground Zero and just got to experience New York. It was very dirty and there were piles of garbage all over the streets. It looks so pretty on TV.
Day 32- Last night we stayed up until about 1:00 in the morning and then the kids insisted we get up at 6:00am to drive over to Carlos Bakery. I'm pretty sure this was the entire reason the kids wanted to come to New York. We made it to Carlos Bakery by about 7:30 and only had to wait in line for about a half hour. It was the highlight of the day and we got to try lobster tails, cannolis, eclairs and of course a red velvet cupcake for me. The lobster tails were awesome and the rest of the stuff, well not so much. I didn't even finish my cupcake:(
After we were done at Carlos' Bakery we went over to New York and we went to Battery Park, Time Square, Central Park, all the fun stores like, Hershey's and the M&M store. The girls managed to get tickets to Mama Mia so the boys went to Ripley and spent a lot of time playing around in Toys R Us.
Day 33-Our last day in New York-We went to See Wicked, my favorite Broadway play and the highlight of my trip. The boys and Jordan went to FAO Schwarz and saw Transformers. We ended the evening in the very busy Time Square and on the way back we stopped and saw the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden. Overall it was a really fun trip and I'm glad I got to experience New York.
Day 34 was a packing and cleaning day.

Day 34 was a packing and cleaning day. Day 35 We flew Home and missed the Earthquake in Virginia by less than an hour. We are all very happy to be home and to not have to deal with the Hurricane that Chris gets to experience this weekend. After so much to do everyday, we are currently suffering from extreme boredom and hope it passes soon.
