we decided we saw everything we wanted to see and more on this trip.
a few highlights of day one:
we took the ferry and were able to see the statue of liberty along the way.
we wandered through china town. we tried bubble tea. we saw many interesting forms of meat hanging in windows.
we went to the art museum. there was so many famous paintings there we were able to see which was awesome.
for dinner we had the best korean bbq chicken EVER and then for dessert something even better. we went to a store where all there is are cupcakes. i think it is my favorite place ever now. rich and i could hardly choose one, but in the end we chose one called half and half. half chocolate, half vanilla with a cream center and chocolate chip cookie dough bits on the top.
a few highlights of day two:
we had a picnic in central park. it is HUGE. i couldn't help but sing enchanted songs every time i saw a bridge.
we saw the temple. it really is in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of new york.
we went to some fun stores, FAO shwarts-- where the giant piano in BIG is, rich and brook played for us. we went to the apple store, nintendo world and brook and i drooled over all the clothes in anthropologie.
for dinner we had new york style pizza. also very tasty. for dessert we went to the stardust diner. it was SO fun. people that want to make it to broadway but haven't quite gotten there yet work there and sing for you all night long. they were great! our favorite performance was love shack complete with banging our silverwear on the table when they sung "bang bang."
both nights we walked around times square. the lights and billboards are unbelievable. it was so fun walking around!
day three highlights:
we went to church and really enjoyed meeting so many people from around the world. rich was able to speak to a few people in portuguese which i always think is fun to hear (not so sure about how rich feels about it :). we had a nice dinner and then on our way out visited the place where the world's fair was held and went in the queen's museum.
