WHAT WE DID IN NEW YORK 6/21-27/2011

We had a blast on Manhattan while visiting Jed and Kate!  There are no pictures of Kate because she was at work a lot and then left for Seattle to run a 1/2 marathon and do a family party.  We had fun visiting with both of them. We did many other things besides visit though.  Jed, the ultimate tour guide kept our feet moving.  We rode the subways and walked everywhere!!
Sometimes we had to stop so Jed could conduct business!
We went to the New York Museum of Natural History......
....and saw lots of dinosaurs.....
...no, the ones in front are not the dinosaurs....
.....we had picnics in the park.....
.....toured Columbia University on our own while Jed met with the director of his next film.....
... we went to Times Square....

....ate some more picnics.....
....toured Rockefeller Square and saw where they put up the big NY Christmas Tree....

...went to see many famous big churches....
....went to a Broadway Musical.....
...called Mary Poppins and got the songs stuck in our heads for the rest of the week.....
....went out to eat several times, this was a El Salvadorian restaurant....
....helped Jed look for a condo to buy.....
.....revisited Ground Zero and were amazed at the progress they were making on the memorial and the two new world trade towers....
... the one in the middle is half as tall as it's going to be....
...and attended a city wide dance contest....
There were many more things we did, but suffice it to say, it was a busy and fun week on the island of Manhattan with our # 3 son.  Read the next two blog entries to learn more!
