Scott planned a band/choir trip with his students and they were unable to fit it in during the school year, so he planned it for June. Cara and I really wanted to go but did not want to endure the long bus ride, so we decided to fly. Grandma and Grandpa F decided to come along to help with Cara since it was a great opportunity for them to see New York too! So early Wednesday morning the 4 of us boarded an airplane, and later that afternoon Scott boarded a bus with 57 students and parents. They would be arriving in the city bright and early Thursday morning!
Our hotel right in the middle of Times Square at 48th and Broadway. In the bottom part of our hotel (the first 3 floors) was the theater for West Side Story
The view looking up the 43 floors of our hotel. Every building in the middle of Times Square was plastered with billboards advertising current movies, theaters, and stores
Grandma and Grandpa with Cara in Times Square. The streets of downtown NYC were not stroller friendly and children were very few and far between
After an afternoon rest and change of clothes we headed to the American Girl store on 5th Avenue! Cara and Baby Cara dressed in their matching dresses and ready to go.
Eating at the American Girl cafe, notice Cara took her cute pigtails out while in the stroller walking. Guess she did not want to match Baby Cara that closely!
Grandma and Grandpa at the cafe waiting on dinner
We walked over to Rockefeller Plaza which was just one block away from AG
And then hit the biggest Disney store outside of Disney World I have ever seen. We enjoyed shopping on 5th avenue that day. We stopped for a walk through of St Patrick's Cathedral as well. After a long day (with a very early flight) and lots of shopping and walking we headed back to the hotel for some much needed sleep!

Aahh, I love that Disney Store;0) Was this your first trip to NYC?
No Scott and I were there in 2005. It was the first time for my parents though!
Cannot not believe that Cara was dancing on the stage where the Rocketts dance.
Boy Aunt Cyndi will be sorry that she wasn't there do join in on the fun dancing.
