The Big Apple Day 3

Another gorgeous day of weather in NYC, this day it was already 90 and humid when we headed out on our walk to Central Park!

Central Park is this lovely amazing tranquil area in the middle of this massive chaotic city! I can see what they preserve it so well!
We thought this was a cool spot to stop and get a picture with those buildings in the background
Getting a carriage ride in Central park is very popular, but we could think of much better things to spend $50 on (for a 20 minute ride)
We left Central park and started walking back down 5th Avenue. We walked all through the Trump buiding, this is the view from the top floor, the back wall is a water feature that was much more amazing in person
Walking through Rockefeller Center (on our way to another stop at the Magnolia Bakery, yummy cupcakes)!

The best thing that night was getting home and wrapping my arms around this precious little girl! She was SOOOOOOO excited to see us at the airport, jumping up and down. I ran down the escalator and scooped her up for a hug!! She was pretty excited to see her surprises! These are her new matching pajamas from American Girl, she just had to try them on immediately!
Cara did fabulous at Grandma and Grandpa Abbott's for the weekend! She talked to us on the phone a couple times a day and was so sweet telling us she missed us but to have fun on our trip. They took her to the zoo, the movies, out to eat and she helped in the building of a new swing set in their backyard. So they kept her too busy to worry about missing us! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa A for keeping her for the weekend and taking such good care of her!

Thank you also to Grandma and Grandpa Fox for picking up Cara for us on Sunday so she would be there when we got off the plane. Thank you also for the transportation to the airport!
