New York City Day 1

Tuesday morning we got up and took the AmTrak down to NY city. Jessy and Will came with us. Josh had to stay and work. After we got there, we checked into our apartment (we sublet a 3 bedroom apartment on 49th street right near Times Square). We went to lunch at a fun NY pizza parlor. They were playing Michael Jackson videos the whole time we ate and the kids were jamming while they ate. Then we went to the Empire State Building. We got to go to the 86th and the 102nd floors. The view was incredible. After that we took the kids to the famous toy store, FAO Schwartz. We walked back to our apartment through Rockefeller Center and saw the ice skating rink.

On the train. Garret was being a worm. He was sitting by Kirt and driving Kirt crazy.  Kirt told Garret that he would give him a dollar if he would close his eyes and take a nap. Garret laid down and immediately fell asleep. That is by far the best dollar I have ever spent.
