NYC Day 2


Day 2

The day began quite overcast but it wasn't raining!  We decided to start out at the Museum of Natural History.  We had the place to ourselves for the first 30 minutes and then every pre-schooler in NYC arrived. LOL!  We kept trying to out run them but they are fast little buggers!



A view of NYC across Central Park from the museum window.


The side of the museum - kind of reminds me of a castle with a moat.

In a room about senses we discovered that my nail polish turns an interesting light blue color under the black lights!

A cool mosaic...these things fascinate me.



I have no idea which building this is or ever where we were when I took it but it was kinda cool...

In the afternoon we took a bus tour around the city.  The seats ran along the side of the bus stadium style and it had a glass roof so you had a great view as you drove around with the guide telling us stories about NYC.

We drove past Trump Tower and she pointed out that they only recently opened the street back up but there are still lots of guards out from to protect the other people that live there from protesters.



 We really wanted to go to the spot on Madison Ave where Tom Hanks named Darryl Hannah "Madison" in the movie Splash but we never made it over there.


This restaurant is pretty famous for their singing waiters and waitresses. Food was terrible but the entertainment was fantastic.


Next stop was Broadway to see School of Rock. We had chose this show as one that Austin would really like.  Madison and I weren't too enthused about going but we ended up loving it!


And finally we made it to the Top of Rock!  And oh my what a view!  I used to feel like being on the 21st floor of the RenCen at work seemed pretty high up....not any more!


We traded photo ops with another couple...kind of hard when it's dark out!
