NYC: Day Three (Monday)

All of us (4 adults + 4 kids + another Garcia visitor, Mark) headed off for some touring. We took the subway down to South Ferry and then ran to catch the Staten Island Ferry just before it departed. We got great views of the Statue of Liberty on the way there and of Manhattan on the way back. Andrew loved it! Seth was not so sure about all the wind. Plus, it was free, and no waiting - way better than the usual Statue of Liberty visit.







We went on a walking tour pretty similar to what we did with Arpan. We saw the Bull on Wall Street, Trinity Church, then back to Little Italy, where we had a delicious pasta lunch. We went to China Town and had some yummy desserts (ice cream mochi, milk shakes, and smoothies) while Katsu bought some steamed buns and also some chopsticks.






Mark took off to his hotel, while the rest of us headed to Times Square on the subway. We looked around and then dropped into Toys R Us. Unfortunately, the Ferris Wheel wasn't working, but Andrew loved the Jurassic Park display and Thomas the Tank play table. We met up with Mark again and then walked to the Rockefeller Center and back to 5th Avenue and back to FAO while David and Caroline looked for a scooter. We cabbed it back to the apartment.







We were pretty tired, so the girls and kids stayed in. The boys went out and played some football and then went out to eat at a steakhouse. A nice end to a beautiful Labor Day.
