We (just me and Andrew) arrived Friday at lunchtime. That afternoon we took the ferry to Hoboken NJ to visit Carlo's Bakery (from the show Cake Boss on TLC: I'm a fan and just had to taste it!). Andrew learned the phrase "wild goose chase" as we had a few missteps on the trip!
We bought and ate that Frankenstein cake (yum!) at a gathering of John's friends on Friday evening.
Saturday morning we went to FAO Schwarz!
Andrew learned from Uncle John how to hail his own cab. As usual, transportation was a major highlight: airplanes, boats, trains, cabs...a little boy's dream!
We also went to the top of the Empire State Building at sunset (no we couldn't have planned the timing!) and then ate dinner at Mars 2112 in Times Square. We also got a simulated helicopter ride (think theme-park-moving-seat-ride) that I think might have been Andrew's favorite thing on the whole trip. It was so good that I got motion sick!
Sunday was lovely. A walk to the park with the new puppy, Taz. Lunch out. (We even saw Bono eating at a place called "Isabella's" - right out on the street! Of course I would never have known him but John and Matt did in an instant!).
All in all - an awesome trip. So many little things to tell that I couldn't possibly do it here. We had a great time. These annual trips are the makings of some great great memories. We sure love Uncle John and Matt.
