This was our last day in NYC, We took our tour bus to do the uptown tour...It wasn't as hot as the previous days but it was still fairly warm!
 |
| My little "smilies" on top of the bus getting ready for another day... |
 |
| We love the Seinfeld show and was excited to see where the "real" soup man is - we had every intention on going there but our feet were just too tired by the end of the day... |
 |
| We went to the Museum of Natural History - the only cool thing was this scale. |
 | |
|
 |
| A really neat looking church... |
 |
| The tracks going to the Bronx |
 |
| I really wanted to expose the boys to some culture - i made them go to the Gugenheim Museum. They weren't too thrilled... until i checked out an audio head cassette that explained each piece of art work. This was when the good times began to roll! The boys got a HUGE kick out of the explanations of rocks dropped on glass and the glass breaking to become art & cotton glued on metal & rocks placed here & there... etc... We were having a good ol' time - i was waiting for them to kick us out... |
So, after the museum - we tried to get back on our bus but we waited 30 min (was supposed to come every 10min) and so we started walking through Central Park...
 |
| At Central Park... this was about all that we did there. It got hot by this time and we were trying to get back on our bus... |
I wished that we would've went into the MOMA but we were so darn hot and ticked that our bus wasn't coming that we just continued to walk. The boys were pouting b/c they wanted to go on a speed boat ride and i was pouting b/c i wanted to go to a REAL broadway show. We waited again for a bus at the next stop down the route and when 1 finally came - it was full! I was ticked and told the guy that they needed to get more busses running - we had been waiting for 45 min - he said that he'd call but i'm sure that he didn't and just thought of me as a crazy tourist lady! So, we then hailed our first cab!!! it was great fun and not as expensive as we thought - about 10 bucks to get us to Times Square to buy some Broadway Tickets to "Catch me if you Can". Then we walked to the harbor only to find out that supposedly bad weather was coming and they had cancelled the speed boat trips:( BUMMER!! We decided to take another taxi back to our hotel and start to pack for our trip home in the early morning. Then it was off to a REAL broadway show!! YAY! Our seats weren't as good as the "Rock of Ages" Show - oh, i forgot to mention at the RofA show we were sitting in row 8! and we did leave after the first act. I guess we could've snuck out earlier 1 by 1 but i think we were in complete shock!! Anyway - it didn't matter that we were up above about 5 rows from the back of the theatre - it was FANTASTIC!!! and if you ask the boys, they will tell you that was the FAVORITE part of NY!! YAY!!! i was so excited to hear that!! What a wonderful way to end our first trip to NYC!!
