Well we had a wonderful time in NYC yesterday! I really loved it! The bus ride over was
sooo long (3 hours) and I was so uncomfortable on the way over.. I forgot how bumpy buses are! Also made me a little sick to my stomach. I was nervous because there
arent seat belts in charter buses so
rylei wasnt in a car seat.. but she did well really. she colored and listened to
daddys music and went back and forth a lot.

Amazed by the buildings

We got dropped off at Radio City Music Hall and the madness
began!
lol It took
carl about an hour to realize he
didnt have to say
excuse me to everyone.. because they
wouldnt listen... and that he
didnt have to acknowledge every person passing out
flyers and the street vendors
lol We went to Central Park first... EH WRONG ANSWER
lmao It was
SantaCon 2010! which you can get the gist of
here. they really
wherent TOO bad but very loud and drunk
lol one touched my hair and I felt the need to shower... I wanted to bring
Rylei to the playgrounds in central park but
thats the direction that the gazillion
santas where in so we stuck to
sheeps meadow and she ran around a little. Enough to tucker her out and she was asleep before we could find lunch! We passed
FAO at this time and she was asleep :-( so we skipped it... but I got my picture of it! So we asked a lovely NYC police
officer where Rays Pizza was and he gave us great directions to it and it was AMAZING... loved it.. and $2.55 a slice?!
UHM amazing even more!!!

After that we wondered around more.. went in at
Dylans but it was crazy packed so I just grabbed a few things and we left. By then
Rylei was awake and we got her a hot dog which she
didnt eat until like an hour later... She was cranky because she needed a diaper change but we
couldnt find a place and she was cold and tired still. We then made our way to Times Square and went to
disney which was AH-
MAZ-
ING!
Rylei loved it and cried when we left each area! Which
disney staff
didnt like and each one tried to make her feel better
lol Then it was the hunt for dinner.... ugh super hard!!! we really wanted a non chain place but
couldnt find anything that we would all eat that was under 30 bucks a person! So we saw
tgiFridays and was like whatever we will eat there... MISTAKE! hello $18 cheeseburger and $9 kids meal of pasta with NO sauce! It was a good burger but no burger is $18 good to me
lol But I think we where all happy to just sit and have quiet time
lol And we had a great view from our seat and I got to witness a bus hit a taxi. Its all in the experience right?
lol

Taxi vs Bus

Then the kicker of the trip... We go to the
rendezvous spot... the road is closed... which means our bus cant get there...
LOVELY what do we do??
lol so we waited and made a big group and 30
mins later we learn the driver has been circling around trying to find a spot to park. So we
didnt get out of the city until after 9:30 but after that
rylei went to sleep no problem and thus ended our night... We had a great time... But its not something that I want to do again soon... with a stroller... or with kids for that matter... or maybe just not at
christmas time
lol
Ray is super jealous that y'all got to eat at Ray's pizza. We didn't find it and he had wanted to go there so badly! We did get pizza though :) I'm glad you guys had fun. Food was super expensive there though, we ate dinner in Little Italy, it was AMAZING, but we also paid $22 for a bowl of pasta and $10 for a glass of win! lol
ReplyDeleteWe want to go back, but when there are no holidays, Christmas time is too crazy there!
Theres like 3 Rays all claiming to be the first... We went with Orginal Rays Famous Pizza as recommended by a cop. It was amazing. I think it was on Lexington and 53rd maybe?
