Since Daddy's a Navy man, we absolutely had to visit the aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid.
Of course, every child deserves a little fun at F.A.O. Schwarz...
...and do a few little dance moves on "The Big Piano".
For those Beatle fans (ahem...Amanda) Strawberry Fields in Central Park and seeing the famed Dakota building (where Lennon was shot and big stars like Lauren Bacall live) were definitely a must!
True Catholics would never pass up going to mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. (Sorry for the blurred picture, it was taken in haste right before mass began.)
Peeking into fountains while making our way to Rockefeller Center is always fun!
Going up to the Empire State Building was "sooo cool, Mama! We're outside in the sky!"
A visit to China Town wouldn't be complete without shopping there and having a delicious authentic Chinese dinner! YUM! This brought back great memories of our trips to China!
Times Square was a daily stop for food, shopping and fun. Day. And. Night. Sometimes late nights as you can tell by AJ's yawn.

Ohilda,
I am so sorry for being so behind in my blog reading. I am just now getting caught up on your NYC trip and first day of school activities. It looks like you had a FABULOUS trip to NY. Now, that is quite a birthday bash!! And it is so nice to see you were able to visit with so many at Central Park. I am sure they just loved meeting you, as I know I would. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Your pictures of NYC brought me back to my childhood in NJ and visits to "the City." I can not tell you the number of times I went into St. Patrick's and was in awe of the beauty and the reverence, but never attended Mass because I was not Catholic. Now I am Catholic, and I live so far away, I don't know when I will have the privilege of kneeling before Our Lord in this beautiful cathedral. So glad you were able to go!
