We signed up for the early tour of Radio City Music Hall but had to wait so we went to Fifth Avenue. We saw the large Atlas Statue at
Rockefeller Center as well as St. Patrick's Cathedral. The girls got to do a little shopping at the American Girl store that had four floors of merchandise including a hair salon for dolls.
We went on the Radio City Music Hall Backstage tour and it was definitely on of the highlights of the trip. So much history, nostalgia, and glamour. The theatre was
designed to look like a sunset with all kinds of gold and orange colors. I was surprised that the girls were so in to the tour. The stage and guest room are the only things that has not been refurbished. The stage is still state of the art with its four dropping parts and turntable.
The lobby chandeliers are lowered on cables and it takes 8 hours with six people to clean one
The girls pretending to put on make-up in the ladies' restroom and lounge
A famous
Rockette!
On "Top of the Rock". A view of
Central Park from
Rockefeller Center
The Empire State Building
One of my dreams
fulfilled! I wish I could have brought my own skates though. The dull plastic skates were so limiting.
Grand Central Station
The New York City Public Library. It was covered in scaffolding and is getting a
face lift but the lions were still guarding it.
An awesome way to spend the afternoon, hanging out in the
Children's Section with the original Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends
Todd and Ivan topped their night off with a game at
Madison Square Gardens to watch the New York Rangers play Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Todd said the fans are rough. Pittsburgh won.
Linda, the girls and I topped the night off at Serendipity 3 with frozen hot chocolates and sundaes.
mm mm......
Humongous!
Our table is right by the clock
