Day 8

Saturday started out with Ginny, Dave and kiddos coming to our house for breakfast. We had bagels from Pick-a-bagel. My new fav is an everything bagel with egg and pastrami. Yum-o.

We then all walked over to Central Park for storytime at the Hans Christian Anderson statue. It was so fun-for all of us!

 

 

After storytime was over we hopped in an uber (our first car ride since we arrived in NYC!) and went to Chelsea Pier to catch the Circle Line boat around the harbor.

 

 

 

 

 

It was super touristy and not the best idea-but the boys did great and hung in there. We did get some good shots of the Statue of Liberty so that was a plus!

After we docked, we walked over to Hudson Yard where all of the trains go to be serviced. On top of Hudson Yard is something new called, "The High Line." The High Line is a three mile stretch of walking paths built above the city streets. You literally walk above the streets through the Meatpacking district and Chelsea. So so cool!

 

 

 

 

After we walked for a bit it started to rain pretty hard so we ducked into Dos Caminos for an early dinner and to celebrate sweet TJ's upcoming birthday where he will turn three years old! 

 

After dinner, the Badanes family packed up their things and drove back to D.C. We miss them already! So thankful they were able to spend a few days with us in NYC!
