New Yorkers FINALLY head to NYC

After several years of thinking about it - I finally remembered to BUY TICKETS in September to go down to NYC for the day and see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show. This has been running since 1933 in Radio City Music Hall. We left Albany at 7:30am via the MEGA-Bus. This is a double decker express to NYC. Just 2-1/2 hours and VOILA - you're there. The girls got to sit in the very front row on the 2nd deck. It's like being in the drivers seat with no stearing wheel. WHATTA RIDE!
Ingrid's bird's eye view of the Lincoln Tunnel.


Grace likes to STAND on the subway - - - - we'll, in the morning anyway!Grace got her wish - to see the Statue of Liberty. Altho from afar - it was a beautiful day down in Battery Park.


There is even a building in NYC called the "GRACE BUILDING". It is adjacent to Bryant Park.


Here is the patron filled lobby of the Radio City Music Hall. I can't believe we finally did this trip. Everyone is very excited!

Even if we did have to go up to the 3rd Mezzanine. The show was great. David got lucky too because even tho still jet-lagged from just returning from Europe - all those Rockette leggs - 80+ of them, DID INDEED keep him awake thru the whole show. There were even two movie clips for which we had to use 3D glasses. Quite a place.

After the show, Grace finally started to understand why they call this "the city that never sleeps". We had dinner at 9:30! Mostly because we had walked ourselves stupid before the show and never sat down for a whole meal. For Ingrid that meant "CHEESECAKE"! Also, because we were tired and the train to Albany didn't leave until 11:50. It was a long day, but we're so glad we made the trip.


A view of Times Square (I think) - from 50th and 6th Avenue. It's Saturday night in NYC!



HAVE a HAPPY THANKSGIVING Everyone - - - - - -
