New York City

Finally, after spending three days in NYC we are home. Steve and I went along with Steve's parents and his sister and her husband. We left really early in the morning on Thursday, drove to Albany and then took the train to Penn Station. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis right in the middle of Times Square with an awesome view!

We spend Thursday afternoon taking in the sights close by the hotel and then that evening we went to the Broadway show Mamma Mia. We had front frow, center seats on the Mezzanine with another awesome view. (Cameras went not allowed). Friday we woke up and bought tickets for an opened top bus tour around New York - we saw every sight there is too see and then walked another 20 miles to get close ups of all the sights. Friday night my Father-in-law treated us all to dinner at The View restaurant on top of our hotel (the 48th floor). The whole dining area rotated as you were sitting and eating giving an everchanging view of the city while we ate (Steve, Tom and Joe - did not like the Vichyssoise ((don't ask - it's a whole other blog))!!

Saturday morning we got up early and toured the city - by foot - until mid afternoon when we caught the train home at last. It was the best trip I have ever taken and can't wait to do it again. Thanks Carol and Joe - we love you,

Amour, amy
