Day 2, Part 5 - Times Square

These actually should have gone with Empire State Post, but I'll just add them here...super quick elevator, our ears popped several times going up & down.  The observatory is on the 86th floor, and I believe it took under 2 minutes.

Headed back down....

Gotta try on the Statue of Liberty crowns in the gift shop!  And, of course, the lego model I said everything famous had!

Love this one!  At Times Square!  We had so much extra time after the Empire State Building, we decided to take a small detour by Times Square on our way to dinner.  The very center is pedistrian only, no through traffic, so you can just stand there & take it all in.  It was pretty much exactly like I imagined - bright, busy, bustling.....cracks me up that Kyla is taking in the view instead of looking at the camera :)

We took the bottom left photo for Nathan; many times Kyla would comment about "Oh, Nathan would love this!" or something like that, or want me to take a picture of something for him.  We walked through with either Bob & Amanda in front or Sue & I in front, with Anna & Kyla holding hands in the middle & it worked great.  Far right bottom, the New Year's Eve ball, right above the 2012. 

 Sweet girls!

Huddling to keep warm at an intersection!  The stereotypical hot dog/pretzel stands! That was on Kyla's 'wishlist' of things to do (along with a million other things, of course, although I do think we did every.single.one of them!) and so we did eat hot dogs one day from the cart.  And I do have pictures too, of course.

Largest store in the world, Macy's.

This bowling pin advertisement thing kept tapping Kyla on the shoulder & then backing away playing with her.  Hard Rock, Good Morning America, and the NYPD all right there too......

Interesting walk!
