Next we headed back to the Rockefeller Center to go to the "Top of the Rock" observatory that is actually higher than the Empire State Building.
Jump!!
We saw the huge Swarovski Crystal Chandelier again....
It's near impossible to photograph, especially on that white background, so you'll have to take my word for it that it is massive & super sparkley!
Very precise too....
The red & green is the Empire State Building. Although I had read and heard otherwise, I actually enjoyed the view from the Empire State Building better. I felt like you could see more, including the Statue of Liberty and River better, and you could see straight down much better; the retaining wall things here didn't have the holes like they did there. Both are obviously quite impressive though!
This one's a bit fuzzy, you never know what you're going to get when you ask a stranger to take your photo, but I think it's cute anyway.
Impressive antennas on top of the building...
This looks very similiar to the photo on their advertisement :) I actually like mine a bit better though, ha!!!
They had this cool light room that was motion activated. So it pretty much went crazy when Kyla walked/ran/danced in!
It played music and made sounds too, pretty cool. She loved it!
View from the top....
The elevator had a clear top, so you could see going up!
One more of the view!
We'd eaten a big, late, lunch at the Greek Restaurant, so we got Jamba Juice and I let Kyla get a donut for dinner, ha! She'd asked a couple of times & I hadn't let her, so now was the time. She chose chocolate with sprinkles, of course.
Sweet girl!
Back at the apartment! Thanks again to Jamie & Rachel for letting us stay with them!
This was actually a mess-up, but I thought it was kind of neat of the George Washington Bridge in the background and Annie's profile shadow, see it??
The girls played & played some more, and then Kyla crashed. She actually had NO trouble falling asleep, which is really unusual for her, she didn't even read or anything, and told me that she wished she could be THIS tired every night so she would just fall to sleep immediately, ha!
