Friday morning was our only bit of bad weather. It was raining but it worked out well because we had tickets to go to the 9/11 museum. GJ took the morning off to rest her knee at the hotel. We all took our time going through the museum which was really well done.
By the time we got out of the museum, the rain had stopped and we walked around downtown a bit. We saw the fancy train station…
the NYSE…
the Brooklyn Bridge from the deck of Robert’s old office building….
and the Statue of Liberty from across the river!
The kids found a playground…
and then we headed up to Union Square to a shoe store I had found out about called Flight Club.
Maxwell was in heaven! They had some really cool and rare sneakers. The boys checked a bunch out…and got some sticker shock on some!
Maxwell ended up walking out with a pretty cool pair of Jordans!
I then took my city kids back uptown…
where we stopped into Nordstrom!
Samantha found plenty of things to add to her Christmas list!
We then got ready to hit up Madison Square Garden to see the Knicks take on the Portland Trailblazers! Of course the boys visited the store as soon as we got there!
It was the most fun night! We had fantastic seats with no one blocking our view. Damian Lillard on Portland was injured and didn’t play so Spence decided to cheer for the Knicks and that was the right call! The game went into overtime and we saw some really good basketball. There were lots of famous people there too – Edie Falco, Tracy Morgan, Noah from Stranger Things…even Flavor Flav and FloRida! So fun! The best part though? Spencer caught a t-shirt that was throw into the crowd!! Yeesss!
Even better? Samantha was on the jumbotron!!!! Amazing!
It was just an epic night!
We love NYC!
Never imagined an NBA game could be so fun! Loved it!
Full day of sites and events. I’m so happy that you took this trip.
Another big night!
