NYC Day 1

 This year for spring break we decided to skip our usual tropical trip and head to NYC for the week!

The kids have never been there so we were so excited to show them the big city and do as many amazing things as we could!

We left our easter baskets out early in hopes that the Easter Bunny would come before we left.  And they did!!!

We got up nice and early and headed to the train station!

We ended up seeing some friends on the train!

It was our first time taking the train and we all agreed that we will definitely do it again!!!

I got to sit with my girl but I slept the entire time lol.  

The train station was right across the street from our hotel room!

This was the view from our hotel room.  That is the top of the train station.

For some reason, we all loved that our hotel room window opened a teeny tiny crack.

After unpacking and getting settled we hit the streets to find a place for dinner. We went to Lucy's down the street from our hotel room.  We spent the night talking about all the stuff that we wanted to do while we were in NYC!

The next morning we ate breakfast and then headed out to check out Times Square.  Of course, Claire and I were thrilled to have our first Starbucks in NYC!

Then we stopped into Krispy Kremes to have a donut!

We loved watching them make the donuts!

Then it was time for our first MLB Basketball game!  

We had so much fun at the game!  We are all now big Nets fans!!!

Thank God for cell phones, they made getting around the city so easily!

After the game we were supposed to go to Haru Sushi.  I went there last time I was in NYC and the food was amazing and I couldn't wait to go back. But when we were  just about there A MAN HOLE EXPLODED right in front of the restaurant! So we couldn't go there but in NYC it is pretty easy to find a new restaurant! 

So we found a small Irish Pub to enjoy our dinner. We made it through our first full day in the city and we absolutely LOVED it! We couldn't wait for the next day!
