the big apple

This was the first time to NYC for all 5 of us.  Friday evening we checked into our hotel which was just steps away from Times Square.  We had dinner with a friend of mine who has lived in NYC for 13 years now.  We haven't seen each other since then and it was really nice to catch up and meet his lovely wife.
Friday night we walked around Times Square after dinner...a giant TRU complete with ferris wheel and life-size Barbie house and the best Disney store I've ever seen.  And yes, we even saw the infamous naked cowboy (and the lesser known naked cowgirl).
Kyle and Jillian's faces after just hearing we are taking a Disney Cruise (I love how Leah is still processing the information...it took her a few seconds but she was just as excited!).  We did the big trip reveal in the huge Times Square Disney store, a few cast members helped us out and gave the kids some fun stickers.

Saturday we enjoyed walking around the city to explore some well known sights....
Rockefeller Centre
nintendo store complete with Leah sized pikachu and display with
2012 game system vs. 1990 game system

Breakfast at Tiffany's is my favourite movie so I just had to walk past that famous window.
We even saw Ms. Holly Golightly

Central Park
what a nice way to spend a few hours before heading to the port to check-in for the cruise
