Empire State of Mind...

And now part 2 of the photo upload extravaganza.... After Christmas, we drove to New York to visit relatives who live on Long Island. We had a great time visiting and especially enjoyed our day trips to the City.


Waiting for the train to Penn Station...

Cousin Andy (and his sister Molly) made the trip with us.


Hanging out on the train...


I snuck a photo of Mia looking uber urban...



Nicklas and his New York pizza...



Group shot at lunch...




It was SUPER crowded when we were in the City. It was the Sunday after Christmas and everyone and their brother was visiting. We made our way to Rockefeller Plaza to see the tree.



A famous marquee...


Visiting Central Park....



In the jewel of the city...



Any thoughts of going ice skating in Wollman Rink were quickly squashed when we saw the line going around the park...




The boys doing some rock climbing...


Since we couldn't ice skating, we took a carriage ride around the park....




Checking out the sights....




The next day, Seeger worked on building a city at Aunt Carolyn's. Cousin Andy offered his engineering expertise...




On the third day, the Polack and I took Mia in to the City for a grown up day. Here is Mia waiting on the Staten Island Ferry.



A glimpse of the Statue of Liberty!



Returning back to Manhattan and heading somewhere for dinner. After dinner we went to see West Side Story on Broadway.




One last shot in the City of Mia at Times Square.
She LOVED the trip.

Well, I wasn't in the city with the family, but I did see Seeger's creative surge of roads and overpasses, and waterways for his truck driving imagination. It was an amazing feat, and I have pictures to prove it as well.
Even better were the boys on a visit to a Air and Space museum, while mom and dad went back to the city with Mia. It was great having the whole family and I hope they come back soon!
