Let the Adventure Begin!

Our long awaited adventure arrived! We headed to the airport early Sunday July 3. The next few posts will be total picture overload. Hope you enjoy!
Finally on the "BIG AIRPLANE"!


We took a shuttle ride and arrived at our hotel. The hotel was older but well kept and the rooms were more of a suite. We had plenty of room so we cancelled Grandma Jones' room and she stayed in our room with us and the boys took turns staying with Grandma and Grandpa Knight. We loved the location of The Hotel Wellington. We were only about 2 blocks from Central Park, right between Carnegie Hall and Carnegie Deli.





Food was one of our biggest concerns in the city both because of cost and finding something the boys would eat. So we were very comforted to have a Subway restaurant next door.


We didn't ride the Subway a ton but this subway stop right outside our hotel was convienient.


We did attempt to eat at Carnegie Deli as it came highly recommended but the menu was not Knight boy friendly so we passed on it.


This is the soup restaurant the inspired the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld. It was about a block from our hotel.


Luigi's came highly recommended by the Bell Man at the hotel it was about 2 blocks away reasonably priced and we all loved it. We ate here a few time during our stay in the city. After we were settled in the hotel and had some dinner we decided to explore. We were just a few blocks from the heart of Times Square. Here are some of the sites!








The boys had heard alot about the Toys R Us in Times Square and it did not disappoint. This huge ferris wheel is right inside the main doors.

Easton was brave and had his picture taken by the dinosaur.


The Lego department was of course a favorite.



We also hit the M&M store, Hersheys store and a few other shops before heading back to the hotel. It was all a little overwhelming but we felt we were off to a good start.
