The fam in front of the Flatiron Bldg. I had a great day yesterday taking the family to New York City. Rather than do a birthday party for my daughter Jessica this year (her birthday is Christmas Eve), we surprised her with a day trip to the city. She's always wanted to see the city, and we told her she could choose two things to see (besides what we already had planned). She chose to see FAO Schwarz and the Flatiron Building. We left the bus station in downtown Baltimore at 6:30am and arrived in NYC around 10am. We walked down to the Flatiron Building, then on the Subway to SoHo. From there we jumped back on the Subway to Midtown to meet a teacher friend of mine at Uncle Mario's Pizza. Lunch was great and had a chance to catch up with my friend Josh. After lunch we headed further uptown to Central Park. We were able to show the kids we were married on Gapstow Bridge. It was nice to share that and get a pic of them on the bridge. After walking around the park for a while (and letting the kids enjoy running around the park), we headed to FAO Schwarz. That place was unbelievable packed, and there was an hour long line to get in. Luckily, families with strollers were allowed to get in without waiting in line. Of course, no trip is full to NYC during the holidays without stopping by Rockefeller Center. The kids were able to see the tree just prior to Jackson falling asleep. Lastly, we hit Times Square to show the kids all of the sights and sounds. It was an absolutely great trip. The kids behaved so wonderfully and it was nice to get to share the city with them, since it is so important to Melissa and me in so many ways. This may be something we have to do on a yearly basis...
