New york New York!

We love New York.  We took Carter two years ago for the first time, and he's asked to go back ever since.  We were able to take a few days and get up there over spring (ha!) break, and had a great time.   There was sleet and freezing weather at home, and we're glad we didn't have that, but it was Cold!!

We did some things we've done before, and a few new things.  One of the funniest moments on the trip was in the Museum of Modern Art.

Something we recognize!

Yep, headed to an art museum in definitely new for us!  Carter was told by a teacher that there was a new exhibit there of old video games that you could play.  That was very interesting.  We headed into the other exhibits and were treated to very interesting, modern art.  A frying pan. A pile of yarn. A pink plank.  We know we just don't get the "art" in some of this, but we lost it when Carter came up to me and said "Mom....it's a piece of paper. In a frame." 

And it was.  It was a piece of white paper. Framed.  And then there was a piece of grayish-offwhite paper. Framed.  We laughed and laughed. 

OK, so we also did get to see art by Picasso, Cezanne and others that we recognized. That was fun.  But then he had enough and said "no more framed paper" and we gave in. 

Chinatown, Little Italy and his first Broadway show were our new things; the M&M store, the ferris wheel at ToysRUs and FAO Schartz were some favorites that we repeated.  There are still so many things on our list that we hope to experience next time. 

And now we're back home to reality and catching up with our sleep.  But we hope to be in the city that never sleeps very soon. 

Once we catch up.
