New York

In the middle of July we got to go to New York for a long weekend with Marcus' Dad and Kimberly! It was so much fun. It was the first time for Marcus, Megan went a long time ago when she was like 13. Payton stayed home with Grandma and Papa (Megan's parents) and had a blast with them. We got to see a lot of cool sights.

We stayed in a hotel just a few blocks away from Times Square. That is a pretty cool place to see at night all lit up. We went to the "top of the Rock," which is the Rockefeller Center, at night and got to see a great view of the city at night. We got a cool picture of the Empire State Building all lit up.

The next day we went on top of Empire State and got a great daytime view of the city. It is amazing how many tall buildings there are there. Later that night we got to go and see Wicked!!! Megan was very excited, she has been wanting to see this show for a few years now, so it was awesome for her to finally see it. It was very good! Thankfully everyone else liked it too, since she told them we had to go see it. :)

We also went to the Museum of Natural History (the one from the movie Night at the Museum). It was pretty cool to see, but it didn't look too much like the movie.

We also went to Central Park, of course! It is so amazing that they have this huge park in the middle of a towering city. While we were there we had to stop at a hot dog stand and get a hot dog. Megan forgot that Marcus wanted to take a picture, so hers was pretty much gone by that time! Dang hungry pregnant lady! :)

Last but not least we went to see the Statue of Liberty. She hasn't aged one bit! :) It is fun to see so many places that you see frequently in the movies. It makes them a little more real.

Thanks for taking us MOH and Kimberly!
