Traveling to the Big Apple is a lot of work. It's crowded, noisy, and overwhelming. The subways are difficult to navigate with strollers and elevators are few and far between. Strap a 25 pound feverish 2.5 year old to your body, push a 35 pound 4 year old in a stroller, place yourself in Times Square about 10 minutes before the "end of the world", add a little rain and you've got yourself one hot mess. This, by the way, is my favorite phrase ever, courtsey of my friend Jenny D :)
This is not to say we didn't have fun. We did. Travelling with kids is hard, but the experiences we are giving them are hopefully worth every ounce of trouble we go through.
Without further ado, here are the highlights!
The crew:
The destination: World's Largest Dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History
a super cool panorama of a life size brontosaurus!
Best sandbox in the city: ( a kid sized archeological dig).. Kids entertained, parents happy.
The elephants!
Amazing dioramas:

| Ben's favorite animal of all time: The Jaguar |
The fountain at Lincoln Center:
The Big Piano and the Nursery at FAO Shwarz! (Lillian was in baby heaven)
The hotel:
Mommy's late night photo field trip (and the reason I carried the tripod all the way to NYC)!!

And, last but not least, the reason for the trip: my dear friend and Lillian's godmother, Vicki!
We haven't aged a bit, right?
