The
great thing about visiting New York, is we're not trying to see
everything.
Sometimes
it feels like we've already seen it all, but then we remember we haven't, or
that Marty hasn't been there at Christmastime!
After
sleeping in until 11:00 every day (9:00 Utah time and we're on vacation -- so
no judgment!)
we
decided to get out the door by 10:00 today, have brunch and take advantage of a
full day.
First
stop, Smith's, one of Courtney's favorite brunch/lunch spots -- blue cheese
chips!
Also,
Carine let us in on a little secret -- a peep hole down in the shared bathroom
wash basins.
Take
a peek and there's a video of an old-timey lady dancing. She's not too scantily
clad by today's standards, and is good for a laugh. It's clever!
First
stop was Wall Street to see the Bull. Haven't been there since 1997, probably.
On
the way was the New York Stock Exchange, Federal Hall and Trinity Church
(National Treasure)!
Next stop was Chinatown for Dim Sum, shopping and foot massages.

Then over to Ground Zero Memorial and to the top of The Freedom Tower.
Dan and I hadn't been here since they were finished.
Spectacular view from the top!
The Oculus
Inside the Brookfield Center and The Oculus.
Merry 1st Day of the Christmas Season!
Next stop was Chinatown for Dim Sum, shopping and foot massages.

$20 for a
30 minute foot massage is heavenly when you've been walking so much. They have
tons of salons all over Chinatown. It bordered on the good kind of painful.
Everyone came away very happy.
Courtney
and Carine left to join Michael and his family for the Knicks game.
Dan,
Marty, Nick and I went to Knives Out. I highly recommend it!
Super
entertaining, family-friendly movie.
When
we got home, we played Hearts and Double Ditto and ate ice cream.
It's
been a fantastic day!
