I couldn't believe it when my FIL had told me that they had closed streets in Times Square. I snapped this early in the morning before the hoards of people began tromping the streets.
In NY we went to Rock of Ages on Broadway starring Constantine from American Idol. I can't believe that 14 yr.olds are now into 80's rock! It was a good show, probably the highlight of our trip for Alexis (left). The cast was so gracious signing autographs after the show was over.
After all these years of traveling to NY I finally made it to MOMA. The collection they have here is breathtaking.
Of course we saw the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bldg., Ground Zero and Central Park. Rode the subway, ate in Hell's Kitchen, watched a game of Petanque in Bryant Park and much more.
Oh, and I can't forget Cafe Habana! My friend Amy had turned me on to this place a few years ago. They have out of this world corn!
This was a great time for my friend and I to spend with our daughters. Having fun, getting around the cities together and seeing our history. My youngest will be finishing 8th Grade in 5 more years and I look forward to doing it all again with her.
Fabulous photos and a great trip. My son's grade 8 class had their graduation trip to NYC and they loved it. As for kids and 80s music, oh yes...both my 17 and 21 year olds love the 80s music!

Wow! Very exciting trip for your daughter
and friends of yours to share together!!
That corn looks yummy! I like corn with
butter, lime and hotsauce on it.
Fun highlight of the trip! I like
Constantine! He just has that face
that is so expressive.
God Bless You and Yours!!!

I love this idea, Michelle and I can't believe that Blake will be in 8th grade in three years. Seriously, it does not feel like it was that long ago that I was in 8th grade and Terry was crushing on me:)

what a great trip it must've been!
My cousin & her husband are two of the producers for Rock of Ages - they are having a ball with it!
